starts

I am happy with how these are going so far. I am trying to incorporate more similar elements from the first one I did with the solid layers of color and similar colors.

I'm still working on this figure too. I'm happy with the gesture I want to work on the body more so it's not so much of a cylinder form. The movement is working well. I want to create more of an overwhelming feeling by making the forms swirl around the form in a way. I want to work on the values more.

I lightened the face in the center so it wasn't competing with the other figures. I'm still working on some areas of the figure, mostly the hand/arm area. Hoping to be done with this very soon.

I ordered a few frames today. I was really nervous about them because they were very expensive but I'm pretty sure it will be worth it, should know in about a week. I have continued working on the same pieces I had for the critique and I have started on a third.

Getting Started

This is a piece I started last semester. I made a lot of changes to it since then. I liked things about this and didn't want to just give up on it. I think I worked out the things I didn't like before. I'm still working on the sketching elements but for the most part I think this is close to being finished.

New Semester

I am planning to continue with the same style I worked on last semester. I'm going to keep with the ideas of mental struggle and survival. I will continue to add sketches into each piece. To create the organic forms I plan to continue using manipulated photos and I would like to try scanned images and some different ways to create color and texture.

End of the semester

Overall this semester went well. I am happy with what I have done. I tried something new and pushed myself to experiment and I think I was successful. I am looking forward to next semester and building on what I have done so far.
