The ducks were born!

More sketches and stuff to come later.

A Friend..

has this as her default picture on Facebook and I thought it was much different than anything else I've ever seen. It shows a lot of depth and there is a very small variety of colors in it, making it very calm (as busy as the design is as a whole). Hmm.. If you turn the photo 90 degrees to the right, the audience turns into a skeleton and the lady looks like a pirate head...picasso style. I discovered this when I set this picture as my phone's background sideways so it would show up bigger and wahh..laa.. skeleton-pirate man!

I've been trying to work on my GDS proofs so I can have a good start on what to show the group tomorrow in class. It's taking a lot longer than I thought it would.. Maybe because I've been sketching and eating quesadillas. I have one proof done, except there's a few things I can't remember how to do. I'll get the help in class tomorrow. 

Anyways, here's a sketch book entry from yesterday..

I'm excited to see the little ones when they hatch. It's always really exciting and I can watch them swim around our pond for hours.

Here's today's sketch. It feels good to be able to draw and know I'll have people looking at my art (if that's what you wanna call it) .. :)

midnight boredom does this to me.

This picture was taken at Keystone Mountain in Colorado near the end of the season. I miss Colorado. I was just playing with photoshop which is why the background's all crazy.

Post #1... Not so successful

I'm having issues getting this sketch to be more larger (and more readable). I tried the image size to be 400 pixels, 800 pixels, 1200 pixels and now 900 pixels with the resolution of 72 pixels/inch.. somehow I end up with pretty much the same result. Anyone have suggestions? Did I maybe forget a step in publishing my sketch?

Anyways, I'll rewrite it here so you can read it easier. On June 17, 2009 I wrote,

"I often find myself daydreaming in any situation. Being at the start of summer classes is a big challenge. I need to retrain myself to pay attention for long periods of time [once again]. Not to mention these summer classes are 2 1/2 hours when my classes at CU-Boulder are between 50 and 75 minutes... Pretty big time difference.

......Back to dreamland for now. Goodbye...."

Well, if you have suggestions let me know. Hopefully I'll do better at keeping up with this blog after this first week. I've been drawing some decent sketches for my low skill level that I'd like to publish here. I also intend to begin publishing some photos I take for my Digital Photography class.

See you all on Monday. Have a good weekend =]
