Really old Stuff

This is the really old stuff archive. I don't have many pics from high school, early college. A few sketches I liked technically, most everything else got ditched.

This is from... er... 1985? Geez. Just a sketch from a clothing ad. Sorry for the glare. Too lazy to take apart the old crappy frame and take a good pic of it.

Fall Term Painting Class... man I suck...

Well, I've started a painting class and man... I have a heck of a lot to learn.

One of the first things we worked on was a 'non representational' painting based on some thumbnail paintings we did. Here's the thumbnail paintings:



Then we did some monochrome in class paintings:




Then we took one of the non representational thumbnails and made it big. erm - mine didn't end up at all like my thumbnail. Grotesque, yes, but it had me laughing by the end of it.



Here's one I started and is still in progress - as 'I'm so frustrated with homework, I'm going to paint the kitty instead'.



And here's an inclass still life we worked on. Not 100% pleased with it, but it's all a learning experience.



Finished triptych - 3 closeups of an object.



Master's copy. Struggled with this alot - never did get the color right and the detail of the woodgrain didn't turn out very well.




Finshed final two panels. Got really cartoon like. The one with cat is acrylic, the one with eyes is inktense pencils.

What I did with my Fridays off - Spring 2010

Closed and open contour line exercise, I believe. This was just before the Spring Term class actually.



Still Life, on newsprint. Charcoal and Conte.



Still Life, charcoal and conte. Kept having issues with distance and seeing the detail in the still life exercises.



Homework exercise, copying a classic. In charcoal, 1st drawing.



Homework Exercise, copying a classic. In charcoal. 2nd drawing.



Triptych Exercise. Learned to never draw something that I have to hold. Charcoal.



Collage Project. Creating a collage, then drawing it in pastel. This was taken in progress.



Homework - surreal. Charcoal and Conte.



This is the finished drawing of the collage.



In class graphite exercise. Very short, unfinished.



One point perspective exercise, 1 and 2.

(looking for drawings)

Skull morph. In class exercise. Charcoal. Kinda got out of control, but had fun with values.




Final Project - revisting the Collage. Minor alterations, drawn on white paper with black colored pencil this time.
