Body Work.

[104 of 157 rough drawings and sketches completed from August 30-December 19, 2011]

Earlier, I promised to post a compilation of the work I've done during this past semester. This post will be just that. I must apologize though, because it is not entirely complete. Two small paintings (an 11" x 14" plein air landscape and an 11" x 14" illustrative experiment) never made their way back to me, and I neglected to photograph them in advance. I don't grieve over their losses too much. They were nothing more than mere school assignments, and they hardly represent what I am trying to convey with my work anyway. A few posts ago, I mentioned the presentation I was giving about my artwpork: Divided. My professor told me that I delivered a flawless and excellent presentation, something she had never seen from a First-Sem student. It felt absolutely wonderful. So with that being said, I hope you enjoy my work!

Here are some favorite drawings/sketches.
