Module 5 and 6

I'm late again. To catch up I'll post my homework for 2 weeks.

First up is this drawing of a head for Module 5. I sucked bad on it, the mouth is totally wrong and my values leave something to be desired. The drawing we copied from was a lot darker than this. I actually received a decent grade but I don't know how.

For Module 6 we were supposed to concentrate on positive and negative shapes to find our forms. I used charcoal and General's white charcoal pencil on grey Canson paper. I'm pretty happy with this one, she has a few problems, but on the whole, I'm satisfied. I also seem to be able to find my forms a little faster, this only took me about 3 hours. I remember doing a lot less in a lot more time.

Enjoy!

I've been bad

I haven't updated in quite a while. The truth is I haven't done anything in Figure Drawing that I thought was post-worthy. Were not even going to talk about English. So, here I am and week 4 of my second semester is over and I need to post something. Here are a couple drawings I did last week. I'm not too happy with them, but I guess they'll do.

Final Grades are in!

Well, the first semester of school is over. I actually got good grades, an "A" in Photography and a "B+" in Analysis of Form, my basic drawing class. Spring semester starts Jan 26 and it looks like I'll be taking Figure Drawing and English Composition.
So far my experience with The Academy of Art University is great!
I'm working on a drawing right now and I'll post it when I get done and give it to the person it's intended for. They don't know I'm doing it and they check in here from time to time, so I don't want to give it away with a WIP.

Module 15 final, DONE!

That's it. My first semester of college is done.

Module 15 last update

This is the last update before I finish this, hopefully, that will be tonite. Still some general cleaning up to do, fixing outlines and such along with finishing the dragon. A little work left in the bottom right and doing something with the background. 4-5 hours tops.

Module 15 WIP 3

All's going fairly well, but I've found some items that are going to have to be reworked. I'm still trying to decide what to do with the background. I guess I'll let the time constraints dictate how detailed that gets. Going to tackle the skull tonite, somehow blend the cheap styrofoam reference with some pics I found of a real one. 3 day left!

Module 14 & 15 WIP's

Final project for Analysis of Form class. Using charcoal and white chalk on grey paper. Another new thing for me, I've never used colored paper before. So far so good, I'm really liking how this is turning out.
