Mo' Sketches

Just some stuff I've been meaning to upload.

More WIP

So I'm just getting around to coloring this (that explains the lack of values/colors, as of now). I was busy with ICON6! It was the highlight of my summer and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

...hi?

I know, ok. My updates don't happen, ever. Here's a work in progress I'm trying to knock out by ICON. It's a poster/portrait of The Tallest Man on Earth, who you should really listen to if you haven't yet.

Feedback appreciated, please and thanks! I'll keep posting shots of this as it comes along.

Preview!

Here's the sketch/underdrawing for my Drawing and Painting: A Dialogue final. I'm going to start painting it tonight. I finally took advantage of the do-literally-whatever-you-want aspect of that class, and stopped worrying about if my work had enough "content" and "meaning" (which it doesn't, really, which is why I struggled all semester). Oddly enough when my professor gave me a critique he pointed out all kinds of possible subtexts, so maybe there's hope for me after all. Ultimately I just had a lot of fun drawing from my imagination, after not doing so for a while. There are probably a lot of proportion issues, but whatevs.

Oh. And the basis for this drawing was Facebook. More progress pictures coming soon.

Gestures

Since everything for Drawing from the Tablet is digital, I have a bunch of drawings just chilling on my hard drive. I liked some of these gestures so here they are. The last image is just a doodle of my friend from last semester's visual journalism class.

A galaxy rise with 400 billion suns!

So here's a screen cap of my latest assignment for Illustration 2! It's a magazine spread for the Radiolab episode about space. I'm going to color Carl Sagan's halo with metallic pencil when I print this bad boy out. I'll post a more finished jpeg file (hopefully with some sharper edges, ha) later.

Also here's the original drawing for kicks. I changed some stuff but graphite powder is my new bff.

Some sketches

Because they're all I ever post, when I post. I have a new baby Moleskine and it's great for stealth-doodling in class. I probably should be taking notes instead...
