Description This is the last work from this term's Traditional Printing classes. It's an illustration for Leopold Staff's Przychodzi do mnie noca [='She comes to me during the night] which you can read here . Unfortunately I couldn't find an English translation.

This offset was made of 5 layers, each of different colour (even if you can't see them here) and the whole picture is almost 100x50 cm. I really like it but my teachers hate it. And what do you think? :3

offset on brown paper + a lot of coffee + help of my

Technically there are many things to this image that could make it a stronger piece, which your teacher might have pointed out, its got nothing to do with the style.

actualy, my teacher is a type of teacher who never tells you how you can improve your work but how you can make your style like his own :] so he's rather no help

maybe the teacher hated it because the girl looks a bit anime style?
well I like it and I know how hard is to make 5 layers lithographie, so congrats

maybe you're right... it's hard to totally forget about one's manga-styled past

Yuujin In reply to Adelaida [2008-09-16 19:13:40 +0000 UTC]

me too, all my teachers and classmates says that I ruined my own style a bit because I like manga so much. but I don't think that's fair. you draw what you like and there is no such thing as rules in art

Your style is loveable o_o
I don't see how could your teachers hate it ._. Maybe it's one of those things you must hate or love

I think it is a great piece I can't imagine why your teachers didn't like it

You and Mr. Staff are reffering to "Mara", the creature that causes nightmares, right? if so, I think your vision is very accurate and interesting ^_^

Adelaida In reply to Sir-Pumpkinhead [2008-09-16 17:01:36 +0000 UTC]

Yes, when I was wondering how to name that piece I've decided to choose 'mara' as a somehow synonim of the word 'dream' since the poem is about dreams

Sir-Pumpkinhead In reply to Adelaida [2008-09-20 16:48:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see I thought mara was only for nightmares, it's nice to know it can also mean dream

A czemu psorowi/psorce sie nie podoba?:> Mnie bardzo przypadlo do gustu choc przynam, ze wiedzy mi brakuje i nie wiem czym jest litografia;/ Ciekawe zaburzenie proporcji. Jak dla mnie bardzo ciekawa interpretacja.

Profesor ma swoje wydumane wymagania, z ktorych najwazniejszym jest zeby tworzyc to co on (trojkaty, kwadraty...).

a technika to offset, ale nie ma takiej kategorii na devie

I think the shear detail in this is awesome. Looks like it took some work. Why did your teachers hate it? Is it execution or style that they didn't like?

Adelaida In reply to gimpPAC [2008-09-16 17:11:16 +0000 UTC]

I think that the teacher is a bit bored with my style, maybe... he's not a good talker so I don't quite know what's wrong

I love it

The twist of her body is unusual, but to me that adds to the surrealism of the piece.

evanjensen [2008-07-13 23:51:34 +0000 UTC]

I like the image a lot, but feel like there are too many jarring styles of line/color here. And the colors themselves don't feel cohesive.

I understand what you mean and I'll try to fix this style problem during this upcoming term

Why do they hate it? Is it the disproportionate body? The general style? Or are they just jealous?
