College Figure Drawings 2008 (Group 1)

This is the first group in a collection of drawings from my Figure class. Drawings vary from 30 sec - 30 min and one or two 1-2hrs time limits. Most are charcoal on newsprint with a few exceptions. Many have received some sort of damage over the years while being stored away but the images are mostly intact.

[Acrylic on Paper]

Lighting color study of two invented objects in an invented space. We chose the colors of the light and the objects then had to accurately paint what colors the lighted and shadowed surfaces would be. I think my light was red based off of the orange surfaces and the purple top of the block. We used a color chart to determine the shadows.

This project started off with a drawing of a plant outside. We then had to manually design this effect (of which I have completely forgot the name) and then paint it with 5 colors.

Now this was the hard part. We had to take our first drawing and transfer it/redraw it exactly then try to do the same thing but using a color scale that matched the same intensity of the original. I obviously failed on this one as my colors came out much darker and even a bit more sloppy. This was a hard project so I was quite worn out with it.

Simple painting from observation. It was a study on complimentary colors. My school had plenty orange and blue.

Also another weird project. We had to take a box and fill it with construction paper then paint it. I think there was something i missed about only using a certain number of colors. Oh well. We then had to paint it.It was a study on color mixing and accuracy.

7hr pencil crosshatching of my shoes :) I love how they turned out. My shoes are definitely ragged like that.

Re-post of an earlier image but with better quality. This assignment was to draw only with lines and no shading.

Real animal skull :) My teacher was a collector.

Unfinished still-life. Too bad I was sick because I had really wanted to finish it.

Crosshatching apples not as fun as crosshatching shoes.

AP Portfolio 2006-2007

Here is a full compilation of my Advanced Placement Drawing Portfolio from Senior year in high school 2006-2007. I got a 5 out of 6 (yes Art goes up to 6). My concentration was Stagecraft (technical theater where we built stages etc out of wood- amazing class btw). The first 12 pics will be my Concentration and the next 12 will be my Breadth (technical study). To be honest, I was a bit uncreative in highschool and got lazy so quite a bit of these were last minute fill ins.

Oh man- It's kinda embarrassing putting up old work, but it's nice to have it there in memory of what you used to be and how you've grown :)
