Face Proj

Here's the product of this week's work. We started out by getting an image of an interesting face and translate it from the photo to the paper. It was an exercise of human faces and shading. I'm pretty proud of this!



I got the resource image from a fellow deviant on DeviantArt. If you like, you can see the original image here: Tomas Mckeon

Last of the Week

I've just got done with the last drawing class I have this week. We did a couple more still lifes, and next week it sounds like we'll be doing some drawings of faces. This will become the common practice as long as I have art classes. I may have to work something special out for some of my later classes. Later I'll have a life drawing class which will include nude models, so it may not be the most appropriate work to post. :P

But anyway, here are the still lifes.

School

I guess I might not have been very clear here on what's up with me and school. So here you are.

I'm attending Westwood College near here for evening classes Monday through Thursday. It makes getting enough sleep near impossible, but I'm getting enough to function, and I can catch up on Friday or over the weekend.

I'm enrolled in Westwood's Game Art and Design program, so there are a lot of art classes ahead of me. Westwood is on a term schedule, which translates to 10 weeks of the same classes then a small break. Then the next term begins. After completing 15 terms, I will receive my Bachelor's in Computer Science. Roughly, that translates to 4 years, but there isn't such a thing as summer vacation. There will be some breaks for holidays, I'm sure, but no annual, long break. That's okay with me, really.

I'm taking three classes this term. The first and major class is Introduction to Drawing, which is 4 hours each night Monday through Wednesday. It's a fun class so far. We've begun still life drawings, which is what I'm presenting today. I apologize for the odd coloring, but I could only use a camera to take this and the flash reflected off some of the graphite.



The other two classes are Computer Application and Success Strategies. They both take up 2 hours on Thursday, and they are both generic classes that pretty much everyone takes. I predict that they won't be a problem, as what they're teaching is all the basics on organization and using the computer.

New Stuffs

I've got a few things to present this time around!

But first, news. I started my college courses on Wednesday, August 6, and it's going to be fun. I'll be up late and waking up early, but I've got a drawing class and a couple of more basic classes, so I'm excited to seeing what will happen.

Now, to the artwork.

First, this was something of a change for me. It looks generic, but I worked on making the cage-thing with just the basic tools. I could explain, but I'm the only one who would understand what I would say. :P



The next was a favor project for a friend of mine. She's something of a HUGE Xiaolin Showdown fan. That's some animated series on TV. I've never seen it. But she sent me an image of these coins, and they looked like they'd be fun to make. Thus, here they are!



And finally, another request from my friend. In a fit of late-night foolery, she suggested I make a corndog. So I did! Enjoy this one....look tasty, I think.



And to round it off, a stamp. This was from an online discussion with my girlfriend as she was describing a class she had at school. It involved a lot of >> and <<, so I just had to make a stamp that highlighted the little smilies. Enjoy.

Cathedral Lights

Just a quick post about the only thing I've made since the LAST post. This took me forever and it made my computer cry alot. I want to use it in something else, some REAL scene, but my computer simply can't handle it for some inexplicable reason. Just need an upgrade.
