My 2D Art Projects

My relationship with drawing and painting as a form of self expression is one of the more stable ones. I can confidently say I've been drawing ever since I was able to hald crayons. We have a lot of good history together. I'm used to drawing my ideas first and then make them take form in reality. Since it's one of my oldest outlets of self expression, I had a lot of pieces to choose from for this archive. I chose the pieces that best highlight my current artistic standpoint. This also means I had to skip almost %90 of my previous work since this portfolio wouldn't be ideal if it had that many images.

​

The projects are in chronological order from newest to oldest

"Sun-Up Cruiser"

This drawing was made for the car design I worked on in the PCAE Car and Motorcycle Design course. I called it the Sun-Up Cruiser. It has some alluring parabolic lines and LED lights in the side and rear cavities. The lines create a sort of illusion and make the vehicle look slim and sleek, even though it has a lot of storage and traveling space.

Planning the Snow Boots and the Smart Garment

These plan papers are for my Snow Boots and Smart Garment project that I won Second Place in the Physical Sciences branch of the TÜBİTAK High School Antarctic Research Projects Competition. I color coded the materials and planned where certain technological propherties will be added to.

Planning of Vesta

These are the plan papers for one of my recent SpaceApps projects, Vesta. I give importance to constructing these plan papers because they will hold great importance in my future line of work. It's important to present the ideas I create as well as actually developing them. These drawings are of the potential furniture and logo design of this project.

"Apple of my Eye"

This is a watercolor piece I made and used as a social media profile picture in September 2022. I had recently taken close-up pictures of my eye so I wanted to illustrate that. My interest in eyes is probably what drew me to execute this idea. I ended up using this piece as my profile picture for about 6 months.

Cardpostal Designs

I made these watercolor paintings during the PCAE Graphic Design course. My assignment was to create two contrasting cardpostals with the same image. It was during the camping trip I was taking with my family, so the first one I drew was our RW and car. Then, I picked two other unrelated themes and illustrated those.

"Tomorrow may be too late"

This piece was created under the guidence of my high school. There are many people who worked on it, since it was a collaboration project with our

sister school's students. 6 people

from our school (me included) worked

with around 7-8 special needs student

to compelete this painting project that

highlights climate change. It's drastically

different from my previous project

because of it's size and that is very

intrigueing to me.

"Howl and Sophie"

This painting is of Ghibli Studio characters Howl and Sophie at the end of their movie Howl's Moving Castle. The canvas I used for this piece is almost the size of a hand, so this makes an interesting decor. This was basically to highlight how that movie ended and the lovely relationship between these two characters.

"Hand of an Artist"

This is a digital piece I made and used as a social media profile picture in May 2022. The concept was how I always use my hands while creating art. So I rendered a picture of my hand as if it had tools on it's fingertips. I think it's an interesting piece that sums up how I usually create art.

Watercolor Pieces #3

I painted nature based scenes with water/lakes involved. I tried to make realistic tree reflections and use most green shades in all pieces. I also tried layering with the shadows and details based on soil and weed.

"Watercolor Eyes"

This piece is of a cinematic shot of a character from the show Euphoria. In my opinion, even though the story of the show doesn't really match my taste, the cinematography is gorgeous. So I worked on this aesthethic scene which has a bitter-sweet feeling to it.

"Shedding Light"

This is a digital piece I made and used as a social media profile picture in January 2022. I was really interested in grainy old oil painting then so with those as my inspiration, I pictured myself as the subject. I used some old-timey referances, one of my actual pictures as a base and endlessly stroked my phone screen with my finger. The result is pretty satisfying in my opinion.

Watercolor Pieces #2

ı tried constructing detailed sceneries with these pieces using warm pink-red-magenta tones. To me some of the best sights to see are big fields and trees full of colorful flowers and pink fluffy clouds so I painted those in these pieces.

Watercolor Pieces #1

I made these pieces to practice drawing water and how it moves. I think drawing water and liquids using a water-based paint is really interesting and something worth dwelling over, so that's what I did with these pieces.

Sketches

These sketches are basically what came to my mind during the pandemic. I had a lot of scenarios, characters, situations in my head so I tried to put them on paper to preserve them. This period of time was a big part of my self-expression journey.

"Flying Away"

During the making of this piece, I was under a lot of stress. It was the start of the pandemic back then and being 14, I didn't know how to handle that. So i confided in my art. I had just learned about Banksy and his piece "Gril with Baloon" so I pictured escaping the chaos I was in, using one myself.

03

"Snowing under Northern Lights"

In this piece, I wanted to recreate a scenery I saw in a documentary once. It's a really interesting perspective shot, with the snow almost hitting directly to the camera. I tried to capture the emotion and beauty of the scene

"Swinging in the Sunset"

In this painting, I worked with sunset imagery and feeling both the sense of calmness and danger at the same time. The subject of the painting is clearly in danger of falling down but this doesn't bother them. This theme along with dissolving colors in the background is very prominent in my early work.

"Tear it Apart"

I made this piece back when I was in 8th grade, which was a very stressful time of my life. In fact, I made this in school during recess with the ink I extracted out of my markers. I wanted to express the trapped feeling I had and how I wanted to "unleash" my creativity.
