Melissa's Mixed Media Art File

[lozzzliss]

Hello fellow creators!
Thank you for stopping by

First of all I'd like to say that I already used to have a blog topic here, but it's so outdated that I'd rather start a new one that's more in the mood of my current works. This is why I have decided to start posting from where I am at right now instead of overlapping the gap I created in my absence from these forums the past two years.

So here we go. I am currently an Illustration Design student in my second year and I just started exploring textures and their effect in artworks. I am also exploring my visual language and I've a (not so) secret desire to keep my digital art background close to my traditional art.

Too be honest, I have no idea where this blog is going but I hope it'll be filled with mixed media art that'll eventually overlap. I hope you'll have a fun time, as I am sure I will have.

Before I start posting I'd like to drop some of my social media links here for those interested:

First up ''Cabin in the Woods'' acrylic based with paper cut shapes on top and markers to finish it of. This piece was inspired on Henry David Thoreau's 'Walden'.

This was an assignment where we had to imagine being alone for a long time. Eventually I went into a different direction and made a book about being alone with one of my fears, spiders.

One of the things I was never ever good at was making clay sculptures so I decided to make two based on some sketches I made. Common food could come alive into a persona/character type that still remains somewhat simple.

Acrylic on clay, finished off with some nail polish to make certain parts glossy. The clay has been attached to the wooden plate with glue.

Hello lozzzliss!

All I can say is nice work! It's fairly different than the work we usually seearound here, but I like it a lot. Keep it up

[lozzzliss]

Hey!
Thanks haha, I am well aware. I just don't have any recent digital art at the moment but I'm sure it might sneak in here and there. Until then I will definitely keep posting

[cedricgo]

Thanks haha, I am well aware. I just don't have any recent digital art at the moment but I'm sure it might sneak in here and there.

You're welcome! I actually don't mind the different type of artwork. Variety is nice

Two sketchbook portraits, slowly working on my linework.

Throwing in some digital art.
I've been working on revamping an old character concept of mine in between projects and assignments whenever I can bit by bit. It's still in a rough shape but I'll get to it.. eventually haha.

[lozzzliss]

Progress on it so far. I've fixed multiple anatomy issues to be less present.
I forgot how relaxing this can be! Glad I have some time now.

[lozzzliss]

Another progress update. I am going to call it for today though, hopefully I'll have time again soon to do some more digital art and finish this.

[lozzzliss]

It's been a while since uploading, I've had an injury on my hand which made drawing a bit more challenging but not impossible! Also had some hectic weeks but here's an update!

Two digital sketches

and I wanted to upload a finished work about something my friend said but apparently it's too big of a file so I'll post that shortly.

[lozzzliss]

Here it is!
My friend send my this message on whatsapp when he was unable to sleep and I found it very amusing and it inspired this artwork

[lozzzliss]

I've been learning to animate in photoshop and these are some results from that

[cedricgo]

Oh, those are nice little animations! Is the second picture is also supposed to be animated? It shows up as a still image for me. Either way like the simplicity of drawings and the clean look of the white lines against the black background. That's a cool style!

[lozzzliss]

Thank you so much!
No, it is a bit confusing but the second one is a still imagine indeed.

[echoriel]

these hands animations are awesome!

[lozzzliss]

Thank you!

I've been working on a fanzine about spring which is a typographic assignment from art school and here are a few of my favourite works I made for it so far.

[lozzzliss]

Been really busy with two project weeks that took all my time, which made the first day off in a while so much sweeter. Here are some unfinished sketches I did for fun.

[lozzzliss]

It's almost evaluation time at art school and time is very cramped so I'll be sharing some stuff I've made for school

Three etchings that make a small series together in two different color variations:

and more of the fanzine about spring for typography class.
