First Day Of Level 6

So I'm back for my final year on illustration! Quite excited about getting into a routine again, and feel like i've done alot of maturing over summer in terms of work ethic, and i'm actually ready to get started. Slightly terrified but i'm sure that's normal.

Mega Crit

Today in the mega crit I was blown away by all the talent from level 5 + 6, here's a few sketchbook pages I found to be particularly inspiring:

1 - Really lovely piece by Ian (level 6), thought that the fluid use of shapes and subtle textures looked so effective in contrast with the harsh floating shapes. Really nice colour scheme aswell, conveys relaxing feel which I'm sure was intended.

2 - I really enjoyed the colour schemes used in this character design, but also the controlled expressiveness of the copic markers.

3 - I really appreciated this realistic chair drawing; over summer i've been drawing alot of interiors/furniture (not sure why) but it's quite difficult, so I appreciate the skill - aswell as it being a beautiful drawing!

4 - From the same artist as (3), love the realistic element with the expressiveness of brush strokes, an effective I try alot to create in my own work. I thought it was really atmospheric and almost transporting. Unsure of the artist however (I know they're in level 5, ill find them)

5- A really fun drawing from Hana (level 6), I love the bright colours and the pop arty feel. Think the beach theme is communicated really well (without actually drawing a beach). Really nice use of mixed media to add texture also.
