First Advanced Digital Graphics Photos

I always talk a lot of crap about my camera.  


It's a good little camera, a Canon Power Shot - simple point and shoot- but I always seem to feel that it can never live up to my expectations when it comes to photo quality.  At least that's what I usually believe.


The lens always seems smudged and the digital display is full of fingerprints, scratches, and filled with specks of....stuff...  My photos never look decent while on my camera.  Thankfully, however, as soon as I get them on a computer, they seem like totally different photos.  I'm still a beginner when it comes to photography, but at least I feel better when the quality of my images seem a gazillion times better when uploaded for some reason.


Anyway, we had to take 20 indoor and 20 outdoor shots and use adobe Bridge to compile them into our first contact sheet....so here is mine.  :]

These were the illustrations that were due today.  :D


Pretty simple - repeat a black ink line drawing from observation - in 10 different styles.  Honestly, I had so much work yesterday before I got to the illustrations that I looked around my room for the simplest thing to draw.  I swear I was dosing off while sketching.  I like how some of them turned out, but my favorite is the really sketchy, squiggly one!  Most of these were done on tracing paper.

Finally got around to uploading these!  Had to edit the files to suit the computer first.


For our first official illustration assignment, we were instructed to create ten 8.5"x5.5" black ink line drawings from observation.  Simple enough.  I enjoyed this assignment because of the freedom to draw just about anything I wanted to or was at least convenient.  I had plenty of time to do these and therefore invested a lot in them.  My favs have got to be the earring, giraffe, shoes, my lounging suitemate, and the tv set.  I don't care too much about the others though.  Nonetheless, I think they ended up looking nice.


I'm still trying to work my way around blogger.  Eventually I'll get a good feel for it....hope so!

   

     

  

  

holy crap...

Ha.  I guess I have a blog now.

On one hand, I am extremely excited to showcase my artwork and to get creative with my page design.  However, I am also terribly intimidated by the thought of having to remember to update this for all of my art classes as well as having to find out a way to scan / photograph many of my artwork and images.  I suppose digital work may be easier to upload.  As long as I find a large scanner somewhere on campus, I'm SET!

Unfortunately, today I was way too busy running from club to club to proficiency class to meeting to club; I wasn't able to get my first ten observational line drawings from Illustration scanned like I had intended.

In the true spirit of procrastination....I shall do it tomorrow.
