Getting Arty in Lockdown

#iDare Publishing Team • Jun 07, 2020

#iDareToGetArty

Some of the #iDare team have been taking video art lessons with Jamie, who is one of our youth workers as well as a real life artist (!), so we wated to show you some of the things they have been experimenting with and producing!

Emma joined late last year, and she LOVES doing arty stuff! She has created her own characters and makes cards and t-shirts, and can even make little felt animals! Here are some of the things Emma has been working on with Jamie.

PJ is our resident illustrator for the magazine, and he won the Best Graphics award at our awards cereminy in December '19 last year. Since being in lockdown, PJ has been honing his techniques so that he can produce more of his anime style drawings, and get closer to one of his interests, which is becoming a tattoo artist. He has been practicing his eyes technique, which is SUPER hard to get right!

Chloe has been pretty busy watching all of her favourite TV shows (as ever!) but she has also been throwing herself into her art as well. She has been practicing facial features with Jamie as well, and has also started to experiment with abstract landscapes.

Have a go at your own art - it can be GREAT for your hental health too!
