Just some characters

Some fun sketches I did the other night for fun.





Keep Drawing!

I was cleaning my room today and found a bunch of old sketchbooks. I was looking through them and thinking of who I was when I was filling them. Its interesting to look back at observation drawings and remember where I was or who I was with and why I wanted to capture that thing in my sketchbook at that specific moment. Most of the drawings were bad but I remember how hard I was trying and even now I can see improvement in my self as I scroll through each sketchbook.
I think its true what people say, everyone has bad drawings in them and you have to draw as much as possible to get them out. A comfort you can take in this is you will never go backward in skill. You will only get better.
Here are some pictures I liked from one of my sketchbooks.

Life drawings

Some life and anatomy drawings  I forgot to post.









Some Sketches for DP

I had some time before class this morning and drew some quick ideas out for DP.










Also these are some sketches I never posted for DP a long time ago. My idea was a little different then.




Summer Course

 Here are some pictures from my summer course, Figure in Clay with Gerry Hoag. Gerry is one of my favorite teachers at Mass Art I took Life Drawing with him my sophomore year and it changed the way I  think about the human figure. Gerry is a sculptor outside of teaching therefor he's always thinking in 3-d. He taught me to think 3 dimensionally when drawing in 2-d and I saw a huge improvement in my drawing skills. Later I took stop motion and a course in Maya which further caused me to think three dimensionally. So I was really excited to take Gerry's course Figure in Clay this summer. I learned a lot from working in 3d I think it has further improved the way I observe the figure and it will definitely come into play when working in 3d computer programs or any kind of real 3d work for stop motion or other projects.
 So here are some pictures I took on my phone during the whole process of my sculpture. I still want to finish it in wax so I will post final pictures soon.
