Elsewhere, elsewhere

The sketches above are from a very surreal place called Elsewhere. Elsewhere is a place where artists from all over come and live for a couple of months. They create artwork that is inspired by the items within. When I first walked into Elsewhere, I was very overwhelmed. There was stuff EVERYWHERE. While looking around, a lot of childhood memories were brought to the surface of my mind. There were toys of all kinds, as well as miscellaneous items, stacked to the ceiling.

We went to this strange place a couple of different times, and each time something changed in the room. Elsewhere almost took on its own personality. This is the reason that some of my drawings have the same statue rabbit in them. I took the rabbit and moved it to different locations, which symbolize the ever-changing appearance of Elsewhere. All in all, this is a spectacular place and I cannot wait to go back!

surRENDER!

EUC Presentation

Project objective: Visually analyze assigned building. My group got the lovely Elliot University Center. This building is built in what looks like the style of Modern Classicism. Inside is a grand entrance, which consists of a circular foyer, which flows over to a column-lined hall that leads to a massive double-sided staircase. The Elliot University center is one building that every student on campus knows about and goes to often. It was a pleasure to draw it and create diagrams based on it.

Sketching at a concert

My friend, Ben, and I went to a Baroque concert in downtown Greensboro. When I got there, I had the overwhelming urge to break out the mini-sketchbook and just start drawing. I can finally start to be proud of my drawings now. yay :)

Charlie's Cafe

Suzanne, our awesome teacher, decided that our next assignment was to go to a coffee shop and do some drawings. This was my favorite assignment yet. I ordered some coffee (a Rose Mocha...soo good,) got cozy in a squishy armchair, whipped out my sketchbook and started sketching. I really love how I draw when I'm interested in the subject. The atmosphere of a coffee shop is so warm and charming. Oh, I wish we could always draw coffee shops..although I'm sure I would develop a caffeine addiction.

Architectural sketching techniques

I like the quality of the lines in this sketch, drawn by a firm called TaStudio. I can tell they aren't done with a ruler because they are spaced unevenly and not all mechanically straight. But I like the way it all looks together.

This picture, drawn by Nadir Kianersi, has a cartoon quality that I really enjoy. The lines are very clean and slightly curved where they should be straight.

This is a gesture of Cinderella's castle in Disney World, done by Alina Chau . It looks very cool from afar and when I look at it closely, I can tell that it is really easy to do. the lines don't all connect, but my mind puts in what is supposed to be there.

God is in the Details

Cluttered sketches!

Whatta Mess!!

Here is a sketch of a part of my messy room. I think if i was there more, I would care about cleaning it up. But I live at the studio, pretty much....so my desk is clean. At least my priorities are straight!!
