Fall 2009 - Finals

Sigh.. this semester went by pretty fast..

This was my final for Intermediate Figure Drawing class. I think this should be the last time I approach any drawing with Henry Yan's style. I will miss it.

Vine charcoal on 30"x40" drawing paper.
(used a photoref)

This was my final for Still Life class. It didn't turn out so well. The drapery looked unfinished. I did, however, enjoyed painting the three main objects.

Oil on canvas.

Later folks!
uhm.. sorry Alex for spamming your blog-search thing :P

1 week left..

Finals this week.. This is probably my only time to relax.. and of all the things I could possibly be doing right now, I chose to post a blog lol! These are all just in-class work from the past 2 weeks.. So I'll start this off with a couple of oil paintings from still life class...

One of the breasts look flatter... LOL! I only like how I painted the flowers...
(couldn't finish the background.. sigh)



From anatomy class... I had no idea how to approach these sculptures :P


And these are sketches I did during Henry Yan's intermediate figure drawing class...

Two 20's from today.. teehee~ smiley face! XD

One 20min. from today, and one 10min. from last week.

25 min. from last week. Charcoal pencil on newsprint.

And finally, 80 min. from last week. Vine charcoal on paper.

LATER DUDES! ( ^-^)v

End of week 9.. or is it week 10?!?!

Gasp! Well I just found out that it's actually week 10 because of work (lolz new "work scholar"). I was filing rosters this week that's why. It doesn't really matter, just thought this semester is going pretty quickly.

There were no assignments due for this week, so nothing interesting happened... except... I was actually enjoying my time in anatomy class (during the long pose).. I was so content during that day, I even put my initials, even tho the drawing was just so-so ^^;

80 minutes. Charcoal pencil on drawing paper.

Teehee! I had fun with this drapery, but it didn't turn out the way I had hoped (doesn't read very well). I just realized that the yellow is pretty intense on that right side (FAIL!).. :P

9th still life. Oil. In-class painting.

Later dudes! ( ^-^)v

end of week 4.. sleep.

ok.. so this whole week was uhh crazy..

had assignments due in one day after the next from all (4) classes..
(assigned 1-2 weeks ahead)
so.. i haven't slept well in 3 days/nights (total of 5-6 hours maybe?)..
but i still survived the two workshops earlier (Friday)
because drawing makes jmesohappee :) lolz.. i'm so tired..

these aren't really worth posting..
but at least i get to see my improvements (or lack of) throughout the semester..

this was for our first homework in still life painting.
i didn't realize that all my objects lacked color until almost half way through..
because the actual objects were literally just black and white LOL!
but it was all good.. instructor liked it, but suggested to work on ellipses and perspective
(5th still life painting)

this one was from class earlier.. i was sooooo sleepy (i still am) and lazy!
(6th still life painting)

LOLz! i wanted to draw the skull so bad.. but only had enough time for the femur :P

ok.. really need to sleep.. (you too buddy!)
later dudes.. ( ^-^)v

end of week 3.. grr/sigh/lolz

it's been a troublesome week for me:
getting frustrated with my figure sketches in my classes lately..
and folks have been touchy-touchy with my work
(without permission, or assume i don't mind at all)..
i like being helped.. but i wish they would not touch even my rough work..
they can do that on the side..

just a little pet peeve of mine i guess..
sigh.. i think i will be fine towards midterm..
*breathe*

hmmm.. i don't know why i made the reflective light on the
apple and pitcher red orange.. LOL ^^;
we don't have to use a limited palette in class anymore.. YAY!

later dudes! ( ^-^)v

2nd oil painting

Robert suggested to dim the areas with reflected light.
I didn't notice how bright they were until he told me.
lolz.. next time..
