Grandma Pat

My Grandmother

My grandmother passed away this weekend, early Saturday morning.

Going to miss you a lot, Grandma!

Orange Dragon

The first art piece of the new year. And it's a dragon painting! Fitting I upload it now, seeing that today is the start of the Year of the Dragon.

A simple dragon, in Charizard colors, as it was later pointed out to me... :P

Bean Bag Torture!

Final animation for this semester is done! I put this bean bag through hell!

Kind of low quality, but you get the idea.

Bean Bag Walk Test

I made him move! It needs a little refinement, like a few more inbetweens added in some places.

Bean Bag Walk Studies

My final animation is a bean bag animation. I needed to get him to walk so I did some quick studies. Thought it would be fairly simple...wrong! I couldn't make his "legs" move right. And his top half was kind of going all over the place. I didn't want to see him at a side view either. I was silently wishing my paper was longer horizontally so I could keep drawing left to right...

I finally figured out something that might work with the last two bottom rows of drawings. I came up with a basic shape that would work for his "head" that could be repeated for every drawing, kind of like a rounded square. I also decided to have his feet get squished by his weight as he is pushing off the ground as he takes a stride.

Florist Hands

MY HANDS!!! THEY'VE BEEN SEVERED! D8

Those are my hands, at work.

Graphite and red colored pencil on 18x24 drawing paper. :)

Portrait

Portrait of one of our models. Done in charcoal on 18x24 gray toned paper, then trimmed down slightly. This was done within two 2 hour class periods from a live model. It was one of the most interesting and fun drawings I've done.
