Choice Project

This was my final choice project. I chose to do a portrait with characteristics based off of Robert Downey Jr. I did it in a black and white format with lead and cut down my paper by half. This was a challenge as I never draw people, so I took on a new obstacle. 

Pen and Ink

Pen and Ink

This project was designed to take liquid ink and portray a figure of our choice. We got a stick and sharpened the edges to create a "brush". I chose to create a lipstick bottle and to apply slight shadows and 3-D textures. 

Still Life

Still Life Portrait

This is my still life portrait. We had to pick at least a few items that had an essential meaning to us and any other items we would want to add. Our goal was to look from observation and draw what people know as "still life". I used a charcoal based medium with various blending stumps and incorporated a cleat, shin-guard, lamp, a small necklace, and an inhaler. The only revision I would suggest is to add a background or to portray a surface for myself.
