ahhhhhh

I couldn't do my homework assignment because Angel isn't working right. Almost forgot to upload my sketches from the week. I've been drawing a lot lately (especially this weekend) because I was traveling and hanging out with not a whole lot to do in Huntsville, AL for a family reunion. But here's a few of my sketches..

This one was a take off of the flower I drew previously. We were reading about chaos and focal points and I decided to try and attempt to draw some chaos with that flower. As random as the objects in it seem to be, they all somehow fit together once I was done with it. Weird, huh?

The two swirly looking ones I had a lot of fun drawing. Nothing really has to be said about why I drew them. I've been enjoying drawing swirly, rounded drawings lately and that's what I came up with. The top one of these two is what I drew first and I came back to it a few days later and decided I wanted to attempt to make it bigger so I began copying it which didn't work out very well, but the design still looked cool I thought.

This is an attempt to draw the inside view of the hotel I stayed at in Huntsville this weekend. It was a HUGE beautiful hotel that was overbooked due to a college reunion of a nationwide sorority chapter and another high school reunion (I think), and my family's reunion. Although a few of us had to move to a separate hotel, we all had a great time.

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 =]
