project

A Bunch of stuff

This quarter is now over. It was harsh and I don’t think I did too great, but here’s some stuff that I did:

First up: the god damned self portraits. We had to do like one of these a week. I got so tired of drawing myself that I couldn’t even look in the mirror.

These next 6 pictures are from a single class. We had a substitute teacher cause our teacher had broken his collar bone while snowboarding. It’s awesome to note that while he was out snowboarding and having a good time, his students were at home, stressing out about getting their projects, for his class, done. Our substitute was the other teacher for concept design. Our teacher, at the beginning of the semester was given the task of teaching our class, which he had no idea how to do. So when we had our substitute teacher, and actually learned things, it was awesome.
He would give us 20 or so minutes to draw something he told us to draw. The first time we did this we had to draw: a chef, a sprinter, and a soldier. We would walk around the class after each drawing and vote for who had the best work.
Then we sat down, brainstormed some ideas, like personality traits, appearance, etc. Then we drew the same things we had drawn but with these constraints. First we did the chef, with personality and appearance traits. Then we did the runner with the same, but had to choose to base it on a football shape, a cube, a sphere or a pyramid shape. Then we did a brainstorm for a soldier, and were told at the end of the brainstorm that we had to draw a soldier without using any of the traits that were written up on the board.
Enough of my blathering on, here is the first attempts at drawing the chef, runner and solder.

And the second wave, with constraints and rules.

And this last picture is from a class. The teacher wrote on the board, “football player, water bottle, wearing no. 43, after a hard game.” And we had an hour to do 20 thumbnail sketches, 5 roughs, and 1 final image. This is the final:
