(Figure drawings from Mahoney's class. I tried to play with these... elongate the torsos, mess with the legs, faces, etc. Some were successful, some... not so much.)

Tree-Eater

2009-10-28T13:59:00.002-04:00

Here is another part of that same character design assignment from the earlier post. We had to devise a monster and draw two vignettes, one worm's eye and one bird's eye. Mine was pretty simple: A monster who eats trees attempts to consume the beloved tree-house of two small children as they viciously defend it. I tried to make the monster look a bit like a tree stump; I'm not sure how well that worked.

Studies from Gladiator

Most of them are pretty incomplete...they were timed studies from Mahoney's class. Such great fun!! I'll update this post later when I get the rest of them back.

Fun Figure Drawing!

Figure drawing is exhausting sometimes--BUT IT'S TOO MUCH FUN TO LET IT GO!!

Mailin'

We had to mail our Color and Design teacher one of our assignments, so I sketched this on the envelope I sent mine in.

I'm at CalArts!

2009-09-18T13:32:00.003-04:00

I am! And there's so much work to be done! I've just completed my first week, and life sure is hectic--but absolutely wondrous and totally fantastic. I love it here! All of my professors are absolutely wonderful and inspiring...and have already assigned plenty of work for me to do (which I'm going to keep working on RIGHT NOW)!

Before CalArts, I spent a week with Mr. Vincent up in Sacramento :) What a wonderful precursor to CalArts!

It's Been Awhile!

2009-08-24T20:00:00.005-04:00

I offered to do a few things for a scholarship Vincent was working on...here's what I made! Four puppets: one of Elizabeth Bennett, one of Mr. Darcy, and the last two of fish mariachi-men. They were really plenty of fun to make!

(PS: I officially have the same number of fingers on ONE HAND as I do days until I leave for California!)

MAH FACE.

2009-08-02T19:53:00.004-04:00

So I've been doing three self-portrait sketches each day. Here's one of the ones from yesterday...Vince called me while I was workin' on it, so I just left it unfinished (ah, priorities); besides, I sort of liked it like this...even though the hand was so terribly unfleshed.

WAIT. I LOOK LIKE A GUY. WHAT.

Unplanned Papercuts!

2009-07-30T14:55:00.011-04:00

Earlier this morning I was perusing the work of a fellow named Thomas Allen (http://www.thomasallenonline.com/), and it was so lovely that it made me feel like doing something myself. So, without hesitation, I grabbed my sketchbook and x-acto knife and started scribbling and hacking away. It's so much fun! I think I shall do more later.

What would you call a cut-out sketch? A scratch, perhaps?

Glimpses from the New York Mission Trip

2009-07-21T13:56:00.009-04:00

(Note: I dislike writing long and detailed enteries, so I will just keep this post limited to details relating to or explaining the drawings I post :) )

This is the church we stayed at, named the First Evangelical Free Church. Off to the very left side, if you kept walking, you would see a door labelled 'CSM--Center for Student Missions'. If you opened this door (you needed a code), it would lead to a flight of stairs which extended both upward and downward. Our living quarters (i.e.: large rooms in which to unroll our sleeping bags) were downward, in the basement, as were the kitchen, common room, and showers.
If you took the flight of stairs which led upward, however, you would find a hallway. Off to the left would be a door which opened to the gym area. This was also where we had all of our orientations/meetings.

I liked the way this girl was sitting.

Most nights we ate at different ethnic restaurants. For example, Sunday, the day we arrived, was Dominican, Monday was Indian, and Tuesday was Polish.

Wenesday we had an activity titled 'Immersion', so we had no ethnic food (basically, they gathered a small group of us and sent us to a part of town named Chelsea with ten dollars to feed six people and complete several other activities. We were then find our way back home sans subway directions...An important part of this was figuring out group dynamics...hu'wee...).

Thursday and Friday were free, unplanned nights, so the group figured out what we wanted to do. We ate Italian both nights.

Anyway, though, the Polish and Indian food was DELICIOUS. These two food-themed sketches are from the night we had Indian food.

Anyone who knows me knows I would be one to get an enormous kick out of the subway. I LOVE the subway! By the end of the trip I was pretty darned good at figuring out routes and such...

I saw this lady at Subway the Sunday we arrived who had a fishy air about her.

(PS: This is the organization we went over through: Center for Student Missions)
