Sunny Pojdl #2

Graffiti: This is part of my "what inspires me" section in my sketchbook. I based this work off of some graffiti that I saw in Brazil because I am not very good at drawing graffiti type pieces.

Sharpie: The sharpie is part of my observational drawings, it is my favorite out of the four other miscellaneous objects that I drew. I really like how simple it is because of the lack of shading and color.

Skull: I saw this skull in a magazine and I really like how it turned out. I used the 6B pencil and so far it is my favorite pencil to draw with.

The Sharpie does look realistic with the accurate shines and lettering. To add shading would alter your style.

Hints in using Artstor

There are many ways to find the images you’re looking for in the ARTstor Digital Library; a simple keyword search will often lead you to what you’re looking for, and an advanced search will help narrow the results. Wildcards can help when you don’t remember a precise name or title, or, conversely, when you are looking for something very specific. There are only four to remember:

The underscore (_) can represent any one character. For example, m_netwill retrieve monet, manet, etc.
The asterisk (*) can represent zero, one, or several characters. ren* will retrieve ren, rene, renoir, renaissance, etc.
The dollar sign ($) will expand the search to include terms that stem from a given root. $farm will retrieve farm, farmer, farming, farmyard, etc.
To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes (“…”). When searching for the painting Le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, enter “le moulin de la galette”. Also, unless your search phrase is enclosed in quotation marks, the order of terms will not affect the search, so searching for albrecht durer gives you the same results as searching for durer albrecht.
