Tony Ryder Copy II
So my life drawing teacher took photos of our last homework assignment and posted them on her blog .
Here's mine. I'm not happy with it at all. First of all, this project was very challenging for me. I find female figures a thousand times easier to draw and I enjoy drawing them a lot more. Plus, this guys pose seems simple, but it's not.
Anyways, in my drawing his arm ended up way too long, which I should have fixed... but I really wanted to turn it in on time.
It's also the thing I left for last...which I wish I hadn't. By that time it was 3 am and I all I wanted to do was finish.
When we get these back, I am going to attempt to redo his arm.
In main photo, I tried to shorten his arm in photoshop. I was somewhat successful, except his arm feels very thick to me now, especially his wrist. (oh btw don't you lost how I don't have any complex sentences? I need to make more of an effort when I post on here)
Oh well.

Summer School
For the past 4 weeks I've been taking 2 summer courses at IVC.
This first project is from my Basic Drawing Class. The photo is a bit blurry, since camera seems to hate me.
These 3 images come from my life drawing class, which I love. (My professor is subscribed to this blog, but honestly, this is the best life drawing class I've ever had.)

From this point and on.
From this point on, I will be posting current work, much more slowly, watermarked and edited.
Just so you guys are prepared :D.

CSULB
At CSULB I have taken (and dropped after 4 weeks) a life drawing class and a 2D Fundamentals Class.
Most of the life drawings we did were in ink. These are 2 minute studies I enjoyed.
The last one is a 20 minute long study. This was a very difficult drawing for me, because the model began to slump over and fall asleep after the initial 5 minutes.
This was my final from my 2D Fundamentals. We were asked to create an narrative and use elements of line, color, texture and shape that we had learn throughout the semester.

2007-2008 and Art Festival
During 2007 to 2008 I was working at Aaron Brothers part time and drawing very little. It was during this time, my closest friend and I stopped speaking to one another, but I had been accepted to CSULB. So, the world wasn't awful. In 2007 I renewed my relationship with God and began pursuing how to unify, my artistic, logical, and spiritual natures together.
In 2008 I began my Art Festival Project and here are some of the flyers and handouts for that year. To explain what the art festival is...would take entire blog post...so I'm not going to bother.
Most of these are the same image but the layout was changed to suit that particular flyers purpose or I found ways to make it more appealing.
These are the 2009 flyers:

From My Days at the Art Institute
Here are some pieces I made during summer 2006 to spring 2007 while I was a student at the Art Institute. I have an animation student for 3 quarters and a graphic design student for 1.
During this timer period, I was very unhappy. THe school didn't turn out to be what I thought it was, and I had made a mistake in going there. I had really low self esteem at the time, and my whole world was falling apart. So, when I look at these...I remember all those dark awful feelings..and hating everything about these projects.. mostly because I kept thinking I wasn't good enough.
These are from my Basic Drawing Class:
Advanced Drawing:
I couldn't photograph this one straight on because of how reflective the graphite is.
Anatomy: I actually lost most of the work I did in this class. These are all I have.. and they are just short timed sketches.
Typography:
Color Theory:
Advanced Typography:
A Photoshop Class (I don't remember what the class was called):

2006 and Before
Before I begin showing my current work I am going to post my past works of art. I feel that in order to understand what I create now.. I have to show my journey and how I have come here. This post exhibits a time when I was sheltered within the walls of Calvary Chapel and my loving and kind teacher Laurel could encourage me and help simmer all the anxiety that stirred within my heart. When I left Calvary, I had no idea that the next 2 years would be the most emotionally difficult years of my life and my artwork would suffer in the sense I no longer created it...but benefit because now I am no long identified by it. Anyways, I will explain more later. Here is my old stuff :D
2002..or maybe 2003 Drawing (Freshman or Sophomore year..)
2004-5 Painting (Junior Year):
This was my first painting ever.
I painted this for my boyfriend at the time...then took it back O.O!
This was a still life of sea shells
-------------------------------------------
2005-2006 (Senior Year)- Ap Studio Art.
Ap Studio art requires you to paint/draw 24 works. The first 12 explore traditional styles and the last 12 allow the artist to explore a theme in anyway they desire. My theme was "A Simple Twist of Reality."
These first drawings were the required traditional 12. They are shown in the order they were created.
-------------------------------------------
2006 - These doodles from my first few quarters at the Art Institute. Some of these (like the character studies) were required for class projects.
Tomorrow I will post my art projects from AI. Today you only get doodles.
