Embark on an inspiring artistic journey through the "Space in Graphics" course offered by the renowned "Nabroski" studio. As I progressed through this transformative program, I had the opportunity to create a captivating series of artworks using a variety of materials, including pencils, pastels, watercolors, ink, and acrylic.
Under the expert guidance of the studio's instructors, I delved into the exploration of space in art, pushing the boundaries of my creative expression. Each artwork in the series became a unique blend of techniques and mediums, allowing me to capture the depth, dimensionality, and essence of space.
Throughout the course, I acquired invaluable skills and techniques, honing my ability to convey spatial concepts through the interplay of lines, textures, colors, and compositions. It was a truly immersive experience that expanded my artistic horizons and unleashed my creative potential.
These two artworks were created during the first session of the course. The assignment was to explore the different characteristics of lines, leading to the use of ink for the piece on the left and colored pencils for the second one.
This sketch sheets were created both from observation and my own photographs taken in a mirror. Here, I also focused on working with lines.
These two artworks were created while I was working on tonal values. I utilized pencils, watercolors, and a liner to achieve the desired effects. On the second artwork, I aimed to emphasize the dynamic interplay of forms by using watercolors and drawing. I added "dancing" brushstrokes to accentuate the rhythmic movement.
The two works shown above were created during a single session on the topic of organizing space using flat tonal patches.
Through this work, I gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between figure and format, emphasizing the emotional state by choosing the pose of the figure.
In this work, I aimed to explore the use of watercolor washes and manual illustration techniques.
The two works shown above were created based on a well-known reference and both were done using ink, but with varying degrees of detail and use of tonal patches.
The two works were created with different purposes in mind. In the first one, I aimed to connect the watercolor figure with its graphic extension, while in the second one, I drew inspiration from linocuts and wanted to work with a dark, minimalist background.
These works were inspired by Japanese graphics, with their fragmentary nature and emphasis on tonal patches and colors.
The two abstract pieces were created during the session. Here, I aimed to convey the sensations from the reference image without figurative representation, exploring different color schemes.
This abstraction is executed using elements from the reference image in a chaotic manner, incorporating them in a random arrangement.
This drawing turned out to be tactile and corporeal, resembling a living organism, combining abstract elements with recognizable shapes that emerged during the creative process.
In this artwork, the figure is rendered in a more illustrative manner, but from an unexpected perspective. Its surroundings accentuate a sense of "transformational" state.
An abstract and minimalist depiction of nature, created using colored pencils on a white sheet.
In this artwork, a girl is depicted lying beneath the trunk of a tree, but her face remains unseen as we observe only her back and limbs. The figure itself is rendered in black and white, while the surrounding environment is highlighted with green watercolor.

I am delighted that this course has provided me with a wealth of inspiration and practical skills. It was fascinating for me to explore my understanding of space in my artwork, using traditional materials. I would appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to view my works.
