Punk'd


Step 1: Draw any simple graphic design.
For this, I used my dad's black roller pen (while he was sleeping) for I had no black sketch pen. Knowing my blog is not looked at by cool artists, I suggest the ignorant junta to use a pencil if they're not too sure about their drawing capabilities.



Step 2: Colour it according to your liking.
I used ordinary sketch pens. Since I had only a limited colour range, I used only those. You could make it more bright and colourful.



Step 3: Use any software or graphic editing program to render tonal variations to your artwork. I used Adode Photoshop (version 7.0.1). Create as many versions of your image as you please then compile them into a single piece to create your own pop-art masterpiece.

In case, you don't want to use any software for some damned reason a lazy moron like me wouldn't understand, then trace the image on different sheets and use a different colour scheme for each new piece. Stick them all on a single thick sheet of paper or cardboard and you are done.


This was the final step by the way.



About the title: Apparently, this already disappointing title turned out to be a lame reality show aired on MTV but nevertheless, the idea was to have a flashy name because the artwork would be very colourful, bright and flashy too. Also, if you notice, the illustration is pretty modern and punk style. Hence the title, Punk'd.


Note: This is just an experimental work to see how photoshop works and how it can be used for various other artworks.

Milton Water Bottle, Ceramic Pottery and Curtains


The water bottle is okay, the pot is crooked and the curtains are badly shaded. What else.. umm, I guess nothing.

The Game That We Play


Okay, bad bad artwork.

The idea was to create blocks of various sizes and related colours in order to form a complete picture but that couldn't be translated into paper on account of:

1. Lack of time
2. Lack of patience
3. Lack of abilities
4. Lack of feel
5. Lack of other (better) ideas

and most importantly:

6. Laziness

Now, okay, I am not going to get annoyed with myself and I am not going to get pissed off at those who'd snarl at me after this but, the list of "lacks" and point no. 6 led me to this new discovery!

Yeah, a cool technique which could do good to you IF you use it where it's required.

The technique is to kinda create water colour patch marks which can be done by taking in a good deal of paint, letting go off the excess and dipping it in water then putting it in small areas to give a patchy look.
The artwork is majorly done in poster colours and water colours are used to give some details here, there everywhere with the new "technique".


And I repeat, bad bad artwork but it's all part of the game, right!?
*stupid grin*
