Sketches, Ideas, and a new project

In a few weeks, I will be embarking on a new project outside of class.  I want to use my skills I developed over the fall and winter quarters during my time at SCAD.  Its going to be a little difficult since I still have my two studio classes for this spring 2012 quarter.  I'll try to spread out this project in a two week period or three period so it won't conflict with my class projects.

Here's my sketches and notes for this project:

Dragon in a waterfall.

More dragons...

The project should be a drawing of a dragon sitting in front of a waterfall and overlooking its beauty.

Sketch-a-day #2

I had a little trouble taking a photo of this sketch.  The resolution is low and the picture is grainy and difficult to alter in GIMP.

Still working on Briell Featcher's character style.  I might go back to that long coat style. Also, this is the first time in months I'd drawn a full figure character that's a human (??)!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!

My classes start on Wednesday the 4th and I very excited but a little nervous about the new quarter.  I been getting those weird days where I'm not drawing or doing anything art related at all.  I think I'm lacking in confidence in my abilities despite strengthening them during my first year at SCAD.  I guess when I go on these extended breaks, I lose that drive to do anything, or think up ideas, or anything creative.

  I did pull myself out of "art depression" and I started back drawing.  The sketches may not be the still lives I drew in Drawing 100 but at least I drew something:

I'm playing around with human/animal hybrids.

Dragon bird woman

Drawing random faces...

Old Character...Twidley Wink.

Upcoming Class time and Sketches

Early Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

 After this Sunday, I  have only one week left before classes! For the 2012 winter quarter, my classes are Drawing 2, Survey of Western Art II, and Design 1.  So, for the remaining week I have left, I'll practice drawing and go back over my drawing notes from last quarter.

Also, I won't be updating on the 24th, Christmas Eve.  I need to spend time with family and friends, open presents, walk with God, make sure the cats won't destroy the house (I swear they do that for fun, seriously), and draw stuff!

Anywho, here's some very belated sketches:

New Character...not sure what to do with her...

Perhaps a human/angel version of Vistalgia?

Or a guardian with a heart of stone...

Happy Halloween...MUH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA

Ok...Sorry, I missed last week.  I was trying to finish a big project for Drawing-100 at SCAD and I didn't get home until very late in the evening.  It was a linear still life on a 24x36 paper drawn in class and it's similar to the earlier projects during this quarter.  Drawing it was extremely challenging because I was drawing a still life with CDs, cups, papers, ruler, binders, two triangle rulers, and a large old-school calculator.  The calculator and the triangle rulers were difficult to draw, so I had to use multi point linear perspective (combination of one point (parallel to the viewer) and two point (perpendicular to the viewer) or two points where the edges are not parallel to each other).  I'll talk more about this next week when I get my artwork back.

This old ugly thing.

And now art!

Concept of the lion cobra.  I like how strong and powerful this creature looks. It carries the strength of a lion and frightening yet graceful curves of a cobra.  I might draw the midsection longer next time.

Another lion cobra. This one was drawn before the above picture as a quick sketch.

Trying the 25 expressions challenge again.  The way Vistalgia's face is designed gives very interesting and difficult to draw expressions.
