Keys


7x5
This is another work in my concentration. I think that the clip turned out really good, and the blue line in the background adds a nice difference with all the organic shapes. I don't really like the way that the gray keys turned out though. I felt the paper would not let me blend in as well, which was something that I could not fix.

Thirst


This is my latest 9x7 prisma color. I focused primarily on finding a new interesting subject matter that had a lot of reflective properties. I chose to go with a bottle that was staved by a knife. I really liked the way the puddle turned out, and overall I was pleased with the bottle. It was difficult to apply the prisma to the surface though, I don't know why that was, but that had a negative effect on the overall drawing potential.

Progress

Any words of wisdom? I'm stuck at the at moment. It's really hard to add white to the bottle, so anyone wanted to suggest that I tried but I could not achieve it.

Calm in the fight


This is a11x9 work I created that was highly influenced by what Sarah showed me. As can been seen, it follows similar patterns in the pack ground, and I created it using water color. I then had to show my drawing skills, so I put a boxing glove in the diamond at the left. I drew it with prisma color, and the contrast between the red and blue I think really stand out. Over all I was really happy with this. I tried a lot of new techniques and it helped me to better understand design students, and also people that are in between design and drawing.

Speed

This is an experimental 8x8. So i took the style that Sarah is using right now, and added my own guy touch to it. It looks a lot different then what I normally look and honestly I am not really sure how I feel about it. It seems to be somewhat an expression of me but in a way it is also not. It's conflicting I know, so I hope people will comment and tell me what they think. I used prisma colors and water color.

Tools

This is a 10.5x6 drawing of tools. I created it with prisma color. I don't know how I feel about this at this time. I liked how the hammer turned out but everything else just seems ok to me. I tried to make it look good but the subject matter wasn't working for me for some odd reason. I really like the brown in the background.I feel the shadow under is not showing as much as on the actually work.

The one

This is a 9x6 prisma still life. I tried to change it up a bit by making the bottom right busy, yet still having one focus point. Initially it was going to be an abstract work but I then changed my mind. I really liked how the blades turned out, adding the blues and oranges really helped it pop. I also liked the added blue in the background to help it focus.I feel the top right might be a little bit empty.
