so here are some more. 

this one we were drawing with a graphite pencil attached to a paint stirrer from home depot. we had to hold it at the end of the stick which made for relatively messy drawings. i vaguely remember we were supposed to work on getting different lines.

this was a fun little activity, we assigned different types of lines to numbers, and then a pair of dice were rolled and whichever number they landed on we were supposed to draw.

ok now this one i hate. were were given a stencil of a letter and had to make a design and use value, etc. i hate mine. the craftmanship is really bad, and i feel like i played it ridiculously safe. so please overlook this one super quickly.

ok, so it's been a million years since i last posted anything, and my professor keeps nagging us to keep up with these. so i'm playing catch up. i'll try to keep them in chronological order, but honestly i don't remember so we'll see what happens.so this one was done in the first few days of class. we were told to find 5 images using google image search. then we were to trace the images on top of eachother. you can't tell, but my 5 were, a velociraptor, a vw bug that was turned into a camper, a rhinocerous, a really jovial woman whose face popped up when i image searched my name, and some yarn. 

then we were told we could pick and choose the images we wanted to trace, etc. so here's what i did. i feel like the rhino has this strange vw plumage. i was pleased.

so this one we were supposed to do a line drawing of something. i don't actually remember the exact specifications of the assignment. so i drew my car. then we were to post the drawings on craigslist trying to sell them. mine was flagged though. probably because someone actually thought i was selling a 1971 vw bug for 10 bucks. silly people. 

blog virgin

so this is my first blog, be gentle with me. as an assignment for my design class this semester, we were required to set up a blog so we can publish (?) post (?) our work that we do for the class, and i guess otherwise if we wanted to go blog crazy and post stuff from outside class or even get into those mysterious things called feelings people talk about all the time.
but now i'm babbling, so this is a piece of work from class. we're studying shape, and i loved the effect we got with the technique we were instructed to use. using the exacto knife we cut out the shape, then inked the cut out shaped and the fit it back into the hole it left and taped up the back so it would stay. i loved the ink on this one. i just think it's cool. i want to experiment more with this.
so that's it. my first blog.
