10 projects

From doing these 10 projects i learned a lot about finishing work for a strict deadline. I managed my time pretty well though, by at least starting a few projects every to every other day. by the end it was just a race to finish up each of them, which was good because I'd finish one or two project every night for the last few days. I experimented with a a few of different types of media: pencil, cardboard, but mostly paint. I really liked painting too because of how you could fill a ton of space at once instead of how it is with pencil and it takes forever. I wish i had taken painting along side drawing, but what are you gonna do?
   anyways, I'm considering doing the drawing portfolio because I feel like my strong point is my drawing, but i will defiantly be painting as well. the 2D design portfolio seems to have a lot more to do with things you learn in design class, and i never took design. It also seems to me that the drawing will be harder, but id rather take the more challenging route because then ill get better.

paint!

yes, i diped back into the paint. and started painting my in motion skateboarding sketh. im using randomecolors just for the shape fr now, then im going to fade in he real colors, leaving it still look a little like the ramdom colors so it would look cool. but thats just the plan.

Cannoe time

this week i went with the group up to johns cabin to record. not a lot of recording got done, but we had a lot of fun on lake michigan. i did some skething on notes while up there, but i dont know what happened to them... but once i got home i did a sketchof a skatboarding picture, but this tim one of those time lapse photo where theres a bunch of shoots of the person in motion. its pretty cool

the month has past

and its august. woot.ive been starting to play music with a group that was called the goodkights at the time. it was alot of fun and inbetween practicing when we wote a few songs we used typwriters, and so i skecthed my typewriter one of the days we used them. im writing my own songs on guitar and ukelele and, inbetween that ive started a big colage for a final project using the skatboarding magazines. they have really come in handy.

bronze penny!?

yeah guess what i came across at work today? a dime that was somehow casted over bronze. or just really nice paint... but this dime got me thinking about how the face of the dime looked so different just from the different shading, so when i got homei sketched and rendered a face that was almost morphing with the shading.
