ABOUT MYSELF

Hi my name is Luis Ngchong Jr I am a artist from Miami Florida in the United States. I was born, in New York city in the Bronx. I am from Dominican latino background.  I discovered I could draw, ever since 6 years old.  I took, many art classes in school all the way through college. I went to the high school of the performing art ,and music and art in N.Y.C. I also was a student of  the North Light Art School that I got, a certificate of the fundamentals of art.

 

 

MY STYLE

My style is based on realistic and/or fantasy comic booky art style. I used ,to want to get into comics ,but wasn't succesful with it. So I decided to get into fine art ,and took the style and what ever methods  from comics to fine art.  

 

MEDIA I WORK WITH

I work in pencil, pen and ink, color markers, watercolor, watercolor and ink and oil. 

 

THE SUBJECTS I CREATE

 I create subjects like Landscapes portraits still life s, animals, flowers, nudes, figures, sports etc.

 

OTHER INTERESTS IN ART

 I like to get into comic books, children books, greeting cards, magazine work, any thing dealing with art drawing  and painting.

 

MY PROCESS OF CREATING ART

 When I start creating, artwork it doesn't matter what subject. But it depends what media I am using.  For example, When I start a drawing I usually will renstate the drawing sketching it out until I am satisfied what I have created,  and add texture light and shadow .  When ,  a pen and ink is created I first use a pencil work on it until I finish it. Then after that I press down on the pencil to create a line pencil drawing. then I erase the drawing then apply the inks.  When I use the markers first I will use a pencil draw it then erase the pencil mark will be there lightly enough for me to go color it. Then I use a black India ink pen to do the out line.  For the watercolors I use the pencil first then I apply the watercolors second. I use the wet and dry technique when I paint. The first thing I will do is use a flat wash (first value). Then  paint the second value on what ever side of the subject that will be the shaded part of the painting. and also a third or many values I feel it needs to be painted for the light source.   Ffor the watercolor ink paintings I use the same method like the other medias the pencil first second watercolor, third the inks which I draw over the watercolors.  The oil painting process is just like the medias then after I finish the pencils the second  I use a under painting on the piece. Then I start painting the image in sections to light and dark but will smooth out the se4ctions of each value. I do use the both wet and dry or wet on wet techniques it depends what I what to do it.
