Gotta love Photoshop!
Good thing I brought my laptop to Delaware (where I am now) otherwise this assignment would've been MIA until I got home Sunday and found out this was assigned.

my cousin just moved into the worst possible apartment ever. that's where i got the idea for this from. :-)

Also, howdy!

Hey, while I'm posting anyway, howdy! I'm Zith, most of you know me. Anyway, I like drawing, gaming, drama, and, um... girls? Here's my work:


This is one of my thematic sketches: a tribute to a superhero romance i loved that can never happen, now. (isn't it odd that my "sketch" is better than my "real" pieces so far?)















And this is my song piece, made to They Might be Giants' "Am I Awake?". The song has a cool techno feel that made me think of using blue tones, cubism, and a tablet. BTW, I've never used a tablet before, hence the shakiness.

The late Flash doesn't appreciate it when no one understands how I'm tying in to a theme.

P.S.-This sort of lame picture is what happens when I have ONE DAY to make it

Um, about those dates.

The last two I can meet, it just that first one I might not be able to. My family is leaving for a camping trip that day and so I won't have a chance to upload the pic until after. Just wondering if it's okay if I post it early or if after the weekend is preferred. o.o;

Assignment #8 (due by 9/7)- "Transform"

Assignment #9 (due by 9/14)- "Regular"

Hey


A sketch of my dog falling asleep... this picture was supposed to go beneath my introduction but I'm too lazy to fix it so whatever...

I'm Brian and I'll be a senior this school year and can't wait to start this class as it's a fitting end to my high school career. Basically I've been really busy with spending a month in the Colorado Rockies and then having to come home and get done with all of these assignments although I'm pretty much done. Actually, I'm working on a drawing as I type out this introduction :D lol
Anyway, I prefer working in pencil or acrylic paints and can't wait to meet everyone and work on my portfolio.

Hey Needles, I'm doing the 3D test for the exam, but all of my summer work is 2D...

Is that ok? I don't really have any materials to work with so I didn't try to make any sculptures

Needles is alive....so far


Hey gang,

Just wanted to let you all know I'm alive, but thanks for the concern. I've been teaching a class to educators up in Canada and Niagara and I haven't had Internet access much. I'm going to be posting the new assignments next week (and going to the beach a ton). I'm happy to see the work you've posted so far- keep it going! Make sure you enjoy your summer we are getting close to that dreaded "Back to School" time. Talk to you all soon!

I'm pretty sure needles died, he's making me worry.

Tiger Shark



I worked for four hours straight on this and just wanted to know what people thought on it. Crappy background is because of exhaustion after just doing the shark for 4 hours. >< Colored pencils as usual.
Sorry for being annoying?
