Skeleton Outline Finally!

 

     Meet Barbra, my figure drawing friend. It felt like Halloween as I was sitting there for a little over five hrs studying the correct proportions of a skeleton. I managed to finish around 1:30am. With the outline finished I'm now about 1/3 the way done with my all semester drawing assignment. So, there will be plenty more skeleton drawings  to come. I wish the photo would've been a little bit better. However I used vine charcoal and a lot of the lines were really soft.

Caricature Of Me

      Today I thought I'd add a piece of  someone else's work, mainly as I didn't have time to add one of my own. As I passed by one of the buildings at school I noticed they were giving away free caricature sketches; with in five min I was walking away with sketch in hand. I was very surprised how good the sketch was for such a limited amount of time.

     On a side note today in figure drawing class we were drawing feet; not an easy task. I hope to have that drawing along with my skeleton drawing posted soon.

Letters

 

      A letter alone doesn't have much meaning, but put just a few together and it can be very meaningful. The photos above also show just a little into my life. The bottom photo the M is part of the stairs at the lake, which many of you know is how I've spent a good chunk of my summer for as long as I can remember. Along with taking photos that made the letters of my name I made a whole series of letters to make many words. The idea was inspired by a project I had in high school.

     So today I know I didn't add photos from my sketchbook. I assure you there will be plenty more of my drawings posted. Currently I have a project due of a skeleton and I'm sure there will be photos of this project soon.

Sketch Book ( Gesture W/ Sightlines)

     Another gesture assignment for my sketchbook. There was a series of four like this one.This is one of my first drawings in charcol and it's evident that I'm still getting use to it. I found it really funny that in my series of drawings they  usually graudually get better. By the end I could see which order I had drawn them in because they progressively got better.

Sketch Book (Gesture Drawing)

     This is the Start of my Sketch Book. For drawing class we were required to do a motion series of gesture drawings; these are two from the series. As evident in the drawings it is a new concept for me do gesture drawings. I was also lucky to have an amazing model. Anyone who really likes gestue drawing or animation should really research Walt Stanchfield (an amazing artist who I was required to research for class).

Just A Start

As we all know things in this world happen too fast. So I'm starting this blog to keep everyone informed. My plan is to keep an online protfolio of my work and to let everyone know the key events going on in my life. For those of you who might not know I'm currently on my forth yr of college; currently attending MSUM and my major is art education. At this time the only art class I'm taking is drawing, so for a while their will probably only be a lot of drawings. I hope you all enjoy this blog.
