Face Forward

What's Your Profile?

I can honestly say I enjoyed drawing these pictures. Now that I have been shown how to dissect the side view of face it is easier to draw them.

4 Drawings with People

I have mixed emotions when it comes to drawing people. Sometimes I like to and sometimes I don't. I don't like the pressure of making the picture look exactly like the person. Some of the people don't have details in their face and one of the drawings is completed because the people moved and I couldn't imagine the scene to finish it. I have to work on drawing faces.

Builidings and Trees

I was sitting downtown and had already drawn 3 pictures and was looking around for a fourth one. I was tired and frustrated when I turned to the left a little and saw these 4 different buildings all intertwined. This is my favorite out of the four simply because of how one of the buildings comes out between the trees.

Each building has a voice. Each one has something to say.

The thing that caught my attention with this perspective was the steps that I was sitting on. They each had insightful sayings on them. I wish I would have focused more in the foreground rather than what is behind them.

The Worst

I started this drawing with a clear mind. I was focused and ready, but when I started to draw things and lines just didn't turn out how I wanted them. With this scene I found that there was too much going on in the background which I obviously didn't capture.

Not So Bad

This was my first drawing of downtown. I'm not all that satisfied with this one. I definitely could have added more to the background.

Second Time Around

So I went back to draw this house and decided to add in some of the detail that i didn't show in the first one. The trees at the bottom were kind of scraggly and thin so added in the negative spaces to show that. I also took more time on the chimney trying to draw it exactly how I saw it. This one turned out a lot better, I think, because of the detail added.

My Obsession

Sometimes when I get bored in class I tend to doodle and most of the time it is my name as you can see here.

First Try

This is my first drawing of this house. Instead of drawing the buildings I noticed this house beside the Mexican restaurant on Tate Street. The chimney is red which is the main factor that caught my eye. Another thing that I liked about this view was how the side of the house was surrounded by trees.

Bicycle

When I sat down to draw this bike I wanted to scream "NO!", but I think it turned out pretty good. The assignment was to draw the negative space, but I forgot all about that and just tried to draw everything.

Hand Blind Contour

This is my hand. I don't know what to say about it, I think it speaks for itself.

The Bar Stool

When we did negative space in high school I remember drawing a stool. I liked drawing the stool because it sent me back for a little while to my high school art class. It was like deja vu.

Laundry Room Table

This was the most difficult of negative space drawings that I have done. It took a while to complete this one. It was hard to not get the table legs confused and sometimes I would end up repeating a space I had already done.

Laundry Room Chair

I had a hard time looking for things to draw in the dorm. I wanted to draw things other than chairs, but that was about the only interesting pieces that I could find.
