Self Portrait - Stencil

The stencil project was really fun, I have not completed my piece yet but I think it'll turn out pretty well.  The hardest part is thinking about how the colors will line up.  I ran into that problem already but I'll get it to work.  This project was a battle, I literally cut myself maybe 3 times while cutting out the stencils.  I cut myself pretty bad the first time and had to stop for the day so I didn't bleed all over my paper.  I hope this turns out in the end.

Self Portrait - Pencil

During this project I learned the scales and tricks for drawing self portraits.  They are very useful because it allows the features of the face to be proportional.  I like how the nose turned out and the shading under the eyes.  The eyes were kind of difficult and I messed up the value on one, so one eye is darker than the other.  I still have to finish my hair, and ears and make touch ups but overall I think it'll turn out pretty well.

Bush and Butthead

This project was difficult because it was hard to come up with good idea.  I finally came up with George Bush and Butthead from the MTV cartoon.  The actual editing of the photo wasnt difficult in any way.

iPad - Horned Bird


iPad - Apple


The first day of using iPads, Mr. Sands told us to paint/draw an apple.  The apple I drew wasn't that great.  The colors are nice but the overall shape is a little off.  However, I incorporated a table and a shadow to give a little life to the piece.  I think we could possibly use 123D Sculpt if we did some clay animation project.  We could use it to design our objects before we use the clay.
