got a bit busy with things but here is another couple hours work.
messing around and trying out colours, composition, etc. not committing to too much at this stage.

Progress

hey all, knocked out a bit more on this today, had to work sun/mon.

top is after acrylic wash, bottom is before.

Going to work into the wash now and add the foreground elements- she is summoning some flowers that will be coming out of the barren soil!

Today

Just got around to starting a new drawing today. Yesterday's efforts were a TOTAL abortion, just had a shocking day and started about 4 new works, none of which worked and were all subsequently scrapped.
finally got to a good rhythm today, and managed to salvage what would have been a wasted weekend.
gotta work tomorrow, bummer!!

And body in progress, just tweaking the theme of the last one into a slightly different direction- she will be manifesting some 'flowers' coming out of that dirt in the final.





Head- spent some time fixing it up and making some improvments, unifying elements and strengthening with more acrylics + rendering.

Technofetishism

well this is a new drawing, based on a few ideas about merging nanotechnology with neuroscience to create this organic entity, a large global synchronised mind, that is connected to everything or something like that... i want to try and explore this in sort of a symbolic way, trying to fuse organic forms with technological synthetic forms and see what happens. I hope I will have time to refine this one before our group exhibition in june this year.

Segments

Firstly here is a work in progress, did this once I got home from work. Can't wait to get this one finished- I am really happy with the ideas and their subsequent manifestation in visual and metaphorical form, which I will explain once it's done. For now though, I will only post up a segement, the nude figure.
The second image is just an experiment with coloured pencils.
