First Week of Drawing

So this is an assignment we did in my drawing class a while back. First we put down a thin layer of black oil paint on a sheet of plexiglass, covered the plexiglass with a sheet of stonehenge, drew a blind contour of wilted sunflowers on the back of the stonehenge, and then the image transfers to the front of the page.
We were trying to get interesting line variations out of it. It was entertaining, but not my favorite thing to do.

The transfered drawing.

These next ones are just a few that I liked. We had to do this for 3 to 4 hrs as homework, so these are the best of the bunch, in my opinion. The last two have ghost images on them from pressing the paper back down after already using the paint on the glass to transfer an image. There's some nice detail that went through on the last one, especially.

and that's all I've photographed since the beginning of the term. haha. :)

START THE MACHINE

This was a nice break from all the technical stuff i've been having to do these past three weeks.

ah, creative liberties. :)

Random Selection of Figure Drawings from the Summer

Conte Crayon

- my new bipolar friend. sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't.

So this is the stuff from my figure drawing class. This is the first formal class I've taken for it, so it's been interesting. some of these were like 30 seconds and the others are around 20 minutes...obvious differences...

Final Animation

haha...so this is why i didn't get an A in the class. Boo for laziness.

so obviously a lot of frames are missing

and then it sucks even more because I gave up on trying to figure out how to make the hips look like they're coming backwards and forwards along with side to side...it was an issue. and I quit. haha.

The Experiment

so this is something I did to help out emily for her advertising class. she told me what she wanted in the boxes and asked me to make a story board for her commercial. I've never done one before, so it was an interesting experience. I think it turned out alright. haha.

it's supposed to be a gaterade commercial. the guy pulls off his skin and turns into an athlete while trying to catch a frisbee...trust me. it sounded ten times better when emily explained it.

Bored and Angsty. Woot.

So, I really like the song Breathe by Taylor Swift because to me it sounds like someone actually had the balls to write a song from the otherside of the fence, ya know? The break-up-er, rather than the break-up-ee. It's refreshing. And so... a tribute. Nothing special, it was designed to be part of my wall of craziness (my wall is covered with pictures, drawings, magazine clippings, whatever can be stuck on it with tape...)

I put all the lyrics of the song on it, that's what all those little lines are.

Haha, it got a little crooked at the end there, but oh well.
