Morphtrait

This is my little "morphtrait" project I've been working on for a while now. It's due tomorrow at 2, so I'm all for critiques...I think it actually turned out pretty nice. This is a guy in my class and I had to put his face on the animal I was "assigned," which is a shark (hopefully it's obvious).

Business World?

I'm thinking about startin' my own design business on the web and this is the logo I've liked the most...

More Models

First time using toned paper for a drawing and using the white charcoal with it. This one was an hour and a half, I think.

This was a 20-minute session, same technique, except for the absence of smearing. Both of these:

I Love Photoshop

This is pretty much awesome. I was bored. Though this is perfectly representative of me...*cough*...I'm not counting any kind of photo-editing as a self-portrait--for my project it has to be me actually drawing the majority of it. Just thought I'd let you know, even though it doesn't really apply to this post...Enjoy!

Self Portrait #11

Here's an ambiguous self portrait I've done. I chose the card because it said, "self awareness," thus it was surely meant to have a self-portrait drawn on it. 3/22/09 By the way, I'm only counting the self portraits labeled as such and I'm not counting repeats...

SketchCards

This is a forgery of one of Will Sliney's drawings, I'm trying to experiment with different styles, you see...

I went outside with my camping chair to enjoy the awesome overcast weather today and drew the tree I sat in front of--there was a big pile of leaves, needles, and pine cones next to it (hence the scribbling). Both of these were drawn today 3/22/09

Explorations In Graffiti

Did this one today in 119. Says "Dindy," which is Megan's new word for the day, as she tried to say both "nifty" and "dandy" at the same time, and she liked the word, so I commemorated it, graffiti style. 3/22/09

This one actually belongs to my first group of these cards I've been doing--I'm uncertain when I did this, but it was around the end of Feb/beginning of March. I love this one, although I'm sad that my card was too small for what I ended up drawing...

Me, Again

A new self portrait! Did this last night, I really really really like it. Once again, it's on a 3x5 index card. 3/21/09

Cards1.1

I did this to, once again, emulate Jake Wyatt's kind of style, I'm just really fascinated with the way he does sketches. I'm not gonna tell you what this technically is a picture of, 'cause it's disgraceful, but it looks cool like this. 3/19/09

There's a message within this cool emulation of Jake Wyatt's style of text. Basically the same as what some know from my other blog. 3/20/09

The last couple hours I've been reading Native American legends for inspiration of stuff to draw. The one above and below are both part of the Apach legend, Destruction of the Bear. The fox who is apparently the hero--possibly in most Apache legends. 3/20/09

This is a bear from the legend. I drew a heart with a knife in it, to try and throw in more of the legend with this little picture--the heart is in pen that I drew with after I filled in all the black, you'll probably have to blow this one up to see it. 3/20/09

Another Apache legend; the Jicarilla Genesis--this is the guy looking through the hole to discover the world above ground after the "game" thing. 3/20/09

This guy looks more like a pretchikus old-person, rather than the cool, hardened warrior I was drawing from...oh well, it still turned out kinda cool. 3/20/09

Cards!

More of these fun little index card sketches/experiment things. This is an abstraction based on a picture of Mt. Fuji.

This one was my attempt at emulating the style of one of my favorite bloggers from the BYU Animation program, Jake Wyatt.

This was a blind contour of one of my favorite drawings that Brian Kohrman, another BYU blogger, has done, and I then went in with the oil pastel and tried to make it look cool.

New Self-Portrait

I've been doing a lot of random things on some index cards that I found in the recycling bin in my dorm. Here's a nice, almost-Impressionistic-sketch of me. It doesn't look as good online as in real life, but if you saw the real thing, it really looks like me if you squint or see it from afar--adding this to my self-portrait project.

Me Likes--By The Way This Is My 100th Post!

Here is my collage I did for 2D Design; it's a self-portrait that's supposed to reveal something about me--now you all know that I love dirtbiking. I think it was pretty successful. Finished it at 1:30 this morning :P. 3/17/09

I Really Did Use Myself As The Reference

A guy on the internet did 1000 self portraits, I'm taking on a challenge to do as many as I can. He did do abstractions of himself, which is why I can count this one, and I call it, "Self Portrait In Mayan."

Reaching

I did something productive over Spring Break! I signed this one! 3/11/09
