about how my artwork going I finally finished it on time I was relieved when I finished my folio.
the upper 4 paintings, as you can see how sweet and loyal the couple is but it's not always about happiness.
the left and the right side of the 2nd folio is about the break up of the couple, as you can see the rips of the female and the male it shows that there falling apart and also about there separation. the middle of it is about how they get together and take things through, the last is painting is there happy ending between there relationship. the last really took me a while to paint because the paper is huge and I tried my best to do it well also spends the whole day of school just to finish the bits part. I used watercolour most of them, the huge one below I use acrylic paint actually I was about to use watercolour again and I was thinking to use another paint, it was a bit difficult using them because I don't use acrylic paint often. since there was no watercolour blue I decided to just use the acrylic paint well at least I tried.

Cosmic Girl (Eyes Open, Eyes Shut)
Size of Painting
68.8 x 49 cm. (27⅛ x 19¼ in.) (each)
Executed in 2008
This image is of an innocent girl pictured twice with her eyes open on the left and her eyes shut on the right. We can tell she is innocent because of the childlike nature of the painting. When you look at this, you are drawn to the image of the girl with her eyes open. This is because the artist has used contrast to highlight them with the simple composition and the dark eyes standing out against the white face.
The title, 'Cosmic Girl' makes us think about the galaxy and a cosmic world. When her eyes are open she is present in reality but when her eyes are closed we tend to think she is somewhere in her mind or imagination like a cosmic place.
Yoshimoto Nara was influenced by Manga and Anime style, large-eyed figures. Nara also makes a reference to other sources of inspiration that bound renaissance painting, contemporary literature, illustration, ukiyo-e and graffiti. He uses soft-hued and pastel-colours with a bold line like an Anime/Manga character. His use of contrasting image, colours, and emotion which behind of this cosmic girl shows about her innocence which of the painting has a light it has a good texture on it I think the whole thing has no dark shades. The back of the painting is just plain white it's not messy but below of the painting has a bit of a dark/greyish. The artist is only focusing on the girl, and I think the girl represented how innocent she is. Nara's 1980s childhood are key influences on naras stylized, large-eyed figures.
The mid-tone highlight below of the character has shadow and above features draw anime cartoons, is given the name “Cosmic Girl”. Painted with simple bold lines, primary colours, and set against the empty background, these small children and animals often share the canvas, text, knives, cardboard boxes, among the recurring elements.
Dry Media:
this is my 2nd artwork as you can see. my art teacher made me work on the sketching because I haven't done any dry media only wet media.
there's no meaning behind these drawings, just showing how I can do sketching which is easy for me because I'm used to it. the right side of the artwork is my original idea, I didnt copy any artwork from the internet because I'm not used to copying stuff except the left side of my artwork I tried my best to copy the vase and shapes from the internet well its nothing like it. making realistic sketch is a bit hard when you draw a whole person I usually just draw anime, I only know how to make real eye part I had fun making this stuff.
