Briana sketch, Spanish & GD Art History class

::new art: brianna

I did this drawing of Jamaal's cousin a little while ago. She's a very cute little girl, extremely energetic.

I just got back from morning classes—Spanish and History of Graphic Design, respectively. Spanish is ok. But art history is a bit more of a chore. The professor is very interesting, but I don't think he's aware of what time class is supposed to start, because he was like, twenty minutes late today. He's usually about ten minutes late everyday. I don't mind much though. I stay amused by listening to the conversations of the people around me. You tend to find out a lot by just listening.

Art Progress: figure drawing

Art is still making me broke. Word to the wise: Never go get your digital camera pics developed in the machine at Kinkos.

With that said. . .I have a couple of new pieces of artwork. They are some drawings I did in figure drawing. Correction, I have just one drawing to show you from that class. . .the rest are hanging up in the classroom.

Buying art supplies is definitely going to break me.

Wednesday I went to Alabama Art Supply to buy a compass for my Intro to Graphic Design class. The cheapest one with an adapter for my $30 rapidograph pen was $12.95, so I bought it. I get to my class on Thursday and start using the thing, and it's really crappy. So I decide to return it and get a more expensive/better one. I get to the art store and realized that I have the receipt, but that I've left the compass at home. So I have to drive all the way back in lunch-hour traffic, and then go back to the art store. I ended up getting a different compass that was about $8 more expensive—but it works. Plus, it came with some extra parts. So, I'm broke, but I have a compass that better last a lifetime.

Y'all may remember when I posted a pics of the Stevie Nicks piece in progress. Well I finished it about a month ago, so now you guys can see how it turned out. The other sketch I did of my younger sister at the Wafflehouse. I think it turned out rather well considering I was shading with a mechanical pencil. :P

Enjoy.

Sorry for the lack of updates you guys. I've been busy w/ school. Two days a week I've got three studio classes that are 2 hrs 45 min. a piece. That's lots of fun, lemme tell you. Actually, the classes aren't that difficult. They're just long. But the good thing is that it's a pretty laid back atmosphere. For example, in figure drawing, we get a break every 20 min. when the model needs a break. I'll try to get some of those drawings up. There's too big for the scanner so I'll have to go w/ the digital camera once more.

The season is about to change, so a redesign should be up sometime soon. . . .sometime. . .
