Pumpkin piece

In this piece i am going to really try and focus on getting good composition and i want to try and focus on form in these last classes. I have had some struggles on making the pumpkin look real and not to generalize.

Reflection on Critic (10/27/09)

The critique we had gave me much help on what i should work on and how I should slow down my process. i feel that i had many good pieces and much of my work looked finished . My figure drawings were very nicely put on paper and I guess i did a good job on the foreshortening that I had to approach that day. The critiques the class does really help me and i wish next time we do a critique we could do it the same way.

Independent piece work....

In this independent study i will be focussing on conveying the message of how fast food is bad for your body. in this piece i will be using colored pencil and led pencil to create a dynamic composition and a very layered and detailed drawing. I will use a sheet of paper about 13 by 6 inch. this independent piece will be use to make me slow down my work process in order to come out with a finished piece cant wait to see the end result......

apple cutter piece 1

one thing that i am struggling with in this piece is trying to figure out what to do in the background of my image.

Something that is working for me is the detail that i am paying attention to and the composition of my piece shows that i really thought about it.
