THE BIG PAINTING

Okay so it's almost as big as me! Currently leant against my wardrobe and done in childrens poster paints (i can't afford that much expensive paint) Its so far from finished, but i can't decide what to do next? Any ideas??
I have a few but...?

MASK WORK

So far i have (almost) completed one mask. Below you will find a copy of my plan, and an image so far! So here, ye of little faith, is my MASTERPIECE :) so far:

                                               It still needs the HUGE black and blue feathers!!!

charcoal drawings (4)

These are all A2 in size. The most time was spend on day 12 (Mr. Joe Goring), taking fifteen minutes aprox

and the least time spent on day1 (Heart Shaped Glasses) which took less than five minutes.

These are excersises in working in charcoal because it's a fun medium, but my skills are well below par, and need improving!

Stuff

Hi!
It's been a while, hasn't it?

How are you?
Good, i'm glad you're okay, i kind of like you.
me?
Well, i got the place i wanted at university, and will be changing course in september! (woo!) This is fantastic news. I've been doing loads of really creative things recently, and will be uploading pictures shortly.
Heres some of the stuff i've been doing:

- BIG paintings
- making sketchy b's.
-sewing posters
- making huge, abnormal theatrical masqurade masks, from a variety of materials.

(at the moment i'm the most proud of the one i'm doing for jake, because it's a crow, and theres black sequins and feathers everywhere.) ALSO (speaking of jake he's on the otherside of the world right now, which sucks, so i'm distracting myself with art - which does not suck. It's awesome, and i'm having a whale of a time :D)
- working with charcoal (i'm getting much better at this woo!)
- small scale collages

Alll these wonderful things i'll be posting as soon as i can get pictures (jake took his flashy camera with him, so i have to borrow my dads.)

So the final one of these now 0.o
This is good because they need to go to print on thursday.

original image is nice, but scruffy.

For example there is no detail in the eyes.  This is layer 1.

This is layer two. I have begun to work into the original image.

 This is layer 1 and 2 combined. (looking better than the first one already!)

Having created a third layer by this point, welcome to layers 1,2, and 3.

layers 2, 3 and 4 (yes4!) are developing nicely, with layer 1 hidden.

Old Beth Development

 Woo the chair has been added! this is only layers 2 & 3 so the orgional drawing is out o' here!

 Started to do the dark swirls before realising they're in the opposite direction to the way the light falls. RESTART!

This is better :)

Added the light deffending old beth.

then decided to take her eyes out, since they detracted from the image. It works because it links to the "magic" in the goggles.

Witchy. and stuff.

do it a bit more subtley beth!

 any suggestions? comments, questions? It would be really good to get some feedback :D inbox me?
