Here are the three drawings I submitted for this module. The assignment was to draw from the perspective of looking up at the figure. The goal was to get used to the foreshortening and distortion we see from that angle. These were all done in twenty minutes.

Whew, I did a LOT of drawing today. The drawings I posted below were just the tip of the iceberg, the stuff that was halfway decent enough to show. The first image is a forty minute fabric study. The other images are all twenty minute drawings done from photographs. I was going for CIA type agent battling invading alien foot soldiers... or something.

This is a digital painting I did of a flower a while ago. I am still learning the technique of digital painting, I hope to find more time soon to continue learning it!

This was for module nine. I had a tough time with this one. We were supposed to give every part of the drawing value, I am not very good yet with laying down lots of charcoal in a drawing. This took about an hour.

Module 8, hands and feet.

This is the work I did for module seven. Each of these took twenty minutes.

Module six. This took twenty minutes.

Module five. The first one is the drawing at ten minutes, the second is the drawing at twenty minutes.

Module four. I really struggled with this one. I drew from a photograph, and I redid it over and over again, I just couldn't get the proportions correct. Part of the problem is that I was still learning how to do the complete drawing in twenty minutes.

This is my assignment for module three. The first one is the drawing at ten minutes, the second is the drawing at twenty minutes. It is all still done with charcoal.

This is my assignment for module two. Ordinarily each week is one module, but I am taking the class in an accelerated summer semester, so there are two modules per week.

Welcome to my brand new blog!! I will be using this space to put up images of work I am doing for my MFA in animation at The Academy of Art University.

Currently one of the classes I am taking is a clothed figure drawing class, so these images are all work I did for that.

Below is my first assignment. It was done with compressed charcoal, on newsprint. It was my first time ever really working with charcoal.

The first image is the drawing at ten minutes, the second is the drawing at twenty minutes.
