Bottles! Bottles! Bottles! and maybe another bottle?

Well I am trying to stay true to my word that I will update this blog at least a few more time before the end of the year. This time I am showing off yet another class assignment in its completed form. The assignment involved me and my fellow classmates to gather in groups and draw these bottles in graphite pencil. There was a single primary light source coming from a little to the right of me so that is why there is very little shadows.

One other thing I had to take the pictures at an angle since the flash+graphite made a shine that ruined the view of the image.

This image kept the dark shade of graphite black I tried to get in the bottle to the left.

The image below is the my favorite between the two shots though on each image it seems to have better focus in one area compared to the other.

The Folded Paper Project

Hello people I am trying to update my blog at least like three times by the end of the year which is approaching fast.


The image below is the folded paper assignment I did in my art class. The assignment was to draw an arrow design on a sheet of paper and draw it on another nicer sheet of paper. We had to draw the sheet of paper three times: flat, one fold, and one with two folds. We got to choose where to fold on the sheet but we weren't allowed to fold more than twice in total. I also chose the composition of the image I thought it would be cool if all the arrows pointed toward the center of the sheet.
I was messing around with Photoshop the other night and my friend Grant (person in image) asked for more zombie images to which I replied I will make you into a zombie which it was meant to be in more of mocking type of voice. The image involved me adding a real head wound image into his head inverting the color of his eyes and adding a bit of blurry red to the mouth area. I also made his skin color more pale and added a bit of dark blue under the eyes. The image I used as a background is a Grant Staples original not sure where he took it but enjoy.


As always comments are appreciated

Damn My first post of 2009 is in November

Hey all you ten people that find this site by accident how is it going?
well here are some new pieces of artwork I have been working on lately

Here is a project I was working on for Art class it involved me replicating a image of my
choosing I chose to take a picture of my own to draw.



Here is something I did for fun on saturday last weekend it is scanned into the computer
it is originally on clear plastic sheet called acetate drawn using a rapidiosketch pen.


The day after that I got a comment from a friend to color it and that is just what i did
I used photoshop to color the image and it was a very quick color job maybe one day i will take the time but it is good enough for now.

I am yet again not clever enough for a title to this entry

Well first off I am still awake even though it is 6 in the morning. I am gonna go to sleep as soon as I am done posting. I drew these images right now I just had a sudden urge to draw so I put my headphones on listening to some music and just started drawing I drew other things but they weren't any good. I think the two I am posting is good though.
Once again Comments are much appreciated be it good or bad
I hope you enjoy my art thank you

This drawing I tried my hand at digital painting in photoshop as you can see it is a simply drawing but I like its simple lines and color and i am a beginner in painting.

This is a self-portrait of yours truely I drew a cartoony version of a picture I took of myself one late night awhile back. I thought a simple black outline was too plain so I added a sort of chalk smudge to outer rim.

Emperor Nate and other friends

Well In this blog entry I thought hey why not post some photoshop pics I did using pictures of my friends and what not and here they are enjoy and if you are one of these people thank you.

Beware the dark side is strong with this one
BEHOLD the power of the pencils!


I stole a picture off of dan's myspace gallery and I thought since he is in umbrella why not give him something to kill behind him and thus Dan Zombie Hunter was born.

For the rest of my friends you are safe for now but one day I will be bored oh yes and your pictures will also be messed with (evil laughter) blah blah blah

I did this for a class two semesters ago

Well I was in a class called graphic design two semesters ago and the final project was to make a billboard of a real event in history from way back when till the end of time it just had to be a real event. I was having trouble choosing a event ended up doing the Escondido Renaissance Fair I liked it and I ended doing pretty good with painting as in my opinion I suck at painting.


Well in the picture you see it is placed on my old fold up desk and a dirty shirt on the ground.
Enjoy my work

I was bored and it worked out so well

I was bored awhile back and decided to put my face on a piece of candy it just so happened I had a picture of an orange flavor tootsie pop and here we are this is the result. If anyone would like me to mess with a picture of them in photoshop please send pics and I will try.

I'm BACK!!!

After many many months I have finally updated my blog and I am sure the only person to view this will be dan as he apparently subscribed to my blog if anyone else is viewing this let me know and thank you for viewing. As for the piece of art I am displaying today it is a sculpture I created last night using a hot glue gun and 56 empty water bottles why water bottles it cause my brother has not thrown away a single bottle for 4 months and decided to make a bottle man that represents him.

This piece is shown in my brother's room in his lazy boy chair. the pack of camels and the can of mickeys in his respective hands are two things my brother does daily ha ha. the red beanie and sunglasses were just a extra touch.

Potion

In the same graphic design class I have previous talked about I had to make a magical potion label. My potion was a potion of animation which mean it brings things to life. I wanted to make it look like those old snake oil medications that look a little iffy if they would work or not. The design was simple but i enjoy how that crazy professor looks. I wish i had a pic of the actual bottle i put this on well maybe later.

Illustration Class

So I just decided to post something I am working on in my illustration class (a side note the teacher in that class is annoying) since my previous post was about my graphic design class. So in my illustration class we are going through boot camp as she puts it just basic shading, boxes, spheres the usual stuff. The pics in this post are from a assignment to do a 8in X 8in drawing. Then with the drawing make two copies and use the set of gray markers(various percentages) to color one in high contrast( white to black) and low contrast(I did it white to 30% cool gray). Anywho enjoy my art and

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE ME SOME COMMENTS

I'm Back with Jet Li

Before Vs. After Vs. After Again

Before:

I did this drawing a couple of years ago.
The lines are thicker and it is grayscale

After:

This is the Brand New Revamped drawing.
I enjoyed redoing this one the color is nice I think
and I personally like the little piggys on fire good stuff.

After Again:


This is the Redone Drawing but in
Grayscale I think both color and grayscale have
something going for them.
