Werewolf Studies
Various paintings and 3D art pieces I created around 2 years ago during my Art GCSEs. The theme I chose to explore was initially superstitions, which then evolved into werewolves.
As a result, I performed various studies of them via both paints and sculpture work of various kinds, and these are some of my favourite examples.
A cardboard wolf head, created to experiment with the medium.
On account of its complexity and literal lack of flexibility, it was a lengthy process - especially on account of my inexperience using it.
An alternate angle for the head.
Another alternate angle.
An oil painting I created of a werewolf, utilising a reference image found via Google.
Red was used as the background to contrast with all the blue of its fur. I am particularly proud of this piece.
A collage piece I created, utilising the primary theme of werewolves. Various images were utilised in its creation, alongside a book based around werewolves - just to really seal the deal!
A slightly different perspective, having the book resting upwards this time. The design was intended to still be legible and appealing even when the book itself was only slightly opened.
A wooden wolf's head, cut via a laser cutter owned by my aunt. The process involved adapting a stock wolf image into an appropriate vector piece, then running that vector through the cutter to have it cut the various shapes needed into wood.
An alternate angle.
Acrylics were used to paint the wood, and it was pieced together in multiple layers to provide a 'pop-out' 3D effect.
A wolf face painting created for my final exam, made with oil paints. The work was created using the same base-image as the one used for my laser-carved woodwork.
Due to the time limit of the final exam, I did not have time to colour the background.
A werewolf bust sculpture created in somewhere between 7-8 hours during my final GCSE Art examination.
It was painted with acrylic paint, and various small details - such as teeth - had to be neglected on account of a lack of art department resources.
