Holiday homework

Celebrate pride month. 

 I did this artwork during June, which mean the time when the world is celebrating LGBT pride month. As a huge supporter for LGBT community, and also to share my love with them after the terrible incident happenned in Orlando, I really want to represent it through my painting. I know that Caroline use acrylic paint, but I'm not confident in using those so I chose watercolour instead. I just use six main colour in this artwork, but with different tones, inspired by the LGBT's rainbow flag: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.

Horse as a model.

The idea of putting animals' head in human's body has been appeared in my mind for quiet a long time. But because of the fact that well, I can't draw animal so it has always been a thinking, not a thing I would consider doing in the near future. Then when I saw David Chan's artwork in the holiday assignment, I said why not. The whole artwork inspired by some fashion magazine I was reading at that time. At first I was planning to chose something that is sexier and wilder, like a bikini model, or Marilyn Monroe. But then I thought about horse, an animal that symbolise intelligent, patient and noble. I ended up choosing an elegant, simple and sophisticated look for my artwork in the new Mulberry's collection.

First, I use HB pencil to do the outside part, just to give an overall look and mark out which point to shade or to leave it white. Then the rest just using a simple normal 2B pencil. The hardest part would be the hair, the body and the mouth. I think I could do it better if I had more patient (which obiviously I'm not. Apparently watching rock show and hot weather is the main reasons). Just to note, I do art the best when I'm watching something relaxing, like Friends, or at that time was Hotel Transylvania II.
