For my monthly submission I chose the theme of loneliness, and attempted to use procreate to encapsulate what that feeling is. It was also an experiment for me to try out the different tools in procreate (such as the different adjustment things, blending modes etc).

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well and that any Aoraki students do well on any October exams they have :D If you do have external exams, please don't feel any pressure to share art, I understand as an A2 student and exam veteran :)
This month I’m going to do something slightly different with the themes and have one overarching theme with points of focus to consider different facets of the main theme. This is just a trial run, so let me know how you would prefer the themes to be organized.
Anyway, the overall theme for this month will be; HARMONY AND DISHARMONY
You can choose to tackle this theme in of itself or use the following focus points to guide you!
Here are the different point of focus that you might consider in your art work:

So i chose to do Reflections. THis might not fit the theme that well but I had a vision and couldn't stop myself. Some art of one of my OC's, I realise once I finished everything, the proportions turned out slightly wonky, but whatever. This was lots of fun to do though:),
I really love the composition here!!!! The main character really stands out because you balanced the light and dark very nicely. Furthermore the colour look great together. My only suggestion might be to increase the opacity of the reflection as, from a glance, the reflection is a bit difficult to see. I also might suggest shifting the reflection slightly to the left possibly as it could make the piece a bit more balanced and add to the juxtaposition between the main character and the person that is reflected :D

Hi everyone, my name is Janna and I'm so glad to be part of the art club. I am currently in Year 12 and doing my AS levels; I live in Oxfordshire, UK and I love to take walks around the City Centre. It especially helps me for inspiration on whenever I would like to draw something relating to architecture!
I love sketching in pencil and am currently expanding into digital art and watercolour, and though I'm a very long way from it, I would love to start up woodwork or marble carving sometime with the needed resources! I'm so excited to be in the club, and I hope we will get along well!
Welcome to the art club Janna! I also like to paint my surrounding area even though it's probably not as interesting as a city centre 😅 It's a lot of green. Id love to see your drawings of the buildings in your area - I really love beautiful architecture. If you ever need any tips for watercolour I could maybe help you since that's my go-to medium. As for carving, I don't have much experience in that either but it seems really interesting - be careful though

Hello everyone,
I'll be hosting a Value and Tone practice drawing session on Friday the 3rd of October at 8pm NZT (8 am GMT+0) where I'll go over the importance of value in art and together we will practice drawing based on value :D
Here is the link: https://zoom.us/j/92197827945
Value refers to how light or dark something is in a picture and is a vital art prinicple. Focusing on value when drawing involves not geting bogged down in the fine details of what you are drawing but focusing on the bigger picture and the shape of highlights and shadows. Drawing based on value can help speed up your process and allow you to see an image from a different perspective. You can use this for almost any medium
This is a quick 10 minute practice value drawing I did so you can get an idea about what practicing this skill…

Hello! Just sharing this painting I did of some Kookaburras on my porch. The one on the right is called Hansi and the other one is nameless, but its one of Hansi's kids 😄 The camera quality of my phone is not that great so the colours look a bit off in the photo
Hi Sophie!
I love how the light is falling onto those two birds!! (And also the contrast of light and dark) About how long did you take to complete this drawing?

Hi, here's a piece I did for the loneliness theme.
The dark atmosphere of the piece is really interesting and nicely executed! I think the texture-like background really adds to the grungy look and the meaning (it sort of looks like the person is lost in the darkness of their loneliness - like in a forest at night)
