Evalutaion

When the semester began i was afraid for my life in this drawing class. i had no idea how to draw and i felt like this class would just rub that fact in my face. Now, i have learned so much. i feel like i have made a large improvement. I actually found that i enjoy drawing. The only problem is sometime i am not motivated to draw (why my sketchbook could be better).
I will not be returning to MCA next semester and this is the class that i will miss the most. Even though some days in class i was nothing more then a fly on the wall doing my work, i enjoyed all the people in the class.
The most challenging part about the class for me was definitely the homework. some nights i would stay up till midnight just staring at a blank page because i didnt know were to start and if i did, i would mess it up. But learning is not easy, and i believe the more a person struggles to understand and succeed the more they learn. I am glad the class was a challenge for me. i feel like i made a larger improvement as oppose to the class being easy. I did things i thought i could not do. For example, the drapery project or the one with the plants, i never thought i was going to get through those assignments BUT, i did!! and i was happy with the end result. SO WHAT if i didnt get an A on the work, i was happy with it. And its really not about the grade. it is about the journey not the destination.

Thank you Jason your a great instructor

My Rant

This morning in drawing class, i was just about fed up with drawing and never wanted to do it again. My self-portrait turned out looking like crap after i put a lot of time into it, and the still life we were drawing, well lets just say i wanted to smash it. BUT, i stuck in there, and i drew that damn thing. It ended up looking better then I expected :). This class has been frustrating for me but the more i get fed up with the crap the more i learn from it. i just wish there was an easier way to go about the "learning to draw" process.

Blind Contour Drawing

This was the easiest homework assignment ever!! The only part I found challenging was trying not to look at the paper and trying to get good line variation. I liked working with the ink the most. it looks better then the pencil or charcoal. i forgot to take pictures of the drawings but i will post them as soon as i get them back.

Drapery Drawing

I am having the hardest time in the world doing this drawing. i feel like my mind and my hand dont speak the same language. I think I am spending more time on how to start this drawing then actually doing it. It is starting to get late and i cant just look at it all day so, here goes something... im not promising it will even resemble drapery.... :(

Drawing I

I really feel I need the class. I have never taken a drawing class before (other then in elementary school) and i feel like I will get a lot out of it. I really don't have any experience in drawing, but I am putting all of my effort into learning how to. :)

Artist Search


My eyes dont stop moving all over this piece. i find myself staring at it. the texture is amazing.

The content in this one does not speak to me. I do find it amazing that its a wonderful portrait using only lines.


I love the energy in this. i speaks to me. the look on her face says fuck off, this is my chaotic place to be not yours. it also has a great scents of space.
