Old Drawings

Here are the drawings, as promised.
This first one is from before christmas. The assignment was to draw hands and feet so I spelt my name in sign language, and drew my feet.

These other three are from figure drawing this semester.

Old Paintings

I finally brought home all the work that had been accumulating in my locker. Today I'll post the paintings and tomorrow the drawing.
(I am really happy with these fruit ones. We were supposed to paint them once normally, rearrange them, and paint them again using clear brush strokes instead of blending.)
(I really hate this last one but for some reason I decided to post it anyway.)

Black and White

Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront. Seeing him in this and A Streetcar Named Desire has completely altered my image of him. Personally, I prefer my new image to the old one created by The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.
As many of you know, I am attempting to fill myself in on the film classics. I started with a list of 250 films and I've been steadily working my way through it. It is great to have a goal because I would probably never get around to watching these old gems otherwise.

The Steed

It's fun making a ground. Messy, though.
This is part one of a three part assignment.

6 Drawings




Six drawings of small objects for drawing class. Some better than others.

Remember that self portrait I made a while ago? Well here it is. I got tired of having it staring at me so I squashed. Funny thing is I kind of like it more now.

Textured Shoes



This assignment was to draw a pile of at least five shoes and render the surface of each shoe as a different texture using either real life textures or photographs as reference. I am proud of my honeycomb cowboy boot.
