Figure Drawing - Fall 2012

Well, I can definitely say I improved a lot using pen (to think I used to hate drawing in pen! And now I love it). Here are some studies of feet from my sketchbook:

Pretty sure I had some other things in my sketchbook-- but I'll look for those later.

We also had to do some overlays of the skeleton on a human figure-- here's mine from the front:

We did our fair share of skeleton and muscle studies around the end of the semester. Here's a skeleton study from behind. This helped me understand how to draw a ribcage a bit more accurately (but they're still a pain to draw).

More 2D work, hoo boy

So I figured why not post more work while I can? So, here we are...

Unity

Created the top portion in the project before this one-- an abstract work demonstrating rhythm. We had to take that abstract piece and create something from it that was...well, not abstract...?
.....So I did a tiger in the grass. The shape of the face is odd due to me trying to let the tiger occupy a certain area. Could have done better with the grass.

Alright-- I guess since my first semester is over at Ringling we have just finished our second week for the Spring 2012 semester....I should post stuff I did during the first semester?

First up-- here's some 2D Design work:

Contrast

This was the first project we did. We had to create a couple of abstract shapes-- both geometric and organic. We cut out various quantities and different sizes for those shapes and had to design the outer panels of this triptych. The left side with purely organic shapes and the right side with purely geometric shapes. For the middle panel, we had to connect both pieces by using any combination of shapes that we had already used.

Balance

For this project, we had to create silhouettes of people and things and use them to create a 16:9 scene. Then we had to take those same elements and make a different scent out of it. Bonus points if it went with the narrative. Mine being something vaguely resembling a zombie attack from different angles.
