I Was Thinking (Has This Been a Title Before?)

I'm coming up with some clever Summer goals and I think you'll be pleased with me!

I was going to color these but it's Easter and I have stuff to do! Maybe I'll get around to it?

AH! You think I'm a liar, do you? Well here's the thing: I did color (sort of) some things from last week:

Maybe I'll actually finish coloring these in and turn them into finished pieces? LOL

I've been really struggling in my head drawing class for the last couple weeks. It felt like I was unable to see things right and get them down on paper correctly. But this week I did a couple drawings I didn't despise:

Also, some sketches I didn't hate from this week:

And then for one class we went to the museum and drew some animals. I did hate some of these, but for variety's sake they're in here:

Also, this week: SHUFFLE MADNESS! I like when improbable things happen as I shuffle through all the songs on my mp3 player. I heard Stains of Time from Metal Gear Rising and then the instrumental version, one right after the other? What are the odds of that?!!? Very slim, my friends. Very slim. Metal Gear Rising has a completely silly soundtrack, but the game succeeds perfectly at what it's trying to do (i.e. be silly). I was reading somewhere and the writer was joking about how the game's mechanics let you chop a guy's head in half after chopping it off. It's preposterous. 

I don't have much to share today...

Sorry. 

Homework:

Others:

Hours

I spend hours a day. I see cool stuff other people do and it makes me want to be better. It's a lot of work. 

Update on my homework assignment:

Whoa, these guys have the same face. That's cool?

A dragon! I did a sketch and painted it. That lavender background makes me want to vomit, and I really can't stand looking at it, it hurts my eyes. It changed a lot. I want to add more detail in the painted version. I think I need to study 3D forms and how shadows are cast, because I really struggle with painting.

Put the chickens away!

I have to go put the girls back in the cage and get ready for work. Here's some things, it's not 3D, I didn't have timeeeeeeeeee. But soon. I just have a lot to do today.

The final project for class is whatever I want. So I decided to take what I'd been doing last week and push something to completion. So here's this thumb:

It was my special secret, I'd been saving it for a special occasion. Well whatever- Better make it count! Dumped stuff over it:

I expanded it to fit the required measurements (1600 x 1200 pixels) and found I was almost there anyway. I changed what I had considered buildings to cliffs because it seemed to read easier and continued refining everything. So tomorrow I'll work this some more. 

And all the rest.

Okay, I've had my fun

I've been fooling around with compositions for a while, I need to take one of them and push it further. So that's what I'm gonna do next week. Um. It's kind of cool to have two subjects. Here I have a tower and some dude walking towards it:

This is what I turned in for "Mask" today. 

Final "Temptation" project

So the theme for the week was "Temptation" and I was freaking out because I was liking where my sketch was going but completely unable to make it fit the theme. My friend Thomas suggested that my temptation was "Always wanting to draw a big muscular warrior guy" and that's what I'm going with.

I forgot to use a title yesterday

Sometimes I have secrets I don't post. They're just little learning experiences that nobody but me needs to know exist.

This guy has gone through some serious changes.

I'm running out the door!

Here's my final "Universe" assignment. I really gotta go. Some of these are a little rough. OKAY

Today, I drew some pictures.

AGH 

Update on my "Universe" assignment. Almost done!
