how to steal like an artist: a guide

copy pasta'd from my 302 blog:

Just a little something I found interesting while surfing through the net through yet another sleepless night.

moar sneak peeks

Like the title says, more documentation of what I've been doing.





dogs: organs

Like my post with canine skeletal structures, I decided to look at their internal organs.


Charming.


I'm thinking of making my pamphlet in layers. Like, uh... since I've been using transparent paper I decided that maybe it'll be a good idea to take advantage of that.


So yeah, layers. And this will be placed under the 'skeleton' layer.

little sneak peek, sorta'

Started on doodling skeletons on left over tracing paper I found in my studio space (works out a lot better than I thought).








I like where this is going.

moar skeletons

Photos this time; gives me a better and clearer picture of their structure.



Kinda' beautiful in an eerie sort of way.

dogs: skeletons

Just compiled some photos of the canine skeletal structure. I'm thinking of making a pamphlet about my dog's anatomy, the same way parts manuals are about what makes up a gadget/vehicle/whatever.










For reference, really.

eureka: sort of

I'm going to create a parts manual of my dog.


In a sense it's kinda' like I'm 'over (lol no not really)' analysing her. Awesome.

some parts manual

Mostly cars and subject matters that has no relevant to my project, but aesthetically, this is entirely relevant to my current project.








never thought my dad's reels would come in handy

My dad wanted to sell a fishing reel of his, and after some hooha here and there, long story made short, I took one look at the fishing reel's parts manual and fell in love with it.

Probably because of the insane detail featured in the illustration.

I don't have any means of scanning it right now, but I'll get around to it eventually. For now, I'll look into the world of mechanics and spare parts a bit more.

Might come with something pretty interesting with this.

Hopefully.

ooh

To remedy my artist block, I did some surfing round the net and found some interesting ideas for my pamphlet (in terms of how it'll look/fold/whatever anyway).






yeah no

Decided that I've been hitting far too many roadblocks with my previous idea of turning my dog into a template meme, why?


Because almost everything's been done. Well, everything that's relevant to my dog (or more specifically, relevant to her personality anyway).


So yeah, I'm gonna' have to find a different direction and roll with it.

welp

Like my 302 blog, it's not that I haven't been neglecting this blog (*COUGH*YEAHRIGHT*COUGH*), it's just that I've been caught up with real life and haven't really had time to sit down, boot up the computer and properly compile notes and research together and, you know, pop into this blog and update it.


But no fear.


I'm going to collect all notes, research and bits of documentation I've been doing since my last post and post it here in one big dump.


Be prepared.
