well...

so it's day two of this thing, i guess im having trouble keeping my values straight. i need to be a little more clear on whats reflected light and whats cast shawdow, ect. any way, it's only day two.

i'll try and work on getting some quick times videos of my animations up.

thanks for reading sydney, danielle, jake.

some wacom, and some class work

so, i don't quite remember why, bu when i posted those three pictures i was in a hurry for some reason...anyway, the one on the left is something out of my analysis of form class. i like doing these kind of progress photos. it's a female torso. obviously. and it's in it's beginning stages. this is supposed to take me about 12 hours to complete( four classes of 3 hours). so hopefully i wont mess it up. i have some proportion changes to make. but...it's going OK.

the other two are take one of wacom tablet learning...but I'll get there, even if it kills me...or some one else. but i do like balloons, i don't know why, but there's just something about them that takes over my imagination.

anyway...


great! see you later.

some wacom, and some class work

New Post-it's!!!

Decent ones!!

who's that?

awkward arm position. and even thought i did some cheesey, splatter mark things, it's one of my favorites.






and yes sydney, i will post more recent work...gosh.heh. but don't you like this one?

my precious skate board

i think this may be one of my most favorite pieces of art i have ever created... and i seem to love big balloons .


why did i do it Sydney? i let the balloon go.

a few watercolorsesses from mostly last year.

this one is a mallard duck that i stole a shot of when in Hawaii. i later made this bird into a final for watercolor. I'm happy with it for the most part. i feel like the dirt and the feathers were over looked to much. and it just kinda becomes blah. but it's not so bad.


this one i can call my second great watercolor achievement...i guess. this is also from a photo i took while visiting Santa Barbara mission. i kinda got lazy near the end of this one too... bad habits...






a squash study!! from life of course. i just like the shape of pumpkins and squash.
the sense of light is awful in this one.




this one i photographed terribly. but it's actually one of the ones i like the most. i wanted to try and get the different textures of the peppers and lemons, but im happy with what it is. also because i TOTALLY made up the light source and the cast shadow.

they look so much better as tiny pictures.

after many busses

after two buss rides me and sydney arrive in Valparaiso, Chile. the most happen'n place this side of the equator. but really, it was a crazy big city, with a hustle and bustle city life and quiet streets that remind me of little towns in Mexico.

then in the city we found this little park to sit in until hunger took over. ( which had fatal consequences ). i love this bench so much because I've never seen one with the little extension for kids and their undeveloped short legs.

yet more pre-columbian stuff...

this statue is about 8 feet tall, and carved of wood. i had to stop and draw this because it was in such a dark room with only one very strong light source. that and there was like maybe 5 more around this center one which i believe is a women? it was a light study, and a awesome study.

yes i know i can post more than one picture at a time...learning...

horse doll

This was a little horse doll made of layers and layers of thread, sitting across from the mask. i thought it was really cool with it's long neck, and floppy ears. and the stubby tail...

also in the pre-columbian museum.
