Experimentation

So, I got a water soluble graphite stick and what seems to be an aquaboard to test out from work. And here is the test. I don't know that I was meant to test them on each other, but I figured it might be neat.



You can still erase the grays and black back to the white of the board because it is graphite, and if you re-wet it you can easily rework it into something else. I am kind of a fan.

Blue!

Finished my monochromatic drawing yesterday. It is due tomorrow so I am glad I am not doing any all nighters to get it done. It is very....blue.



Our next drawing is a full color drawing, so I get to use ALL of my colored pencils, not just three of them. Joy!

Hooray!

So, one of the pieces I submitted to the gallery show was accepted. It is my stipple drawing from last semester. Cool stuff!

Monochromatic drawing

So, we are working on a monochromatic drawing in my drawing class right now and I am enjoying it pretty well. It is nice to work with color as it is not something I have done a lot of. Here are some images of my preliminary color scales and color study, and then a few of my final drawing as a work in progress.







I am also submitting two of my pieces to hopefully be chosen for a juried show at the Memorial Union. LINK for info!! I don't really have high expectations for anything to be accepted, but it doesn't hurt anything to try. Except my wallet because framing stuff is PRICEY! Also, just as an FYI, don't buy your plexiglass at Hobby Lobby. Lowe's is a third of the price.

Finished!

My finished realistic drawing. Due in 4 hours. Goodnight.

I really need a big scanner

I was reminded that I have not updated this in a while and so here we are. All of my classes this semester so far are going really well. In my drawing class we finished our cross contour line drawing and we have a trompe l'oeil due next week. It means to trick the eye and basically the drawing has to be as realistic as possible. Plus we are starting a monochromatic drawing that I am really excited about. Color pencil is fun to work with.

Here are some images of my cross contour line drawing. I really wish I had a giant scanner to do it justice. My camera phone just can't do it. Oh well.






And now here I have what I have to draw for my trompe l'oeil and then what I have so far for my drawing. Again, lack of proper scanner.

The string grid was to help me accurately place the objects in my drawing.





My computer art and photography classes are done at the end of next week and then I start my metals studio and textiles studio. I rather enjoy the change up mid semester. Prevents boredom with a studio style I might dislike.

Cheers.
