Christmas Photo

Leftovers

The topic of this peice is Leftovers. I chose to draw this picture becasue it relates to the human life. The buterfly coming out of its cacoon resembles a boy going into man hood. Just as a boy would became a man, the butterfly is emerging into the world and going out to explore it.

Rocking Chair

This is a sketchbook assignment I drew of a rocking chair in my guest bedroom. I positioned it so that you could clearly tell it was in front of the exit to the room. If you notice in the background, I left the bathroom door open. It serves as a second pathway into the picture.

Abstract Portrait

Three things I learned for this exercise:
1. You can do a paint a picture with just three colors.
2. The faster you paint, the more it will look like you.
3. A painting isn't always about detail, it it successful as long as it has your "look".

What was the most difficult thing i needed to solve to be successful?

Usually when I draw or paint I like to put a lot of detail into it. It this exercise I need to overcome this a learn to paint fast and a little bit abstract. My painting my not resemble a photo of me but at least it has my look and that makes it successful.

What was the most fun part about this exercise?

I really liked the freedom in this exercise. We weren't being graded on precision. It was fun because I didn't have to worry about nailing every part of my facial features. I liked painting abstract for once.

Christmas Ornament

This is the sketchbook assignment I did for the Christmas Ornament. For this assignment I set up a golden star on my desk and put the light to the left of it.
