I didn’t have a title for this post, because it is mainly going to consist of sketches I did in my free time.

This first piece, however, is an assignment I had for my Design and Colour Theory class. Our assignment was to make an editorial cartoon expressing our opinion. We couldn’t use any dialogue, and the only text we could use was stuff like signs (Starbucks, Safeway, etc.)

My opinion is that “Toast is the breakfast of Champions.” The image is of David standing on a conquered Goliath, eating a piece of toast.

These next sketches are for a Drawing and Perspective assignment, but they’re just practice. Our assignment is to create 20 compositions using 20 different mediums. We have to choose between fish, birds, or cats as the subject. I chose birds because you can only do so much with cats. I was going to choose fish, but we have A LOT of crows around school, and I thought it would be cool to do birds.

These two were drawn at work:

This next image was drawn at my Grandpa’s house. I was told by my Drawing and Perspective teacher that the best way to get better at drawing is to draw absolutely everything. So, sitting in my Grandpa’s house I decided to draw his Barometre.

And these last two pictures were drawn in the Starbucks at Granville and W 64th Avenue this evening. Monika and I went to Opus to get some art supplies for the aforementioned Drawing and Perspective assignment, and after that we went to Starbucks so I could work on yet another homework project (“Help, I’m drowning!”) Our assignment is to draw people in cafés. We have to draw 20 different gestures of people doing what people do in cafés. The first one I drew was a couple of women talking. The woman on the right did most of the talking, while the other woman patiently listened. And the second picture is of an Asian couple. The man is playing a game on his GameBoy, while his girlfriend/wife leans against him and watches.
