finished one of the papers! yay!

i gotta say, those are some sexy clavicles. the face looks a little weird, but the chest area is awesome. i'm pretty proud of it. i'm trying to do one paper a day, so tomorrow i'll be doing the whole torso... that's a lot of work...

finished outline

hey!! i started my drawing!

yay! i've actually gotten a bit farther than this by now... i've drawn my knees! but i forgot to take a pic, and i don't want to unroll the drawing, so... yeah...

giant self portrait!!

so, here's what my life size self portrait will be. pencil drawing, super detailed, cuz i need to work on drawing what i actually see... i've been drawing myself so much i don't even look anymore, so my portraits don't really look like me anymore. anyway, pencil drawing with an embroidered background. it will be intense and crazy and hopefully awesome. the final size will be 29.75 x 66.5 in, meaning the figure will be a little under life size.

progress!

all my reference pics laid out to be the figure

trying to show the grid on this pic, which is 4.25 x 9.5 with quarter inch squares

outlining where each of the reference pics is and what it shows and how they interact and all that

the 2 pics next to each other.

i'm starting the grid on the big paper, which will take a while to get... then i can actually start the drawing! the sqaures on it are 1.75 inches. i'm using 4 pieces of 22x30 paper, which i outlined rectangles on to make them more reasonable. 3 are 29.75 x 18 and the fourth is 29.75 x 12.5.

i really liked this one pic, when i was trying to get the whole figure so i can actually piece it all together. it almost looks like i'm naked or something.

book!

These five pics are from a day or so ago, so my book has evolved since I took these. But it's all I have right now, and Cesley has my camera for the Rock the Vote concert, so I can't take more. Whatever, the images are from pages that are pretty much the same [except the one of the 3rd major, as I have now filled in what it is].


The front cover! Made of matt board with gold pen and origami paper cut outs.


Title page for Crafts and Material Studies. More origami cut outs.


Title page for Photography. It's my least favorite... Origami paper...


There's no title here, but now there is. Title page for Painting and Printmaking. This one is my favorite. Origami paper.


Back cover...

another try...

Another try at uploading my final Big Print submission. I had forgotten about it until I got to class today. So, while waiting for the rubber cement to dry, I'll try once again to upload it.

HORRAY!

It finally worked.

I'm awesome.

Abstract paintings

Thusly, my abstract paintings! The top is ink, and 15x20, the bottom is acrylic, and also 15x20.

Wow, I haven't put anything here in a long time... oops...
