Presents

This an ink and water colour drawing I did for my friend a few weeks ago. Was really happy with the result and think she liked it a swell which was nice. I posted this on my art instagram (@artbyghayes). I haven't been able to do much recently as I have been in the school musical and I have just had my wisdom teeth removed so I am out for the rest of the week.

Mermaids

This drawing was relatively quick as it only took me about an hour to complete. I deliberately made the face distorted as I liked the idea of having the mermaid slightly disfigured.  

Lightbulbs

This was a relatively quick drawing I did last night. I started it in my art class and then finished it a few hours later. In total it took around three hours. I was quite happy with the result and posted a progress photo to my new instagram (@artbyghayes)

Market Adventures

I finally went to the market on Saturday which i was really excited about. I set up a little stall at St Andrews and was freezing for hours but it was worth it because I sold some artwork and got alot of experience and learned about a few more markets i am going to go to when it gets a bit warmer. I want to go again but I am going to get some new print made and I will be posting photos of the ones I will be selling.
I have just created an instagram for my art and it is called @artbyghayes and i will be posting a mix of photos on this website and some upcoming projects. 

Kahl Drogo

Thought I would post this as I haven't posted too much in a while. I have been working on Kahl Drogo from game of thrones in my art class and this is where I currently am at. I have been working on this for a lot of term 2 but next week I am starting a painting in art as I wanted to do something different. I am quite happy with how its going as I have never drawn a body before that is supposed to be accurate. There is still quite a way to go in this but I look forward to finishing it. 

City Cranes

Was quite happy with this drawing and actually finished not too long ago. I bought my first set of water colour paints today and was quite excited. When I got home I spent the next hour or so experimenting,
On Monday I will be making some prints to sell at St. Andrews market in a few weeks and I am really excited.

Peace

This is one I did a while ago, I think it was around the same time as the swan I drew. This didn't take too long and was happy with the out come for a little doodle.

I have bought the rights to this website and am setting it up  currently am I am very excited about it. 

Upcoming Cranes

This is a drawing I am currently working on. There will be paper cranes above it and a red/ pink water-colour through it much like the doughnut and the paper cranes.
I am about to buy the rights to this website and am really excited about it and in a few weeks I'll be selling my art at a local market which i can't wait for. I will be selling prints for around 10-15 dollars depending on the size and whether it's colour or not.

Ruined Picnic

I drew this yesterday before my art class because I had an hour to burn and i was sitting at my mums work so I decided to do a drawing and this was the result.

Paper Cranes

I drew this last night and was really happy with the result. I got my inspiration from a close friend who, a while back, told me about a tattoo she wanted of a gold paper crane which I thought would be really cute. Took only a couple of hours but i struggled to finish it as my shoulder is still having problems. I have been asked to draw another on with pink instead of blue by the same close friend.

Joker

Newest drawing and first full realistic fine liner. Went to an art shop on Saturday and bought a folio and fine liner which i spent 15 minutes trying to pick the perfect one. i started this as soon as i got home. took around 7 or 8 hours to finish. was really happy with the result  as i used up my fine liner all in this drawing.

Skull and Flowers

This drawing took a while as i had to sketch it all out in pencil first then go over in fine liner and then colour but i am really happy with the result. 

Hearts

So following on from my last post, i decided to draw a proper one with coloured pencils, i've never done a drawing in colour so this a weird change

Graffiti Alleys

thought i'd post a photo of myself for a change. this is from a little while ago when i was starting to get into proper art not just little things here and there. they are the graffiti alleys in melbourne in the city and are absolutely amazing to look at because there are so many different types of artwork even on one street.

Hold ups

Haven't been able to draw properly for a while as i have injured my shoulder due to drawing too much. all of the muscles in my neck sand around my shoulder are strained and i was unable to make anymore progress on any of my work. i am still attempting my Dylan O'Brien picture for a close friend for her birthday but due to my shoulder and the fact it was the 19th of April it may be a bit late.

Native American Girl II start

Start of a new native american girl i began in my art class

Zen-tangle Swan

just finished this for my great grandma took around an hour to do. 

World Map

world map. got this inspiration from elle wills as she did one with roses so i decided to do a zentangle style map.

Upcoming works

have a few upcoming projects and presents in the works. drawing a swan for my great grandma and native american head-dress and zen-tangle style elephant for a close friend from my school. i am also learning how to draw more real looking images in my art class and am drawing Dylan O'brien for another good friend in my class.

Native American Girl

Did this one a while back, it was one of my first tries at a native american head-dress. posted this because my good friend said she wanted a native american head-dress for her birthday and i showed her this website she said i should post it.

Zen-tangle Elephant

Drew this mid 2014. actually showed a family friend and she asked for one like it in colour which was s great confidence boost. this drawing was one of my first elephants and i've loved drawing them since

Zen-tangle Hand

This is one of my newest and is a zen-tangle of my own hand. took around three or four hours of sitting on my bed but was quite happy with the outcome.

Beginnings

I decided to start this as i would like to show others my art.
The most common type of art i draw is zentangle which consists mainly of patterns inside a shape.
I am taking art classes every Monday and am currently learning how to draw more real images.
