Drawing and ring

I finished my color complimentary drawing but forgot to take a finished picture of it. So here is another in process picture that is at least further along than the last one.



I also finished my ring (for the most part) I think there are still some small things that I want to polish up and refine but I am pretty well pleased with it. I am intending to take another more advanced metals class next semester. Pretty excited about it.








I am also going to be taking a sort of professional prep course next semester. Basically a prep course for entering the professional world of studio arts. I hope it is helpful and not a throw away course.

So colorful

Worked some more on my full color complimentary drawing today. It is due on Thursday of next week. One day after my ring is due. I hope I can get it all done in time. I am sort of anxious about it. Here are some in process pictures. A lot of it is unfinished color blocking. I still have a lot of detail work and refining of forms to do.

The paper I am using is wonderful. The color blend really well on it and it picks up the chalk pastels beautifully. I guess for a 5 dollar piece of pastel paper it better be awesome.

Silver ring

So, our first assignment in my metals/jewelry making class is a sweat soldered ring. I have some in process pictures below. I still need to clean it up, file rough edges, apply my sweat solder pieces and polish it up. But I am pretty excited about it.
