Face in Shadow

2012-03-08T14:48:00.000-08:00

I like this drawing/painting, but I need to figure out how to frame/crop it better. To Photoshop!

Generation Gap

2012-03-06T07:05:00.000-08:00

A little in between project for class. The final is the one with the old man. The clock faces were my first idea, but I didn't like it. So, I changed it at the last second. Drawn by hand and colored in photoshop.

Monochromatic Portrait Painting

2012-03-05T09:15:00.001-08:00

Used a Richard Avedon photo of Ezra Pound as reference. Ugh! Still came out distorted. I need to work on proportions and more realistic drawings. Done in gouache.

Experimental Painting

2012-03-04T12:26:00.000-08:00

Done in class using different materials. I need to start holding my paper at an angle, or standing while I paint. Things are getting distorted.

Sorry for the long break... And now Typography

2012-02-29T12:22:00.002-08:00

It's been a long week of me not having enough time to draw anything, at least anything I want to show. I'm not going to make up for this week, but I will show some of my process work for my most recent project. We had to create a typeface. I started by playing around with drawing some letters, and chose the ones that are shown above. I used a calligraphy pen and a brush with ink to make the letters and a white gel pen to make the white outlines inside the letters. Once I got most of the letters figured out, I drew out the whole alphabet and scanned it into Photoshop. After some clean up, rearranging, and fine tuning you see the end result. I presented this in class and got some feedback. I may go back and do some more changes that people mentioned in the critique. But for now this is my typeface.

Mug Shot 2 Painting Exercise

2012-02-13T17:18:00.000-08:00

A little warm up painting I did in class today. Not very accurate but it has a vague resemblance to the photo reference.

Sketchbook Pages

2012-02-10T19:45:00.000-08:00

Some old sketchbook pages. I've got a lot of work to do so I might not be posting too often this week. The first drawings are based on photos from magazines. The other is from a photo in the book Anatomy for the Artist.

Medusa

National Geographic Woman

2012-02-07T19:22:00.001-08:00

Me practicing with Copic markers and ink. I found this picture on Google. My drawing is a bit off but this woman had a great face.

A Bird and A Mug Shot

2012-02-06T09:41:00.000-08:00

The first one is a painting exercise done in class. The other is me just doing what I do.

2012-01-13T12:00:00.000-08:00

Another flower drawing that went through photoshop again. I have a few variations on this, but I think I like this version best.

Clasped Hands

2012-01-12T19:57:00.000-08:00

Just a drawing from my drawing for illustrators class. I didn't do as much drawing last week as I thought I would.

Photoshop Practice

2012-01-11T16:07:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to get a handle on Photoshop and this is the result of me playing with a drawing of a flower I did a while back.

Flying Flowers

2012-01-10T01:13:00.000-08:00

Kind of a silly drawing, but I like it.

The Moon in Love

2012-01-09T00:31:00.001-08:00

Floating

2012-01-08T12:41:00.000-08:00

I didn't realized that the top was at an angle 'til I scanned it. That what you get for using scrap paper.

No, This Will Not Do

2012-01-07T00:41:00.000-08:00

A drawing to keep up the practice of drawing. I can be such a bag of lazy bones when it comes to my personal work. It is called No, This Will Not Do because that was what I wrote on the back of the paper from some previous thing. Hurray for saving scrap paper!

Abed with Wig

2012-01-06T11:18:00.000-08:00

I don't know if this counts as fan art but this is supposed to be the character Abed, played by Danny Pudi, in the show Community. It's from the spoof on Glee episode "Regional Holiday Music". Danny Pudi is just so skinny, and the wig is so big, I just had to draw him. I'm not that pleased with how it came out though. The figure is too stiff. And the wig isn't big enough....

Turtlenecks

2012-01-05T00:20:00.000-08:00

Another drawing based on a photo from the Fruits book. Yup.

Another Portrait, Alien Girl

2012-01-04T15:17:00.000-08:00

Once again from the book Fruits. This girl had a stuffed alien with her and that created the theme for the drawing.

Portrait from the book Fruits

2012-01-03T21:25:00.000-08:00

The book Fruits is a collection of photographs of Japanese street fashion. But I just wanted to draw the faces and test out my new water-brushes.

Sunflowers

2012-01-02T16:41:00.000-08:00

My mom's Christmas present. She didn't know what she wanted me to draw, so she said sunflowers. She got sunflowers.

Bon Iver

2012-01-01T20:51:00.000-08:00

My sister Erin's Christmas present. She wanted a combination of a picture of Bon Iver and an Avett Brothers poster. I also had to piece this together from four different scans and then use the magic wand and paint bucket to make it so there weren't any shadows. That is why the bird is two different shades of red, because I am not skilled enough to correct the shadows and still make it look like gouache.

The Dancer

2011-12-31T11:45:00.000-08:00

My sister Hannah's Christmas present. She wanted this pose and I made up the rest. Please note that if you see sudden differences between shading, that is because I had to scan this piece four different times because the only scanner I have access to is somewhat small and the piece is somewhat large. Though it came together well in photoshop there still are some differences and I am not skilled enough in photoshop to fix those.

The Stingray

2011-12-30T21:36:00.000-08:00

I drew Christmas presents for my family this year. This is my Dad's, and it's a car we saw at The Allure of the Automobile show at the art museum. He said it was his favorite of the show so I drew it for him.

Shot through the Heart

2011-12-29T13:35:00.000-08:00

Our model played dead for one pose. I thought I'd give her an interesting death.

Da Vinci Reinterpreted and A Model's Head

2011-12-24T14:40:00.000-08:00

Drawing from my Basic Drawing class last year. Sorry for the missed day, I've been busy making presents for my family. Also, since I'm on winter break, I have less access to scanners. So, there won't be as much recent work.

Oops, sorry for the weird cropping. I'll have to fix that later.....

Bottle, another old drawing

The End of Finals Week

2011-12-17T17:06:00.000-08:00

Finals week has ended so I'll try to start posting more regularly. A painting from class, a doodle, and a drawing from class.

Seeing Double

2011-12-14T10:06:00.000-08:00

This is my final for my Word and Image class. The theme was doppelgangers and I combined the evil and good twin and a wolf in sheep's clothing cliches. The evil twin is the wolf, the good twin is the sheep. And what do wolves do with sheep? Kill them, which is kind of the narrative part of the piece.

Once in a Lifetime

2011-12-13T09:44:00.000-08:00

My drawing final. The theme was once in a lifetime, and you only die once.

Oops one more....

2011-12-12T21:21:00.000-08:00

I'm so tired I forgot it's the twelfth! Here's today's drawing.

Finals Week

2011-12-12T21:18:00.000-08:00

Painting Model Detail

2011-12-02T13:10:00.000-08:00

This is a detail of a painting done in my painting class a while ago. It was a nude model session, and I don't want to offend someone by showing a nude body. But I think it turned out nice so if you would like to see the whole painting follow this link.
