creative endeavors.

this is the latest project I did for painting, and it's a superflat self-portrait.
I definitely had a love-hate relationship with it. I enjoyed it quite a bit for a while. then it became pretty tedious and time-consuming, but I still can say I liked the project. even if none of the work I do right now seems to turn out quite like I'd expected, I could say the unpredictable nature is part of the fun, and maybe I'll just leave it at that haha.

I loved it at this stage and kinda want to revisit this idea at some other time just incorporating elements like this.


finished-ish.

(the colors are just a little off so you can't quite tell, but the hair is purple.)

done! I survived another studio class. what a relief. =)

this one wrapped up with self portrait overload, people.
the last homework project was two self portraits, and then the final drawing for class was another self portrait with an emphasis on exploration of materials.

here are the ones I did for homework.

(started and finished them in one very long night.)

then here is the study for the final

and the final itself

and some details. (I think the eyebrows may be my favorite part, oddly enough)



the last couple days of working on this, my room became a bit of a studio and I survived on iced coffee with a soundtrack of count of monte cristo. it was actually a nice way to finish up.

first year art recap.

brace yourself. this one's gonna be very long.

homework number two. pointillism.


homework number three and atmospheric perspective.


symbolism project.


homework number four. self portrait.


the rest, for the brave, is after the jump.

here a couple pictures of the last two big projects for my drawing class. I'm actually terribly sad it's over.

here is the last homework project. it is a self portrait in chalk pastels.



and the here are some pictures of the process and the completed individual theme/symbolism project.







I'll sort of miss having pastels all over me. (and everything else)



finished!

I did most of this one to a background of christmas music and the movie "you've got mail." it seemed fitting. =)
