Sculpture

This is from an anatomy sculpting class last quarter.  It met once a week during which we attempted to sculpt Sarah - cool lady.  The following is my 1st and only sculpture so far.  Turns out that if you know how to draw a person, sculpting them isn't too bad.  Basically i hit a wall of my anatomical knowledge.  I'll try this again when i have my anatomy more on lock.  Regardless, I'm super proud of how this turned out.  On a less fun note, the clay we used was only meant to be temporary so it cracked like hell when it dried.  My mother spackled it back together.  It worked but it color-wise, now it looks a tad silly.

I took a bunch of pictures of stuff from the year.  Here's my favorites

 this was a study for the raccoon image from 1st quarter but i like it more than the final one

Third Quarter

It's been awhile since my last update, so once again I'm not sure where to start.  I went into this quarter with grand ambitions of doing 3 more 8'x4' drawings and starting to focus on three tone charcoal drawings but back in the land of reality, that didn't really happen.  I hit a huge hitch in the beginning of the quarter in that i ran out of paper and boards for the big projects.  I proceeded to get jerked around by Utrech (promising deliveries and having what i needed, and then not) so by the time i actually got my act together, I lost a fair amount of my momentum.  Because of my delay, the three big projects got widdled down to one, and by the time i got my materials together i was so stressed about this that my three-tones didn't go anywhere.  That being said, the one big one became a little bit more ambitious because im including a background in it.  We have three weeks left in the quarter I'm aiming to be done with it by the end of this week.  This one is featuring CJ and Chancy.  Thanks guys.

Besides my big project, we've been doing a fair amount of anatomy studies.  These are incredibly helpful.  No pain, no gain.  I have a few more of these but i need to photograph them.  The paper is all rolly, but I'll put them up when im less busy.

This one is from last quarter, but it's in my camera so here it is.

Liferoom is continuing, and I im super proud of myself.  The big lesson i have to teach myself is patience.  Here are my two favorites of the quarter, one because its actually a finished drawing, and the other because im super proud of the likeness i got to the model, despite the proportion fail.
