Just messing around

Yep still posting: Elias Island Special Projects (oops meant Ellis Island... whatever)

 Hey still alive and posting, This semester I enrolled in a special arts class that was only available this semester. The instructor is William Low a very talented painter and illustrator  you can check out his work . What makes this special is while he teaches us his techniques in both the digital and traditional media students get work on pieces based on a central subject matter. The subject is Ellis Island at the end of the semester we will have a body of work that will have its own show ( we have no idea where could be just a school show or whatever). So here was our first assignment

 First assignment was to use a reference picture he supplied and recreate the image on photoshop. I have always wanted to use photoshop but ended up getting overwhelmed by all the bells and whistles. I have learned a lot of practical tips and tricks that helped remove all the smoke and mirrors I couldn't see  This was good assignment that got me out of the shell.

Turning a Rockwell into a Sendak?

Just posting final works form the end of the semester, project was turn a existing drawing painting and turn into something bases on a working thesis. Didn't realize I  would end up with a Sendak like piece but I like it

After Christmas Sketching

So Merry Christmas!! I hope you got all you wished for ( I did lol)..... Dam it is cold, its was literally a blizzard a yesterday and since I was stuck inside I had the chance to just draw. This is a spot illustration I was asked to do did sketch a few days ago and did the ink finish last night enjoy

Yeah sorry for not posting my bad......

 

Well most of you were in the same boat as I was FINISHING SCHOOL WORK. and I am still not finished, my final weekend before everything else is due. Well thankfully it is starting to come to an end. Now I will leave you with my drawing comp 2 finishes, I can guarantee you my other stuff is not up to snuff ( unfortunately)

OBJECTION!

 Okay let recap today....... COLD, and worse rainy and I had to wake up early. But all that aside I had a pretty interesting day. A fellow artist ( Bob) invited our Professor and his class to join him in sitting in on court cases and draw the proceedings. I am not in his class but I  tagged along anyway and I must say it was worth the trip. Try capturing people that wont stand still that are there for less than a minute.

 Judge and Bailiff

  random detainee and some young lawyers( I think) 

   Victim  and Defendant

Last one just a sketch of my professor lol

As I said I had a fun time and like to thank Bob again for inviting us to draw with him
