We did portraits today and mine came out looking like Jimmy Hendrix. The model was actually female...

This is a reproduction of Johannes Vermeer's "Woman Holding a Balance." It is actually a redo of a midterm I had to do for life drawing. I took the other, (The Geographer) down because it had a horrible critique in class. Hate to look at it every time... She said "Don't take it the wrong way, but it looked like someone with Parkinson's disease did it..." Suffice to say, this one didn't have the same responses.


Here are a few life drawings I did using only charcoal on 18 by 24 white drawing paper.
Haven't really been able to listen to any notable artists these past couple of weeks. We had one lady who attempted to combine art and scientific data. What resulted was one of the most boring lectures by an artist ever. I did see Manufactured Landscapes, a documentary on Edward Burtynsky and his works. Quite an interesting film, i suggest it. Really makes you think about the cost of progress, aesthetic potential in unappealing areas of the world, and tons of other themes. http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/

I used some thumbnails from my 2-D class last semester and ended up with this. The composition came out pretty well.
