Chapter Three - My own Research

Feltiriums

Cristina Toro Ulloa is a designer, fibres artist that lives in Coquimbo, Chile. Feltiriums is a name of a series of dolls made with felt needle. They were created as form of expression and each doll is unique and unrepeatable. The technique he uses is called felt needle to create sculpture in 3D from fleece fibres with aid of special needle. This needle has teeth that trap each fibre in it. These dolls are ego-friendly, having no toxic substances. I have added this to my research because I was look at ways I could make my character simpler. You can check out this Awesome Artist on www.feltiriums.com. 

To research my character I used a book called ‘Japanese Comickers’ which has loads of different artist work and how they make their art.

Hirofumi Fujiko

Her techniques are to use colours for the basic outline and uses Copic Markers and watercolour pencils to add tones and details. Her style is to be efficient and emphasize.  I like Hirofumi Fujiko simple style and soft shading.

Nanamirio

I love Nanamirio techniques in creating her artwork and that I feel it gives life paper. The technique is uses are Copic markers and refilling ink and her developed her own special way of using colourless blender. Her style is simple and she tells stories within her work. Also uses folklore to help her create interesting artwork.
