Georgina luck

This artwork was created by Georgina luck creating one of the many sports in the Olympics.
Georgina luck is a freelance illustrator that works in Brighton. She studied at the bristol school of art which she then graduated in 2006. She currently illustrates across a wide range of platforms including packaging, book jackets and outdoor media.

The artwork is in the concept art genre because it shows a visual presentation of the athlete and the sport in a graphical type of design. The artwork has the theme of the Olympics showing one of its major sports, athletics and the triathlon. The artwork shows the energy and power these athletes use to do their sport by the splashing of the water and the splattered ink on the runners feet and body. Georgina Luck has got inspiration from the London Olympics.

Pen and ink with watercolor were used to create artworks. The artist drew out the figures of the athletes first and then with a combination of ink and watercolor created the splashing and vibrant colors. This gives the effect of energy being released and the power of the athletes as they set of to win their competition. There is  evidence of shade and tone made by the colors but most of it is line work done by the pen.

I have chosen to look at these images because they intrigued me by the colors the artist has used and only using it in the important parts getting the audience to focus on it more. Leaving the rest untouched. The artwork reminds me of the Olympics and how the athletes gave their all to get the gold by the way the ink and watercolor is used in order to show energy and power in their movements.

 Natsko Seki

This is Natsko Sekis's artwork showing the city of Italy and a ferris wheel. Born in 1976 Natsko Seki grew up in Tokyo, Studied illustration in Brighton and then made her to London where she works now on an increasing number of worldwide commissions. Inspired by architecture and fashion from different ages and cultures.

The artwork seems to be in the genre of conceptual art by the way the pictures are positioned and glued down to create the sense of fantasy. The theme of this artwork seems to be building structures and city attractions it shows this by the how you are straight away focused on to the buildings in the picture. The artist has gotten inspiration from the buildings she has seen and the cities she has visited to get pictures for her work.

Natsko Seki seems to have to used pictures and her own drawings to make a collage to create a building or city. She has used pictures of real life buildings and objects and then drawn out a structure similar to the picture to make it seem it was part of the real picture then adding objects such as people and cars to make it more believable.There is only line and texture in the drawn structures but there is shade and tone in the pictures to create the rest of the collage image.

i Have chosen to look at this artwork because it looked different from other artworks. Instead of redrawing still life the artist has instead taken pictures and created the building or city with a collage of pictures and then recreated part of it with her own drawings which is something new that i have seen.The work has inspired me to do the same so instead of just drawing what i see, instead take pictures and recreate it through a collage.

Mathew Midgley

 

This is just two of Mathew Midgley's artwork showing a converse and a pile of illustration and design books.

Mathew Midgley is a freelance illustrator working in West Yorkshire. He graduated from college, in 1992, with a degree in English and developed his style by working in a series of sketchbooks. his influences come from modern illustrative artists, focussing on urban life.His  primary source of inspiration is from observation; whether it be a prolonged sitting in-situ or from a quick sketch.

The work shows the theme of everyday objects that are lying around your house, because it shows objects such as a shoe and books which can be found in your home. The artist has been inspired by the everyday things in his life that he sees.

Mathew Midgley seems to have used sketching pencils and color pencils to create this artwork due to the pencil outlines and the cross-hatching lines of the color pencils to create texture an tone. He has used realistic colors to give the effect of realism but at the same time show that its just an illustration. The artist has used shade and tone to create his artwork to make it look like the real object and has used cross-hatching to give it depth and texture.

I have chosen to look at this artwork because i like how the artist has used cross-hatching to create texture and tone to make it look realistic. it also has that cartooney feel to it which can be used in childrens books. Mathew Midgley's work has inpsired me by allowing me to see the effect color pencils can give and how they can make an object look realistic.
