S.A.T.U.R. DAY! Night!

Right so its saturday and I'm bored so I'm working on some stuff that I started like a month or so back.. Frankly I think its all rubbish but other parties are telling me I ought to post it anyway. So off I go then... Over the summer I was lucky enough to acquire a Wacom tablet, which is a glorious invention.. anyway a friend was asking if people would attempt to draw the characters from the book he was writing.. well being that I need practice drawing people I decided to give it a go.. I read in one of my drawing books that if you want to learn to draw people you should look at comics and manga so I did and I've gone on a spat of drawing with that style.. so behold

This first image was sort of a roughing out of the characters shape and such, so I didnt really bother to get to involved in it..



This second one is a more refined idea.. I still dont really care for it but figred I'd post it anyway..

Pathways part 2

To follow up with my original pathways post are my 2 final drawings for my group project. One is a node namely the corner or Elm and Mcgee where natty greens is. the other is a landmark, the Nathaniel Greene Statue.. Which by a staggering coincidence both involve the same person in some way.. odd, anyway, behold my creations please give me criticism. I tried a few things that I read about in "Sketching and Rendering Interior Spaces" which by another coincidence I bought last term for my own reference only to learn that one of my professors requires it for his lecture..

IAR 201: Path Vignette

Our first studio project this term. Our project was to find our way from our homes to a location, I recieved the greensboro historical museum. Being that the museum is only a few blocks from my flat, I decided that wouldnt it be grand if I made a path that took one by all the historic sites of the downtown area of greensboro. With the end result of you arriving at the Greensboro Historical Museum.

Summer Drawing

Right, I've been away now for.. A long time, a thick layer of dust has settled on my blog, but I'm back and I'm blowing all the dust away.. Now that I'm moved in to my new flat, as well as having a new scanner to scan in drawings I can finally get around to posting all the things I've been working on this summer.

First Up a Sketch of the Building I spent most of my time in, GSRB II on Duke Universities West Campus


A sketch of my once again messy desk, I did this one on a day when it was rainy and so I couldnt really bother to go out to draw unless I you know, wanted to be killed by rain.. But since I do not fancy death by rain I decided not to


Same day, rainy and dreary so I decided to draw the living room, the chair is the only thing I dont like about this drawing but ultimately I think it was to just keep me from being completely rusty when the new term began.



A friend and I decided to enter this drawing thing on a website and the first was to draw your favorite videogame character well I chose Joanna dark from the Game Perfect dark, unfortunately it looks like I did this drawing in the dark so lets just move on..

This drawing I spent 2 days on, really just 2 hours, because thats how long I had for lunch, its the building across from mine, and looks rather like mine, but thats MSRB I or II I cant recall, but it also houses the Human Vaccine Institute so go figure..



This was a drawing I did on my first day of work because they told me they didnt have anything I could do with out a computer and to occupy myself so I sat about and drew for abit...



This is one of the last drawings I did this summer as it was nearly time to move but its a co-worker of mine, hard at work.. I myself was not that hard at work but whatever..
