Colored bottle drawing on brown paper

For this bottle, i used colored pencils on brown paper. I think i could have done a better job with this drawing but it turned out alright. If i were to draw another bottle i could make it much better

Room contour line drawing

I was extremely happy with how this drawing turned out. I do not like doing contour drawings but this one was fun and i enjoyed doing the details of the room. I usually dont use pens when drawing do this was new to me but it still was fun to do. 

Instrument contour line drawing

For this project we had to do a contour drawing of instruments. They were set up in a way that the contour drawing really helped to show their positions. I tjink this turned out good but i could do a better job it i re-drew it.

The crumpled paper drawing was my favorite project overall. Even though it was just a homework assignment, i spent a lot of time on it and added a ton of detail. The shading i added made this drawing very realistic because i exaggerated the dark and light spots. I started this project by crumpling up the paper and putting a lamp to the right side. I drew the outline of the paper next and drew the inside lines. after that i added shading to both the paper and the shadow of the paper. Finally i smoothed out the shadows with a paper towel. i had a lot of fun with this project.

The perspective name drawing was one of my favorite projects this semester. I added my favorite food in the background to make it my own. the first thing i did was set up my paper and planned where to put my name. The next thing i did was pick a vanishing point. i chose to make it to the right and slightly to the top. i drew my name in block letters and then drew the 3 dimensional backs to them. after i did that i drew the box of cereal and my cereal bowl. The final step was adding texture to both the letters and the cereal in the background. I am very happy how this project turned out.

acrylic landscape painting


The first thing i did during this project was choosing my color scheme. I chose orange and blue as my color scheme. I drew with sharpie what i wanted the painting to look like before i started painting. I started my painting with the sky in the background aswell as a cloud. after that i moved to the mountain which i put on top of the background. i used a variety of brushes to create this painting. Using small and big brushes made it a better painting because it gave the painting more texture. I used value in my painting by adding lights and darks to my colors. when i painted the trees. I used perspective by making them increasingly get bigger as they got closer to me. The grass that i painted turned out worse than i wanted it too but it did not ruin my painting. Overall, i wish i did a better job with this project.

pastel still life


I planned my composition by taking my items and putting them in the best looking places possible. It was a thumbnail sketch before i did the main pastel drawing. The viewfinder helped me choose which way to do my art so that it looks the best. I used shadows to make my composition have dimension by the light source that came from the left side of the art. this was my favorite project to do during the time i was in art.
