Aquarium Visit #1

Watercolor fish sketches in an aquarium. It sounds like a good idea. Until you figure out that the halls are dimly lit so that the children can scream "I SEE NEMO!" because they have a better chance of seeing fish with the tank being lit.

So when all the colors look like they're mud, I was working with basically no light.

Fish and some abstract... underwater.... coral? rock? background?

   

shading adventures

Brown paper, some kind of pastel? and black marker. And the last one is one black paper... and looks like a mess.

Caricatures

From my drawing for animators class.

Left Foot.

This was 2 hours last week. Figure drawing and spacial analysis.
This is, literally, the hardest angle to draw your foot as.
Because:
My toes actually face the outside, since the toes are smaller as they come towards you, it is harder to understand the angle by what's in front of other things. The ankle is also not at a totally correct angle in relation to the heel, which basically looks the same from a number of angles. This piece did drive me a little crazy.

figure drawing and ice cream

Figure drawing, and awful pictures of my work. We were supposed to draw the model like the bowling pin: broken down into volumes, starting with 2D shapes and transforming into 3D shapes. At least, I think that's what we were supposed to be doing. We did about 10-15 poses, and these were the more successful ones. The closeup on the bottom was a result of a horribly proportioned drawing and my need for a better clarity of the volumes by shading.

And I found Pratt's Ben and Jerry's freezer. Not a bad Friday, overall.
