Sunday Model Session.
Happy post-thanksgiving! This is Gracie, our model today. She's a little person and very very nice. It was one of the first times we all talked and laughed and listened to music while drawing... the atmosphere was very light. I practiced painting, this was only 3 hours and I spent a lot of time on the drawing part (trying to be patient and whatnot) But I was pretty pleased with it aside from some of the thicker outlines..

jellies!

I was quite entranced by the jelly fish today. Damn, all the colors are SO amazing after collaging and analyzing them all semester long. Makes me want to paint...kind of.

Double self-portrait.
I tried to be a bit more patient with these. Used natural lighting for the first time on the left..pretty challenging. We'll see how tomorrow goes. I'm going to use it as a basis of what to do with myself next semester.

Went to school early today (if noon is early..) Painted a portrait for a few hours, then across the hall for the Model Session. Still debating what to take next semester...I want to cram in as much painting as I can before I go away for a whole year, but then again I don't want to completely burn out...But my Color Theory class is going to the Aquarium tomorrow yaay :D

Burn Burn.


OK! My second attempt at a dual self-portrait (hopefully Yu Ji will not laugh this time...) I look a bit funky in the first one..but I was told that I looked super tired and like I'd been crying excessively all that day. Woo. I'm not sure if I got the shadows right on the 2nd one, but I worked pretty hard on them.

AND then, Sunday Model Session. It took me a while to get into drawing mode, but we had a lovely model and I was pretty pleased with my last one. Now...off to the land of color theory!

Life Painting Midterm (ick)
This was my midterm, I only spent 2 nights on it, and wasn't too pleased with the outcome. My forms were clear, and I managed to keep my colors fairly un-muddy, but there is still sooo much to work on! And I can't believe there is only a month or so left until finals. Crazyness. Rush rush, learn learn, spit it out.

Stuff! (and 200th post?!)

OK. I have a lot of stuff (well, some) from the last month or so...But I am too lazy to post it all now. So here are my latest things, a sketch of Yu Ji drawing the model from Sunday, and my dual self portrait homework. I did the one on the left late last night, and the one on the right in between my classes this afternoon. This is me saying I am not satisfied with them. My nose is weird! But ahhhhh, I don't care right now, I am soooo tired. And now that I am blogging again, I can complain about it all!
