"At Semester's End"

I can honestly say that i feel i could have done much better if i actually looked at the syllabus and the blog more often. Not doing this made me not fully understand outside assignments and either do something wrong or not have it on the day it was supposed to be turned in. I still feel with these problems I've done an exceptional job this semester. It's funny how Cole said that it seems like people do better on outside assignments than in class assignments, but for me i feel it was the opposite. Over this semester i have learned a lot of essential techniques that I thought I knew, but this class made me realize otherwise.

Pencil, Charcoal, or conte: what is your medium of choice? why?

I am team charcoal all the way. I feel that charcoal creates a high contrast with how dark the lines can get giving it a dynamic look. When I use pencils all I can really focus on is the glossy silver look that it gives. Conte gives you too many rules. keeping it sharpened is my least favorite part.

Im so NOT Blind

I really had a fun time doing my blind contour self portraits. I was actually impressed of how it look though almost everything about the face was wrongly proportioned and sized. It was a nice exercise and I enjoyed my self.  

Im so Drape

I'm So Intuitive

Well, last week, we went over intuitive perspective. Ha. Pretty easy, in a way. The easy part is that you don,t have to technically follow a certain rule. The hard part is making sure that everything is looking right as a whole. If it doesn't, well, it's time to start over!

Well, on tuesday, we did one point perspectives. Yea..... that part was easy but, did he really have to bring the spheres in?! my spheres looked horrible. ha. well at least i have a compass now. hopefully we can use it. HINT HINT....

Slow Steps

Ha. Its funny when you feel you know everything about techniques of drawing except the most simple one. I had a little bit of a hard time when it came to plotting out my design for simple lines on paper. After i just got that down it became easy for me when it came to placement.
