One semester down....
Holy crap this semester was crazy busy. I feel like I had no free time at all (welcome to art school huh) I really tried to push myself and improve my art and I think I was successful in doing so. Id like to keep that up and also learn how to digitally paint as well. I'm looking forward to next semester. Anyways, here are some of my finals work.

Illustration Painting Final
Just in case you missed my older post:
My painting final. Basically what I did was painting of five portraits of soldiers of WWII, specifically five men of Easy Company. Why these five veterans? For the past few years I have become interested in soldiers' stories. The unique experiences whether they be good or bad and the strong bonds that no one can ever hope to understand unless they have been through what these soldiers have together. I have read and I own each of these soldiers' memoirs and have found myself inspired by these particular five men. These five soldiers are Richard (Dick) Winters (May he RIP), William "Wild Bill" Guarnere, Donald Malarkey, Buck Compton, and Edward "Babe" Heffron. I placed these paintings in a photo album that included old photos of the men, letters, stories I have read, and patches. I want to create this album not because I feel I know them, but to reverse the albums purpose as a way to get to know them and to dedicate this book to those great men and all other veterans.
For where I began in this class I think I have come a long way and I am happy on how these came out. (I'll probably post photos of the entire album so you can see the final product)

For the Illustration final we had to create an image of a special place to us. I chose to digitally paint the waterfall my sisters and I would play at when we were younger. Even though it was a tiny waterfall it still had a calming effect to me. This spot holds tons of memories. I wish I spent more time on the tree and bushes, but I think it turned out okay.

The Drawing final entailed drawing 7 images. I decided to just include my favorite of those 7.
An image of my hand on Bristol board using micron to create the detail. I then placed tracing paper on top and used Prisma color pencil to show my hand pain, red being the most pain and decreasing to yellow. Despite the pun, I thought this image would be pretty handy for my chiropractor. (yeah I just went there lol)
My chiropractor's poodle he and his wife wanted me to draw for them. (I actually darkened around the top of the ear and some other places but forgot to scan it)
Rachel and Alastair! My sister and her husband in an illustrator-ish style. I used watercolor and then microns for the lines.
I don't remember the intersection, but this is somewhere in Portland in the Pearl district. Experimented with line weight to create depth.
This is just a model sketch out of my sketchbook.

Time Arts Final
I created an animation in Photoshop drawing each frame in a layer (holy 300+ layers batman) found out just how much freakin work goes into an animation for such a short amount of play time. After I finished the animation I created a soundscape to play with it. I don't know how I feel about this project but other people really like it so I guess it was successful.

First some random pictures I took and then more school work.
Creepy bunny thing we see when we drive to Fred Myer
I found candy mountain in donut form. Ughh thats Diabetes right there.
My baby Tucker :>
Zoe and Danzig cuddling... kinda
Drawing homework. We needed 3 images one holding something hard edge/mechanical (spoooooon) that was done in all graphite, one with an organic object that is done in color mass tools (pastels and ink) and last a hand holding 5 objects with graphite lines and mass color.
I forgot about this, it made me giggle so I wanted to post it.
aaaah Jonathan Coulton! Drew him over my lunch break (i drew for about 10 min) Im so excited, Keiko and I are going to see him this Thursday!
Model drawing from Word and Image class
More model sketches
Tried to change up my style a bit to see what Id like.
I think this is my favorite out of all the sketches.
