In Progress work on the MTSeven13-14 Cross-section

Long Over Due Post

Here is my Illustration 2 portrait assignment. I love space and would love to be out in it some day. So why not do an editorial portrait displaying my dreams, imaginations, and inspirations.
I wasn't able to find the matted version of this assignment which had one more drawing in it plus the photo I went from, but these are from my characterization assignment where I took a picture of my face and used it to create at least three other unique characters from it.


The next few above are from characterizing live models into people and characters that they may not necessarily were. It was a lot of fun!
It has been awhile since my last post well,... because I've been equally busy and lazy. Here are some Heads and Hands 2 work I've been meaning to post up. Above is an aging assignment- so you can see what I look like when I'm older!

SPACE!!!

I'm putting this up before class (something I usually try to avoid), but life has been quite busy recently. I have much more stuff to post up, but that will come when I have the time. So for now, here is this: a paper bag illustration for a children's book store (geared more toward a boy) done in watercolor for Illustration 2 class. I had to go back on my original idea as the majority of the class and instructor turned it down, but that's life for you in the artworld. I had a lot of fun discovering how to make space with the naturalistic qualities of watercolor, salt, and rubbing alcohol. The size of the piece is about 11x20 or so? (I didn't really check- I just illustrated with no bounds this time, rare, but relaxing)

Back to school!

It has been awhile since I've last added as school has started back up! I will post more of my work once it has been graded and handed back to me hopefully by the end of this week. It's a busy semester so my posting may be sporadic. Anyway, here are drawings from Chris Canga's Quickstudies workshop. It has been a long time since I've drawn the nude figure (maybe a year and a half or so?). All of these were either 1 minute poses to 2's to 3 minutes. The bottom right is my most recent as I am trying to add color in the short amount of time. It's fun because of the challenge and how fast that I need to think. Being forced to think faster will help out for my Clothed Figure Drawing 3 class as I can evaluate more and draw more in a shorter time. Anyway, hope you enjoy and look forward to more to come this semester!

Gouache Study

When I was at my Mom's apartment during the break I had an opportunity to use some gouache and paint the view from the apartment window out onto the snow. The tough thing about painting this was how fast I had to paint it as the sky turned dark really fast. The image is a little blue due to a weird lamp in my apartment.
