A little bit of everything

Its a snow day and classes/workstudy are cancelled for the day so I figured I would take a few pictures of the Art I had laying around the house. I sincerely thought I had more hanging around here.

But first, check out the snow! It's coming down at a good clip, I do not look forward to walking outside in it later, but it will be worth it.

 So here are a few figures I had stashed under my bed. I prefer the quick shading with lines in the 2nd drawing, but I suppose its more of a challenge to be 'painterly'. We had Mid Term Critique this week in Figure Drawing, and I need to work on finding the core shadows.

Then over in my Mixed media course we are working on 16"x16" compositions for an exquisite corpse piece. We are to make three compositions, but I only like this one. It will be a mix of colored pencils and washes.

I made a triptych of chrysanthemums a while back using complimentary colors in each of the different panels. Also, I drew Batman in a bathtub. I find the Art that I find the most enjoyable to make is making it for the purpose of making someone question either what you were thinking, make them smile for a moment or both. Some call it a shallow reason to make Art, but I'm not a very Highbrow person. Perhaps someday my sister can help me define things about my Art, she will be an art historian after.

Eventually I'll get these to my Mom.

Also, you should totally watch this music video. Enjoy the snow New England, it had to happen eventually, so why not March.

A Few Figures

This semester I get to take a figure drawing course. Its nice to get your hands on something tactile and dirty, although I leave class every time with my face covered in charcoal.  The figure is amazingly fun for me to draw, I hope that eventually we get to do poses longer than 20 minutes as the semester progresses, perhaps next post I'll show some gestural drawings, those are fun as well. We have had primarily female models, and these are just a few of the drawings, more to come.

Color and Drawing: Mixed Media work

Here is a picture of a drawing I did tonight in my Color and Drawing: Mixed Media course. Even though it was an observation drawing I plan on tweaking a few things and getting a better handle on my colored pencils.

I apologize for the rough photo, it was taken with my phone, will update with better quality images soon!
