An Organized Room


I did these drawings because I was bored and felt like drawing something. These are both in my best friend's bedroom. I really enjoyed drawing both of these because I really took my time and concentrated. My roommate and I were having a good ole time just talking and listening to music while each of us were still doing work. Now that I have a sketchbook (or two!), I like to find just about anything and just draw it!

A Pencil Box




This particular project was to design a well-crafted box to hold pencils. I decided I wanted to make something very clean and simple. I concentrated more on making straight edges and clean corners. As you can tell in my pictures my first iteration had a tray to hold pencils. My original plan was to make little sections to hold various items, but I thought that made the box too busy. For my final box, I chose to use textured pale green paper. I liked how the color looked on my box..not too much, not too little. Then, I decided that the pale green was too simple, so I added a patterned paper with a touch of color on the inside. It sort of is a surprise when you open the box because you wouldn't expect the patterned paper! I really enjoyed making this project...and plus, I am planning to use my box for my own person use=)

Watercolor



Lately I have been using watercolors on some of my drawings. I have really enjoyed this..just how the colors look on the paper and how the colors make the drawing look so well.
I drew my bag in class one day while I was sitting around and thought it would be cool to give it some color. I think the colors made the drawing look totally different. The top picture is of a woman that was on my prismacolor postcard. I really love how the colors look, so many different shades. I also like how the pen marks look with the watercolors! I think I did a successful job!

Place for an Egg







For this particular project, we were to choose any kind of egg and decide on a quality that the egg showed. Then, we had to make a place for the egg out of just paper. This was meaning no glue, no tape, nothing but just paper. I decided to focus on the shape of the egg. I rounded the edges to mirror the curves of the egg.

Where are my keys??


At the beginning of class today we had to draw our keys. I had a really fun time drawing this particular assignment because I actually concentrated hard on the detail and lines of my keys. It makes it easier for me to draw when I can look closely at an object and get a good view of the details! I have so many little things on my keychain, I thought it really helped this drawing.

Upside down bicycle?

I thought that drawing a bike would be sooo hard, but actually it wasn't that bad. Once I got into drawing the bike, I really enjoyed it. I really concentrated on the details and I think my drawing turned out pretty good!
