Colour Reduction Printmaking Assignment | Ronald Mcwongald

September 18, 2022 - November 2022

Inspired by John dies at the end. What David Wong, resident non-chinese protagonist, saw in the window of a Mcwongalds on a normal Tuesday morning.

Gr12 assignment where we could either choose this or a still life/realistic pencil drawing of a 'terrible beauty.' We got to choose between these two because there's just not enough time to do all of these assignments in a semester, and we've done still lives all 3 previous years. All the people who chose still life are cucks.

I don't have the linoblock anymore 😭😭. I forgot to steal it when I took all my artworks home and when I sent my friend to get it for me the next year they didn't have it ??!??!?!?! It must be in that art room somewhere rahh

Lining up the prints was soo hard. Especially for the last layer because there was so little material left on the block that it would really easily shift around. I was smart by picking this subject, though. Any extra red smears just add to the blood, and whenever they don't line up it just makes it more distorted and fucked up 💀😏

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS- Don't look too closely at this illustration if you haven't seen the first season and movie of made in abyss.⚠️⚠️

Made in abyss illustration I made. I mainly worked on this during lectures when they were going over content I already knew ✨

I wanted to take a stab at doing the whole grayscale painting thing before adding colours for once. I think this was a pretty metal way to test that technique out 💀. complicated ass drawing right here

The problem I had with doing the colour layer is that it took a while for me to find something that would look like the right colour. Most colours were fine, but browns were really annoying in particular (they often showed up as bright oranges xd). It also took some finagling to make the shading look good (as in not shaded by pure black), but i got the hang of it. Honestly it was pretty fun using different colours to make the shading look better 😌

I basically painted everything on a single layer (it was divided between foreground (all the characters) and the background sections). yeah, I prolly could have done it in a much more efficient manner, but I had fun so it don't matter.

Really like how it turned out overall (they're so cute but the story is so fucked up it's all so fucked up) and the plan is to make posters out of this bad boy >:)))

Annoying ass watermarks are back because fuck you get away from my hard work!!!

Painting Assignment

November 18, 2021 - December 16, 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to paint something that has a meaning.

I'm gonna yap about my thoughts on this.

I hate it when teachers/people start developing this notion that every piece of art needs to have a meaning. I get that that's why a lot of people do art (whether to convey a message or just vent an emotion), but once it's forced it's no longer an outlet. I like doing art because I do. And if it has a meaning to me, that's for me to know. Everyone has their own experiences that vary their interpretations, which leads to people seeing stories that you may not have intended (which is fine). But I don't see the reason for chastising the artist if you don't see a meaning to their work.

Idk, I just feel that once you force an artist to make art that has a meaning, you're taking away the freeing aspect of art. With art, you're the one in control of what you create and the messages you send, but once it's forced it defeats the purpose.

Anyways,,, I needed to paint something that has a meaning, which i really didn't feel like doing. The way around this was to paint something that has so many fucked up aspects that most people would think this says so much about society. Dead animals? check. fucken,, fire? check. impossble perspective?? you love it babyeee

I had fun painting this piece, but it did take me a bit to get over my angery about me having to have a meaning. I eventually leaned into thinking how funny it was that peoplewld think this says so much about society when I was just dickin around.

(also this assignment had a written portion where you have to explain the meaning, but I never did that 🤠👍)

The Art Proposal | 2/3

December 1-30, 2022

This was supposed to be a themed trilogy, but I, like always, did not really have a theme in mind. I was kind of going for 'where art and technology/science meet' but it was really shoehorned. This was going to be a beautiful piece symbolizing medicine w elements of the staff of asclepius w the snake and her arm.

Making this was really, really annoying. I hadn't done a multi canvas piece since the cardinal (which was five years prior) so the idea was I go all out for this one (bad idea, never got finished). I did really like the style and the overall composition of the piece, but there's a 0.00001% chance I ever go back to this because of how big of a task it'd be.

First of all, making the wooden frame just to hold the canvases in the right position was terrible. I made the spacing smaller because I didn't want to lose details, but because it was so thin it broke 24/7. Don't even talk to me about the nailing/gluing process.... horrible.

Painting it was also a feat, because it took up so much space and I had to dance around the pieces constantly.

I got it to a place where it was finished enough, and then I was done with it.

(also I changed the position of the legs in the painting to make it more anatomically correct, but it ruined the silhouette)

The canvases still exist in my house, but the frame is long gone.
