Acoustic

A dragon design done on the back of a friend's guitar. One of the more interesting pieces of art I've done.

Nike

Another school project, this time concerning use of textures. I used a felt tip pen to draw the pair of shoes I was wearing, then filled in the parts of the shoes with different designs and textures. The goal was to use as many different textures as possible.

Chinchilla

Recently got back several pictures of artwork done over the course of the school year, which I will be posting over the next week or so. This is a picture of a chinchilla, on scratch board. Both my first time working with scratch board and drawing a chinchilla, so it was a learning experience. Lots of fun to do the fur detail. Even though it took a while, it was certainly worth it.

Guys and Dolls Logo Design

  

Guys and Dolls logo design for the school performance of the play. My logo didn't end up winning for the play's t-shirt design, but was still used in promotional posters around the school.

Cougar

This is a realistic style sketch of a mountain lion cub, referenced from this picture.

Bill Kaulitz

This is a project from my Advanced Design class where we found pictures of famous people (in this case, Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel) and recreated the image from pieces of wallpaper samples. I chose to do a picture of him because his hair defies gravity.

Shape

This is a commission for one of my friends on deviantART, but I thought I might as well reuse it for my homework. Anyways, there are several different types of shapes. In professional artistic terms, I mean. There are Geometric shapes, which are circles, triangles, hexagons, etc. These are shapes uncommon in the natural world. The wolf's iPod is a Geometric shape, a rectangle. Organic shapes are in common in nature, irregular shapes with curves and angles and none exactly like the other. The wolf is an Organic shape. Another two types of shapes are Positive and Negative. Positive basically means the "thing" in a picture, the fruit or person or table, or in this case, the wolf and iPod. Negative space is the space around the "thing." In my picture it's the white area around the wolf. 

Oh, and there are two more kinds of shapes. I know, it's a lot. These last two are Static and Dynamic shapes. Static shapes appear to not be moving, like the iPod in this picture. Dynamic shapes are total motion, like if the wolf was running.

Ha! I'm done! And if you read this, hopefully you learned something.
