I have a blog. This is definitely a new experience for me. Not to say I'm not one for documentation, but I've never done anything like this before. However, I have been wanting to create a profile for my artwork for quite some time. Thank you Illustration/Art 219 for giving me the chance to take action!
Speaking of such, the content of this blog will be primarily an online showcase for my class work here at Truman State University. However, in my spare time (hahahahahaha! . . . *ahem* sorry), I hope to intermittently insert other various pieces of artwork that I have done previously. These may be from past college art classes, but I also hope to have a few personal favorites of mine--drawings and projects that were only wistful fancies before the dream of becoming an art major was attainable. :)
So, without further ado, I will commence! This first series of drawings is the first homework assignment for Illustration. Ten observational drawings, all focusing on the use of line using ink. I will be the first to admit that I am a control freak. I am SO uptight about perfection, despite the fact that I know it is unattainable. For this reason, ink and I have never been on amicable terms. I like control, darn it! But from a series of doodles in the margins of notes and homework assignments throughout the years (don't tell my professors XD), I have come to adore the messiness and permanence of ink. Though I am still tight as can be with my artistic style in my strive for realism, I am trying to embrace other styles, work quickly as well as accurately, meet deadlines, and be efficient without losing the personal spirit of my work. It is going to be a long road ahead, but I'm ready. At least, I very much hope so. ;)
