Colors

So I took one of my mess drawings and decided to add a little color to it and despite the scanner trying to foil my attempt the actual drawing looks quite good, not sure why the scan did not come out all that well but I figured I would share this drawing. I think I've learned to control them better the markers that is, as the bleed here is not bad, a few areas need some touching up but most part they look good. Now I suppose I should start working on my technique as the way the markers are distributing ink is very inconsistent some times. I'm not sure if it is how I'm holding it or how much pressure etc but it is really flakey.

Just as a comparison for you

Also on a side note as on Thursday I was admitted to the University of Nottingham Architecture Program. I also received a request from Cardiff School of Design for a portfolio so look in the near future for that.

Mess Drawings

All these messes came from Wesley's room, while my room has a number of messes I liked these a little better as the are kind of organized messes. They got progressively smaller because as time went on I got more and more exhausted by the drawing, it really does take alot out of you.

Art Exhibit Drawing

A few days ago we took a trip down to Weatherspoon and went to an exhibit and proceeded to draw a feature and drew it. We then redrew it trying our best to show the changes in value and make the image more three dimensional. I liked this drawing and from my understanding other people did as well which is making me feel better about it since I was hesitant about it earlier.

A Messy place

So we had to draw a mess as our first assignment for IAR 112. I like this drawing and I cant wait to do more, the layers were really fun and despite mine not being the messiest it was still a good challenge to draw.


I took my Chartpak markers later on and added some color. the bleed on these markers is really bad but all and all I still like the addition of color as it gives it more depth and character, maybe its just me. I have not been scared away from these markers yet!

The Best Laid Plans

So I had intended to draw a lot over the holiday, then reality decided to rear its ugly head as though I had been eating a delicous albeit bland grill cheese sandwhich and someone had come up thrown the grilled cheese on the ground and proceeded to replace it with a sandwich made of peas. At least thats how I remember it, anyway I was doing just fine and dandy when suddently disaster struck, on boxing day I went shopping had a good laugh little did I know that the next night, BAM like a firetruck hitting an ostrich I had this really bad pain. Tis nothing I thought (wrong), I must just be hungry (wrong again). So after about an hour of this pain which was increasing down we went to our friendly neighborhood hospital where in I learned my appendix was rebelling against my body. Well my body being the chivilrous leader it is was not having any of that and had dispatched the Royal Army down to solve the issue but the fighting had reached a stale mate. With combat stalled we turned to our only ally the surgeon people of doctors office. the cut me open removed my appendix where it was later executed and now once more all is well in the preverbial nation that is my body. I've lost track of where I was going, OH YES! the drawings... well drawing, yes thats right entire break, only got 1 thing done but you just read my over drawn and elaborate reasoning behind it, so yea, this is just all the things I witnessed while trolling about shopping malls and restraunts and book stores on christmas. I drank a lot of tea that day by the way, in fact $25 probably went to tea alone. As you can see I tried to draw people with varying degrees of success, some people look like garden gnomes while others still look just as big as life but thats not my fault. And then there is the cheesy gift card banner, Now I dont mind recieving gift cards, but I do mind giving them out as they make me feel like I'm sort of coping out what should be a heartfelt endeavor kind of like how two people agree to lunch and then the other person sends a secretary to have lunch with you. But that panera sign just made no sense to me as when I think of holidays I'm not thinking about a gift card or anything like that but thats just me.

I think this post has already become to long and would probably be funnier to you if you actually heard me reading it but yea, thats all for now I would like some cake so..
