I can’t remember what this unit was about, but here are some sketches that I later painted over. They didn’t turn out well.
The figures by themselves still look pretty cool, though. Just imagine pretty clothes and backgrounds and strawberries-heads.
All three were painstakingly drawn, erased, redrawn, tossed, rethought, and adjusted in pencil before I traced them in either GIMP or Illustrator (not sure because I never use GIMP and I don’t have Illustrator). I learned that arms are awkward. Hands are awkward. People are awkward.
I thought for a while that I wanted to do art professionally, in illustration or graphic design. I’m shooting now for a Master of Accountancy degree, but who knows. Psychologists and Human Development researchers say that adulthood starts around 25, so I still have a few years to fudge around with life.
Over the summer, I took a class for 2-D design and I loved it. The class itself was not a teach-me-how-to-art class, more like a figure-out-what-art-means class. I learned about the idea of significant form and the principles of color and formal structure and all that great stuff. I didn’t improve execution any, but I really believe my sense of good design has grown.
Here’s my example of semi-formal structure.
