I am extremely proud of my camel. This is coming from someone who cannot remember the last time she drew an animal, specifically a camel. I kept Captain Skully at minimal detail. Drawing skulls is still a challenge for me, but I am looking forward to watching the demo for these two images.

Obviously, I am not yet good with values. I will continue practicing, of course.

Excellent! I saw a snippet of this interview in another video and was hoping I could find it. And here it is!

I began this assignment by attempting to draw the boxes in the same orientations as the image above. I need much more work on drawing boxes in space given these are lacking. As for the arrows, I did my first page of arrows in random orientations using illustrated vanishing points. I did my second page of arrows using a technique I have been learning on how to guesstimate the vanishing points of a box to better assume the object’s place in space. I did not use the blob approach at all to draw any of the boxes, but I may practice doing so and then extrude my arrows as a warm up exercise outside of this assignment.

I had to stop and rationalize about which orientation of a shape is the correct one to begin indicating lines.

Kept it simple. The second and third pages are my preliminary drawings.

Rushed through this a bit unfortunately, but still enjoyed the task. Mal-pal = my old high school nickname hahaha!

I used my pencil sharpener as a reference for this assignment. I am noticing how some of my passes are off model. It was admittedly hard not to refer to different sides of the sharpener in order to get a better understanding of the form, but I prevailed!

I did these blobs the other day and am pleased with how I am already noticing form in everyday objects! I was new to this technique and wanted to give it a good try before doing the actual assignment. Blobs are honestly so fun! With these first passes, I wanted to do at least ten of them. I analyzed each one a bit while turning the images into a JPEG and noticed all the errors I made this first go round. Everything is a learning experience!
