Semester 7 Week 14 Portfolio

so here's my final lifedrawing portfolio. i'll miss lifedrawing next semester, but i think not having it is for the best--everyone will be busy with their films. i've learned a LOT from lifedrawing these past seven semesters.. probably the most i've ever learned about art in general.

please leave comments; i really appreciate other people's criticisms and compliments!

royal agricultural winter fair 2007

okay, so i went to the fair and drew in my sketchbook. then i picked out the stuff i liked (slim pickins) and redrew them onto watercolour paper, tweaking whatever i saw fit along the way. then i gave the collage a wash and some colour.

30-minute drawing jam: nazis

the topic was nazis.

moldy life

some old stuff. i have some newer drawings that i pulled out but i haven't had a chance to take photos of them... i'll probably just post them when i have my portfolio ready (in about a week).

Debby in colour

some colour. just started today, pretty much. for the next seven weeks i'm aiming to work in colour mostly... let's see what happens.

4th year film concepts

blob-pigeon pharoah about to devour the earth! (it makes more sense in context.)


not exactly what i had in mind, but oh well..

to clarify... that is an obese pigeon face down on a tongue, with crinkle fries shot into his back, and ketchup blood seeping out from underneath him. and a heat-lamp sun.

Semester 7 Portfolio + 12 other drawings

so here's my semester 7 lifedrawing portfolio. i've been lifedrawing way too much. i need to work on my film!! hahaha...

anyway, i'm pretty happy with how the drawings turned out.

3-minute:
5-minute:
10-minute:
two nudes thrown in for good measure (both 5-minute):

and some 20-minute and longer:
this one is gerry's and my favourite from the portfolio:

and two heads. heads are still my weakest point, i think!
one of ron i put in the day the portfolio was due:

that's it for that!
here are some other drawings that didn't make the cut:







here's one of ed looking like something indecent is being done to him.. but really, he's just singing.

one of murray i got the day the portfolio was due:

a 3-minute of debby i really like:
and for fun, a 30-second...

and a one-minute.

so.. yeah, now i am going to work on my film. i'm a bit behind, but for those of you who don't know what it's about, i have three words for you: morbidly obese pigeon.

Doug

just some drawings to keep this blog somewhat up-to-date. currently working on drawing heads/faces.

Year 3 Semester 2 Final Portfolio

here is my final lifedrawing portfolio for year 3. i don't feel confident enough to go into colour yet.. maybe i'll give that a try next year. i'm still familiarizing myself with the concept of shape. comments are encouraged! thanks :)
