hey im Ian and im really not sure how this blog thing works yet. so basically i play varsity football im a nissequoge firefighter i play the drums and im very involved in church. anyway this is one of my summer assignments its my monster theme. this piece is pretty out of the box for me because i tend to do more realistic work. in this piece i used a ink dropper and bottle to make most of it and i later added some watercolor.

Hello from San Fransico

Hey Artroom, It's great to see you all posting your introductions and getting to know you all. I'm currently in San Francisco working with Adobe which is fun. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from you all and getting to know you better. In addition to posting please leave comments for each other on the images that are put up. Remember to keep it positive and helpful!

Hi..

I'm Katie and I'm really bad at introducing myself to be honest.. I play basketball I love art and I'm just a normal kid. Here's one of the assignments I have completed so far, the monster theme:



I set up a website just like this one towards the end of the year last year that has most of my work. Looking forward to senior year (except for the college applying part, that's a little scary) but at the same time I don't want summer to end.

Question for Mr. Needles... on the portrait of someone else do we have to use a live model?

Hi

Hi everyone, I'm Erin...i'm not very thrilled about school starting, but i am definitely excited about this class. I always liked art pretty much but i really started to get into it during ninth grade i think. I'm mainly interested in drawing and painting people. Other than art i like dance and reading...i read whenever i can. I also like being outside and i've been camping for the majority of the summer. I hope everyone is enjoying their own summer so far.

The picture is my monster theme...i'm still not sure about the background

Bleh...hi.

Wish I knew how blogs worked....Anway, been busy with work, but my real reason for not posting anything is because I'm lazy during my free time xP I'm Kim. Also known as many other names both IRL and online (the name Rewrite I tend to use more on the art communities online for example). I tend to stick to drawing creatures and things not in reality and I stay away from drawing things I find to be boring (such as people in real-life for instance). I like digital art and draw on Photoshop Elements quite often ever since OpenCanvas stopped working for me, but I do like traditional media such as markers and colored pencils. I too have a
deviantART account and go on just about everyday.
Here's what I have finished so far in my sketchbook this summer:

Based on a small sketch I did in English last year which was based on an anime called "Elfen Lied".

Based on a sketch done at this years AP History conference except less furry and prettier.

I had finished watching an anime called "Princess Tutu" and wanted to draw something based on it.

I felt I needed to practice drawing canines, but I really wanted to draw a scorpion, too...

Did this yesterday morning. Long story short, beach overnighter with youth group + leaving food out at night = raccoons attacking our food and us staying up to chase them. We said they were like ninjas x3

Drawn last night with very little light outside around a fire. Some of the people I was with during the overnighter got the new HP book and were reading it so I took the opportunity to sketch them out. My scanner killed the picture and I couldn't Photoshop it back to life like I usually can (looks A LOT before IRL).

I do have other things I'm working on though. For now, I go read HP7

I made a blog

Hey guys! I hope everyone's having a great summer! I made a blog, it's stephdesimone.blogspot.com because I couldn't think of anything more clever haha. Check it out!

Hello! =D

I'm finally posting here...but that's not because I was lazy...I was actually very busy. ^^; And that's not just with the summer assignments (I'm actually being very slow with them ;o; ) Anyway...my name is Amanda, but all my friends (and that's a lot of people in this class) call me "Ama"...since there are just so many 'manda's. -.- I've got a site that showcases all of my art (I think it's a piece of art by itself...) from 9th grade until now, as well as a Deviant ART that showcases my favorite pieces I've done. As you can see, my strong-suit is anime and fanart...^^; But I've been drawing animals longer, so, that's also something I take some pride in.

This little guy was done in colored pencils with some ink. Let it be known that colored pencils are my forte. XD (god this pic looks so much better IRL >>)

I also wanted to know if the dimensions of the Portrait size are set in stone - because I found a really great piece of wood I'd like to use for it, but it's only 12x20 rather than the 16x20. o.o; It was the biggest they had of it. T^T

introducing myself

My name is Lauren, but my friends call me Weissy. I guess you can too.
I'm big on stenciling. It's been kinda my thing for the past year or so. I like photography, I take pictures of everything.
I have a deviantART page, check it out, a lot of my work's on there.
Here's some of it:

Adventureland.

Manhattan.

A stencil I did of Sublime, my favorite band.

Yeah, that's about it.

Hello Group, I am Jen.

I was in needle's ap class the previous school year, and it was really rad. needles is really rad too.
i think it sucks a lot that there's only going to be one period of ap art next year. especially for a class that has two periods worth of work. and since there will be complete chaos in the classroom from everyone trying to get their work done by the end of class, no one will get to truly know one another.
i'm jen yu. art is my favorite subject in school. i have absolutely no talent outside of art, so without it, i'd be a complete failure at life instead of being just a normal leveled failure.
i don't like tomatoes, unless it is ketchup and i lose my cell phone almost every week.

greetings from china!!

hey everyone! i hope you're all having a great summer!
this is the view from the great wall! isn't it a beaut!? ^__^
can't wait to see what the blog assignments will be, needles!
