POMM4

This was the last People On My Mind of the summer

(me i guess, some boy i used to know, someone who used to be my best friend, someone who seems out of place, and someone who's really special)

Sleepy Lemurs

I acknowledge that digital backgrounds are one of my major weaknesses.
For my Biology class, we have to study an animal that fits our current unit, draw orthographics of its skeleton, and do an illustration of said animal.

We can use any medium we want, but my Bio teacher warns us not to do digital because we haven't finished out first photoshop class yet, and if our photoshop teacher were to see them, they 'wouldn't get a passing grade'.

I got a pretty low grade on this, but that's partly because a series of unfortunate events made me turn it in late (my computer at school blue screened as I was submitting it and by the time it booted back up again, I was five minutes late).

I took it to my photoshop teacher after though, kind of disappointed. I asked how I could become a better environment artist and had a good long talk; I haven't had the chance to use what he taught me yet, but I'm excited anyway.

(and for the record, my photoshop teacher said, "if I were your Bio teacher, I would get this a professional grade" so... cool.)

Rotisseries

Okay, and an assignment I didn't care for.

Advanced figure drawing again - the same week as our sequential drawings, we had to draw a figure drawing model in a rotisserie. Wasn't my favorite. Wasn't my week. 

Sequential Drawings

More advanced figure drawing homework! 

We had to pick two actions and do sequential drawings for them. I chose a diver and a girl doing a handstand.

Cafe Drawings

The first week of the semester, my advanced figure drawing teacher sent us out to do 50 cafe drawings in a week. It was super fun!

It helped me get back into the habit of carrying my sketchbook everywhere and seeing opportunities of drawing people/things. My friends and I took some time everyday to just sit in the school cafe or to go to the mall to draw people.

I feel like this assignment really pushed me, but I don't know what I got on it. My figure drawing teacher is new and doesn't know all of the policies yet (which includes giving us our grades after so many days of turning it in). Regardless, here are some of the 'best of's
