while in class + on my break

Monday and Wednesday we had our critiques for the dining rooms we designed. I caught myself drawing a thing or two during my other classmate's critiques. I drew the bottom one during my two hour break between classes...

urban pathway

photo from here

In my visual communication class, we have been learning how to use Adobe Illustrator. For our first assignment we were to find an image of an urban pathway and use illustrator to revise the photo. We were striving to make our image more of a piece of art rather than look like a photograph. I chose a pathway that used bold colors and different variations of greys. My version of the photo uses more orange tones rather than blue.

Knitting Flowers

Knitting is very relaxing and can really "free your mind". I recently learned how to knit these cute little flowers from my aunt. I haven't knitted in quite a while--since all I would knit was scarfs--and believe me, that could get old once I had knitted 15+ scarfs! I am hoping to learn new and more challenging patterns so that I can create pieces that aren't only scarfs...

ten second scale figures

During my two hour break between classes, I decided to draw the people who walked passed me. I allowed myself only ten seconds to draw each person, kind of like the figures I did on the napkin!

drinking blind

I guess you could say I was drinking and drawing. I really love blind contours...your drawings are never right nor wrong. Plus, each drawing has a personality of its own, which allows it to always be unique in a special way! And they are extremely fun to do!
