one more week


Charcoal doodles of some magazine pictures.
Top is actor, Anton Yelchin. Bottom two are Burberry ads.
I believe all three are from an ELLE magazine, but I'm not sure.

ONE MORE WEEK OF SCHOOL!

faces





Imaginary people seem to be more interesting than real ones. I love how easily charcoal spreads and smears. I think it's the most gorgeous, free-flowing, and easy to control medium I have ever worked with.

Though I have to admit my drawing skills with no references are improving, I'll try to draw some actual humans soon.

fresh start

First thing I have ever painted/drawn that I am continuously proud of. Charcoal and watercolor. Still-life of a cowskull and a little rocking chair set up in my art class. There was originally a human skull between the two, but I opted it out because of lack of space. First project of the school year. I really think SOCSA has made a difference.

I (my parents more of) bought a nice big frame from Ikea for it. Turns out the glass is not very good quality, seeing as it cracked. Exchanged it and after being very careful with it, it's sitting on my dining room table. I don't know where to hang it.

go

charcoal and Prismacolor
I think it's rather funny how I had wanted Prismacolors for the longest time, but ever since I bought them, I haven't used them much.

It turns out I don't really like coloring.
