This is my finished piece. I used a Paintbrush for the ink in the background to give it a solid look. I also used water pens for the stone. For the man, i used black ink and hatched the lines to give him color and texture.

Finished(actually)
Materials: brown ink, black ink, pencil, paintbrush, water pen, ink pen Process: I first used a grid to draw the figure and then I pressed him onto the page, After this, I filled in the church in the background. I used the ink pen to cross hatch different amounts of ink onto the figure and church, this resulted in the different shade on his robe and in the background. Ideas. This portrait is of Catholicos Kevork the fifth also known as the “sorrowful” this picture is the first part of a three piece story in my portfolio. In this photo, so have him sitting in his seat of power, The church of Etchmiadzin. This church is where he governed and guided the Armenian church through the Armenian genocide. He kept 70,000 refugees at this church. I depicted him here because wit is the start of the story of the battle of sardarabad where this church was under threat. When advised to leave for his own safety, he refused, hence why he is sitting in the church, as he was it’s head.
Materials: Brown Pelican Ink, Black Ink, Ink Pen, Water pen, pencil, grid,
ReplyDeleteProcesses: Drew the image using a graph, transferred to watercolor paper, used ink and pen to fabricate the church behind him and fill in the colors.
Ideas: Put the priest who was the head of the Armenian church, Kevork the 'Sorrowful', in his seat of power in 1921. He was known for his humanitarian efforts throughout his reign. He stayed while the cathedral was under threat. This encapsulates the hope of the 70,000 refugees. The seige determined whether the church would survive. As the head of the church, he instructed the bishops to ring the bells and defend the area.
Very nice, it is quite an improvement! I know you worked on the beard more today. I would say it's 85% done. We need 7 projects by Christmas. 2 can be progress shots like your first piece. If you add another one it needs to be an advanced progress shot. This grade will go up before Christmas if it is finished, cropped, and the materials and processes and ideas are added to each piece.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to do the transfer idea for the earlier pieces we can try that but it has to be completed before Christmas so that we don't get behind. That is your semester final. 15 pieces are due by May.
