Portraiture 2012

These are some drawings from my portraiture class last semester.. 


this was about juxtaposition and a split or two panel drawing. my roommate is scared to spiders so.. 


this is a really terrible photo..



this is a self portrait i did, i haven't actually decided which way i like to hang it best because it works a few different ways.. but i think this one shows the faces the best :)

in class drawing
..this model was super weird, she kept telling us stories while she was posing.. i donno if anyone reading this, if anyone reads this, does any kind of life drawing.. but personally, when the models starts talking to you is super weird most of the time! it's like.. dude really just sit there and be still please i'm trying to draw your lips right now and you wont stop talking to me about your cats...

Alaska

I went to Alaska at the end of the summer with my family. we did the whole cruise thing. it was amazing! anyone who is lucky enough to get the chance to go see Alaska I defiantly recommend it! is was beautiful and the weather was really nice! u'd think u'd need a parka on at all times as it is Alaska, but we had mostly all sunny days :)





going to see the glacier!!




this is my brother and my cousin, we went on this awesome hike to this lake when we where docked for the day and when we found the lake the boys decided to walk to the end of a huge log that had fallen into the lake


awesome bonding times :)

back!

I haven't posted in months.. so bad. BUT it is my goal to fully update and continue posting again :D cause lets be honest I want people to see my art and an online presence is necessary in todays very connected society. so I am going to try and post in chronological order but that might not always be easy.. ok ok I'm just gunna start posting now :)
