PORTRAIT CHALLENGE BY @StudioTeaBreak AT TWITTER

   This week #portraitchallenge is a glass inlay of Akhenaten from c.1353-1336BC

  

Akhenaten decided to have a bit of fun and cosplayed as The Diva from the movie 'Fifth Element'.

The materials used were: Derwent's Coloursoft colour pencils and the Canson's Art Book One Sketchbook

STORY OF ME WEEK 4...

And last week!

My last phrase is "The queen could dance fantastically. Do you like my story?"

And this project came to a full circle!
The first illustration we see my author thinking about what she was going to write!
In the last one the book is ready and she is reading it to a young group of fans! Did they like the story? Of course they did! She is an amazing author!

STORY OF ME WEEK 3

My author sent me next week's phrase: "the children played with the queen".

Today it is so dark that even the flash doesn't help!

STORY OF ME PROJECT WEEK 1 AND 2

Mrs. Susannah Jeffries, a class teacher for P2A,  had the brilliant idea of uniting 6 years old with illustrators.

Mrs. Jeffries explains all on her website:  https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/fi/creativelearning/2017/02/26/the-story-of-me-making-words-memorable/

This project will run throughout March!

Before I show my illustrations, I will not name the child attributed to me for privacy reasons nor will I share her photos. She will be illustrated every week, it's part of the project.

Here's my illustrations/collaboration with my author:

Week one my author sent me the following phrase: '________(name of the child) is an author. What has she been doing today?'

Week two my author's phrase is: 'She is thinking of stories for children. She is going to write about a queen.'

 What will my author send me for the next weeks???

TRYING NEW/OLD MEDIUMS...

I normally use coloured pencils with my pen and ink drawings just to give a tiny touch of colour.
I don't remember besides school if I ever did a complete coloured pencil 's drawing.
Here's my drawings from Yesterday and Today:

Maz Kanata from Star Wars

The materials I used. The sketchbook is an Art Book One from Canson, 100 gsm

Meanwhile here's a photo of the new material... Love the smell of these pencils...
