Stop! Buffer Time!

Sorry there is buffer today; it was a bit of a stressful sort of time.


Venus de Milo done in Shepard Fairey's style. You'll know him best as "the guy who did the Obama 'change' campaign posters."

Almost Forgot About This

I was scrambling to finish a research paper on time. Nay procrastination. I never learn.

Here is hopefully the last of my Drawing 1 buffer for a while. It is a self portrait in the style of Matisse!


With even an ounce of luck, I'll be talking about Nightmare City again tomorrow.

Finals Consuming my Time

So here's some more Drawing 1 buffer.

Remember What I Said About the Drawing 1 Buffer?

It was foreshadowing for when I couldn't find the camera to show you my Drawing 1 Final WIP that I've been working on today!

Here, have a self-portrait instead.

Erk.

Sorry guys. Very busy and not very fun day today and I really didn't have the time to draw. =|

Here's something I did in drawing class in November. I won't be posting up a lot of these at once because they make good buffer, but as soon as I get fixative on some of the messier but particularly good ones you'll see it.

Sorry for the Lateness

I had another paper to write.

Here's a dude I painted in drawing class.

Another Drawing Class Dude

I didn't quite finish the background on this one before I thought the class ended. It's a long story.

And here I go through another art block ._.

Uninspired

Today I was kind of at a loss on what to post for my blog; hence, late post. Here are some paintings I did in Drawing 1. (Yes, paintings in drawing 1... I know it's silly)



If you have any suggestions as to what you want to see, a comment would be nice.

Today, an Anotomical/Color Study

Tomorrow, focus on the hero of NaNo 09.

Sidetracked

Just some more Drawing 1 midterm stuff.




If you line them up side-by-side, they sort of connect.

Major Crap

I broke schedule.

Dammit.

To make up for it, there will be two posts today.

The first one has... um.



...These two sketches I did for Drawing 1 Midterm.

Showpiece

I'm working on a piece to submit to a student art show. Here is a preview!


I think I freaked some of my more prudent classmates out today because I was using an anatomy book for reference and I had the book opened to a page of genitalia for the better part of an hour. I chuckled in my mind.

Death

Today, I drew a skull with my sharpie.


But my sharpie is almost dead. =< We hardly knew ye.

It's So Still

It's also not finished, but what the hell. It's what I drew today, so that's what you're seeing.

We had to do a still life for Drawing 1. I did one before, but ended up being more of a practice in composition than anything else. But I think I nailed the composition on this one, so hooray! (Spot the Star Wars character and win the smug satisfaction that you can identify rough sketches of Star Wars characters.)

I also finished Napoleon with the changes suggested by my teacher, but they're so minor I figured no one would notice if I posted them. So I didn't.

Drawing 1 Avalanche

First of all--I finished the background for Napoleon.


I still need to make a few changes to appease my teacher but other than that he's all done.

Second of all--literally no one (not even my teacher) was expecting it, but we had our first live model in class today.

So we did some gestures. And by some, I mean a ton.











Sorry for the low quality of some of these; I had to photograph them to put them on the blog and I didn't want to use flash for its notorious effect on oil paints... and I used oil pastels (which are basically solidified oil paint) on a good chunk of these.

My arm is still a little sore... for the two hours our model was there, we didn't break at all.

Conte Crayon "Landscape"

For the time being, I think I'm going to throw up pictures with as little comment as possible.

Landscape in quotes because although this is a drawing of what I saw outside it is such an extreme close-up that it kind of defeats the landscape idea... but then I don't know what to call it. XD

No Medley Today

I wanted to focus on fleshing out my Drawing 1 portfolio instead.


So here's a shoe. The strange thing about this is that it looks better when it's all small and thumbnail size... most of my sharpie stuff does. XD I really like how the toning on this came out, but I sort of messed up on the scaling... it still looks okay, though.

There will probably be Medley tomorrow.

A hint of listnessness

Hey guys! You know how I said I was going to start covering Medley on this blog?

I was just kidding! Sorry if any of you were excited.


Instead, here's something I did in drawing class today.

Napoleon Appears!

A least, a GIANT drawing of a string-version does!


Sorry this is lower quality than usual; the paper this is on is something like 36x14", I think. Of course my scanner isn't that big so I had to take a picture of it. It's what I did in drawing today!

It's done with oil pastels... and though it's not finished yet, I LOVE how this turned out. I hope you all do, too.

Smorgasbord

A lot of different drawings today! Some of them aren't particularly good, but at least they're there.

The titular character of Guardian. He looks a little strange and dead-eyed here, but I like the movement in his clothing.

Some expressions for Jeff, who you saw yesterday. From the top, they are "awe," "apathy," and "nerd rage." Jeff is fun to draw.

Lastly, a still life I did for drawing class today. Totally messed up the proportions, so I sort of quit halfway. Oh well, can't win 'em all...
