Bones

Bones, bones, bones. I used this assignment to practice my hands for the most part. I took a dive at the book 'Dynamic Hands' by Hogarth just for fun. I really dislike the style he uses on his hands but damn, he's good. Some of the poses may be familiar from that book. I'm trying to figure out my shapes a little better since I was beginning to lose that over the summer. Also got to sketch out a baby's skull (which the med ill studio here actually has) and a jaw. Oh.. and a knee. I drew it because I especially HATE the human knee.

Sketchbook 1: More Cats

The first assignment was to draw 5 pages of something you liked in the medium you enjoyed working in. I meant to draw cupcakes but ended up drawing cats and then ocelots. I did a lot of these from reference and then attempted to use what I learned and draw from my head. I'm a little happy with some of these and terrified of others. I think I'm going to like this class though. Truth be told I have never ever kept a sketchbook (I know, I'm a horrible practicing illustrator). I'm very, VERY not use to traditional work. I'm having fun though!

Even MORE Tigers

I guess I should have posted this along with my other 'Tigers' post but I wasn't exactly thinking of this. It's been a year so I figured it was okay for me to post these up and use them around. They're the tigers I drew up for CIAS last year. They've been used all over the place and I'm always happy to see them even if they are just silly little things.

I also love drawing Tigers, still trying to figure out what to draw for my sketchbook assignment... maybe I should draw a bunch of big cats!

2009-2010

I suppose I should actually post things here that reflect my true passion. Since we're closing in on the beginning of the new school year I figured I should re-post some of the art from my older blog (which is out of commission now).This was one of the many Medical Legal assignments I did in the Spring Quarter of last year. This image shows a small hole in the heart allowing deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood to pass through and mix. There is a giant problem with this image which was greatly overlooked. I believe the heart actually belonged to an infant rather than a grown adult. The heart that is shown in this image is from an adult human. The more you know!
This image is a simple depiction of an exercise. It was later put into illustrator as a lesson on how to do line art and line weight in the program. That image is currently on several flashdrives deep within the bowels of my boxes from my apartment move.

And last but not least a fairly vague assignment on cell structure. These are cells within the Villi of the small intestine.
