Semester's End

Technically, I have one last crit on Monday, but all the work is done for that, and I’ve posted all of it before. This is how the one piece came out. You’ll notice that I’ve added line. I did this for several reasons. I’ve realized that my painting style doesn’t do my skills as a draftsman any justice, also my skills as a painter are–well, let’s be honest–limited. Additionally, I’ve really been diggin’ on Pete Hawley lately, so I’m adopting some of that… He paints such cool babies!

Also, this is how my crit wall looked for Mark Tocchet.

Lastly, this is a holiday greeting card I’m going to send out to a few people as a thank you for all the money I got for my birthday this year. $400 worth of art supplies thanks to the generosity of people, most of whom I don’t know well enough. So anyway, this was a quicky, two days from start to finish. You’ll notice the line, and you’ll also notice I’m working thinner. I’m trying to hang onto my drawing for as long as possible. As usual the photo is awful. This is only exasperated by the fact it was wet.
