Rendering!

I really enjoyed my recent drawing class exercise of trying various ways of rendering. I forgot how fun it was! I haven't used some of these techniques in a long time, and it was really liberating for me. It was super time consuming though :(. I didn't have enough time to finish this before I would fall even more behind on the exercises. We were to draw a flower, book, and cloth. The right flower actually bloomed before I could finish it, probably why it looks so goofy.

Perspective Exercise

Here are some perspective practices that I did for the class. I'm awful at it LOL. There's some 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point for you! I tried to furnish the inside of a room. I didn't realize how crooked the room drawing was until I took a picture of it. I'm a bit embarrassed LOL. BTW, I see I have a few followers. Thanks for looking :).

Acorn squash

Acorn squash done for a lighting assignment. This is an example, although not a great example, of double sourced light. I'm pretty frustrated with this, because it took a bit of time, and still didn't show the lighting well enough. I think I'm getting confused between the color of the object and the light.

For a Class

I'm taking an online art class, and the assignment was to put together some objects, toss a light on it, and draw it. I got some animal toys, an old shoe, and an apple I'm never gonna eat.

I don't think I got good light on it. I also don't think it was a good idea to use a black shoe, since it was a pain darkening the shoe and not making the giraffe look like a cut out on top of it.

Here's a little exercise I have invented for myself awhile back. It's a freehand ink on white. It allows me to just get marks down without being worried. I get to be as goofy as I want without fears of mistakes. I find I like to draw animals a lot in these.

Urfa

There was an online contest to mourn the death of a videogame game character. His name was Urf, and he was a warrior manatee. I decided to enter with this drawing of Urf's daughter, Urfa, mourning her fathers death. The contest was only 24 hours long, so I didn't have much time between that and work. There's a lot of stiff competition! Wish me luck.
