Reaching, Pt 2

My charcoal version of "Reaching," that conveniently worked out for my final project in 2D Design! Good comments from the critique today--was told I did well with a whole range of values, teacher was impressed as she had me reveal that this was only my 1st year doing charcoal (and technically art all-together), and other comments like good drama and cool shadow coming off the hand.

My teacher got costumes from the theater department, I believe, so Kaylee (sp?) volunteered to put on the dress and models for us for 2 1/2 hours.

First Watercolor On This Blog!

New technique we learned in Drawing on Wed. We lay down a quick and dirty gesture drawing with watercolor. When it dries, you go back in and draw with pencil over it and refine it, ignoring the fact that some of the color's gonna be in the wrong place/outside the lines (that's hard to deal with). It's a pretty cool effect, though. 4/1/09

Danielle--3/18/09

I actually did this one 2nd of this set of 3 drawings I did of Danielle. I thought it was cool, and possibly the best one, even though I didn't spend as much time (30 min) as I did on the first one (below).

My 1st drawing of Danielle, it's ok. Got compliments on the hair... 1 1/2 hours

I got bored so I was gonna so some more stuff with shapes, but I ran out of time before I could get anywhere with it. (20 min)

Hands...

30-minute sketches of my left hand. 3/2/09

Cool hand position, Collette was pretty much the best hand model! Done over 4 10-minute sessions. 3/4/09
