Coach Trip > School Day
On Thursday 18th December I had an art trip to the Tate Modern which was pretty cool. Unfortunately we were delayed a little. Driving to London usually takes about two hours, give or take, but on Thursday it took a little longer than that. It actually took us four hours to get there, and another four hours back. That means that I spent more time on that coach than I would have if I’d just gone to school. That’s not including the other four hours at the Tate. Fun…
We were told to draw three of the pieces of art and a few of our own design. I just sketched a few pieces of the art quickly so I could do my own. My first was a very rough sketch of a fat, yeti-like man. I called him A Sketchy Character and had a little giggle. My second was pretty much the same guy, only hairier. However (as I was getting bored) it was all drawn with one line, meaning I didn’t take my pencil off the page once. My hand hurt for a while, but it was a good exercise as I obviously couldn’t rub anything out. I was quite proud of him.
I decided to scan him into the computer and have a play about with him. I used Illustrator and Photoshop to draw around and colour him and also give him a background. The picture at the top is the result. Result!
