 Leaf Collage: Original We made collages, and scanned them...this is the original part of our final project. |
 Leaf Collage: Part 2 The objective here was to maintain the same value, yet create contrast through hue, saturation and temperature. |
 Leaf Collage: Part 3 The objective of this was to use the same color, and maintain contrast through saturation and value. |
 Leaf Collage: Part 4 The objective of this one was to maintain the same chroma throughout the image, but change the color, temperature and values to create contrast. |
 Leaf Collage: Part 5 This was my free study--I opted to just cut up the leaf. :) (among other things, of course...) |

 Interacting Systems 1 The first in the series; we began by overlapping perpendicular systems black and white lines. |
 Interacting Systems 2 Second step; we began "notching" or adding in miscellaneous lines, respecting the original perpendiculars. |
 Interacting Systems 3 Third part: the final black and white version...a little more notching than before. |
 Interacting Systems 4 This one's the color version of the last one, and the final step in the project. This is one sexy image. |
 Implied Shapes 1 Black and White version. The task was to imply at least two shapes in the image, making use of linear systems (see above). |
 Implied Shapes 2 The colored version of the previous image. (sorta) |
 Irregular Curves Study The task was to make a dynamic, flowing form that did not resemble the shapes from which it was made. |
 Interaction of Line We had to utilize a line, a regular curve and an irregular curve and make them relate. (Are we having fun yet?) |
 Final Project Black and White version. |
 Final Project Color Version. At this point it's certain: I do not like Illustrator. :P |

 Orthogonal Cube We were asked to create a cube out of bristol board that demonstrated symmetry and asymmetry and yet retained a cube-like shape. |
 Monolith This is a form that's designed to "interest the hand." It's made of wormy soft maple and required a hell of a lot of sanding to get it as smooth as it is! (This has got to be one of my favorite projects that we did.) |
 Mouse & Dragon Animation This took a while but it was really fun to make! It's about 20 seconds long, so I hope you've got a fast connection! (Requires Quicktime. Created in Cinema 4D) |

 Cut-Away Cube We were required to make at least 8 cuts from a cube...this was the first bit of creativity we were allowed to show! :D |
 Anti-Opisthodomos Our final project for the line drawing section...I enjoyed this. We had to incorporate each shape at least once, and could make cuts into any of the shapes. :) |
 Final Project This was a still life of several clay figures I made...I think it's cute. :) |
 Box Composition This was the first composition of the quarter...we had to use at least 3 boxes. Ooo..I'm an overachiever; I used five! Hmm... |
 Glass Composition This was a late-night project. (I've had many of those this quarter...) This was kinda fun though...playing with light is always interesting. Prismacolor Pencils |
 White Ribbon I really like how this one came out. This is one of those "accidentally creating form" pieces. Ooooooo... |
 Ribbon Composition The composition isn't that great, but I like how the look of the ribbons came out. Prismacolor Pencils |
 Shoe Composition Though we had the option of using color, I decided to go black-and-white. This is one of my old shoes! :D The shading on the fabric was made up. Yes, I'm proud of that. :) |
 PVC Pipe I really like how this one came out as well... Prismacolor Pencils |
 Car Drawing We did a car portfolio, but I pulled this one out as it was the only image in the portfolio in color (the rest were line drawings or silouettes). Anyway...the car I used as reference was red, for what it's worth. Prismacolor Pencils |
 Architectural Drawing This has been nicknamed "Post-Apocalyptic UC" by my drawing class...I opted to take out all the buildings behind this one. This is a view from the top floor of my dorm (minus a few buildings and a sunset). Prismacolor Pencils |
 Shiva/Plant We were asked to integrate a plant and a sculpture. I chose a Shiva and a bonsai tree. Conte |
 Cow Skull This one was kinda fun to draw...lots of little details. :) Conte |
 Skull, Lateral View This was a subtractive drawing from my skull portfolio. Charcoal, Conte |
 Skull, Front View This was a late-nighter, but I really enjoyed this one too...lots of detail and color! Prismacolor Pencils |
 Michaelangelo Drawing Copy One of our assignments was to copy an old master drawing. Ebony Pencil |
 Self-Portrait I wanted to do something more interesting for my final project than just me sitting in front of a mirror, staring at myself blankly. So it now looks as though there's an arm from nowhere reaching out to grab my face. Creepy. Prismacolor Pencils |

 Two Nude Females This was one of my favorite models to draw--she was so skinny that there were so many little details to draw, and yet fleshy enough that there were curves too. Charcoal, Conte |
 Hand Studies Fun! Ink |
 Two Nude Males This was my other favorite model--he was a bodybuilder (clearly!) and also had a lot of detail to him. Very cool. Charcoal, Conte |
 Reclining Nude Male I really didn't like this model. I don't think he understood contrapposto. (Notice that this is my only pic of him...) Conte |
 Old Master Composition 1 Copy of several Michaelangelo sketches and paintings. I like Mike. |
 Old Master Composition 2 I just didn't get enough of his work the first time. (We were actually asked to do these for our sketchbooks, in case you're wondering.) |
 Female Model on Bench I really like how the light came out on this... |
 "Othello" Our professor suggested that we apply a character to this pose and draw it according to the mood conveyed. |
 Fashion Model Pose Our goal was to understand how cloth interacted with the human form. |
 Nude Female on Bench While I didn't enjoy draing this model very much at all, some of the detail that came from her...veluptuosity...made it interesting! |
 Reclining Nude This came out to look a lot more dynamic than the pose was...that's exciting! |
 Three Nude Males Again, my favorite male model to draw...he was just neat and intricate! |
