WHITE ON BLACK SELF PORTRAIT

This is my white on black self portrait. I am not too happy with this image, but I tried really hard to make the proportions correct. I feel I am getting better with drawing people and I realize that practice makes perfect.

Pencil Box Project

Create a place to house pencils. Concentrate on the craft of your project.
I wanted to exemplify my love for the city. I love cityscapes and have always dreamed of living in a large city, with lots of busy people. This project was to remind me of my love of design and the art behind it.
This is my first iteration of my project, it was made out of clumsy cardboard.

This is my second iteration, it was made out of gray mat board, the windows were too large and the glue was on the side, Suzanne also suggested I add a ledge to add depth.

This is my third iteration, the gluing job was really sloppy, so I decided to redo the project a fourth time.

These are all of my iterations that lead me to my final project.









Final Project.

Profile Sketches

This was my third sketch, it was again of Lindsey. I drew her in English class. I feel this one was better than the first drawing, but I still believe my second drawing was the most accurate.

This is the second sketch I made of my roomate Michelle.As you can see the proportions in this drawing are more accurate, but I was a little upset with the nose, because her nose is quite distinctive and you can not tell from this drawing, also her lips were upsetting me. As my high school art teacher used to call them, "sticker lips". Overall I liked this sketch the best.

This is the first sketch I drew. It is of Lindsey in class. On September 13th. I was a little upset with this drawing, but it was a good learning experience, she looks heavier in the face than she does in real life.

Egg Project

These are all photographs of the "Birdhouse" I made for the paper project. The project assignment was to build a place to store an egg, the exemplifies a quality of the egg using only paper. I made my project strictly out of cardboard. When you open up the top of the house you will see a nest that houses the egg. This exemplifies an egg at the most common place it is found. It shows how fragile and nurtured an egg actually is.

These are the examples of my first iterations for the egg project.

This is my second "final" iteration, I changed the design slightly to add strength.

These are all of my iterations.

Practicing Scales

In this sketch I drew Kelly's desk in proportion to the rest of the room. I felt completely engaged in the practice and I loved having that time to draw, I also really enjoyed the outcome of this sketch probably due to my experience in drawing this piece.

People Contours

This post was just a start on two different figure's heads. I wanted to practice the proportion a little before I was too committed.


This was my first and second drawing of the day, they were not the best, but as you can see I progressively got a little better each time. Ben is on the right and I drew him first and Krista is on the left I drew her the next day.



This is my favorite drawing for this project. It was taken at the studio. It is Jayson at his computer desk. He stayed very still so it was easy to draw. I really enjoyed this sketch, but yet again his legs seem a little too small compared to the rest of the bodies ratio.


This is one of my Last Drawings. It is of my room mate Michelle on her desk in our room. I was happy with her body proportion, but her hands appear to be a little too small.

Upside down Bicycle

This sketch was drawn in class when we had to sketch an upside down bicycle. I think I added too much detail in the wheel rods and other areas, which did not work to my advantage time wise.

Building

This sketch was drawn in the same visitor's spot, but I was looking directly accross the street instead of down the street. It looked like an older house that was ready for someone to move in. I enjoyed drawing this piece, but yet again I think I added too much detail.

Tower

This sketch was drawn across from the local Greensboro Visitor Center. It was one of the biggest buildings in the city. I think I added too much detail, but for the most part it was not a bad effort.

Foust Building

This is my first drawing of the day and my First attempt to draw the Foust Building.


This is my second sketch of the Foust Building. I have to say I wish I would have added the lamp post in the second time as well. But I do enjoy this drawing more for the most part. I feel it looks more realistic and the edges are cleaner.

By the Science Building

This drawing was my third of the day. It was across the street of the science building. It appeared to be an older looking house. I did not have enough time to finish this sketch.

Tate & Edgar Street Rooftop Sketch

This was the second sketch I drew on Thursday afternoon. It was on the Roof of a Parking Garage over looking Tate Street at a Building Across the street.

Upside Down Man

ABOVE this is the upside down sketch I drew of the BOTTOM upside down drawing.

Neighbor's Foot

This was a sketch of Lindsey's foot on the first or second day of classes.

Egg Projects

These are the sketches I made of other egg projects in my class.

This is a sample of my first ideas for my egg project, as the project went on I did not make anything similiar to any of these.

Negative Space Assignment

This sketch was based off of a Negative space assignment. The instructions were to look at an object through the negative space surrounding it. These two sketches were drawn by looking at the outline of an object rather than the actual object. The first sketch was from enlarged letter Lindsey and I both have, and the second sketch was based off of one of Jayson's egg project trials. This next sketch was an example of two desk chairs that we had in the studio. The first was on a side view and the second was a head on shot with a blanket over the top part of the chair.This was an example of a piece of my artwork from last week. The assignment was to make a blind contour of your hand. I have to say I was slightly disappointed that mine turned out looking nothing like a hand, but I have to say at least it is unique.
