These were some in-class sketching we were supposed to do. Waste. Of. Class. Time. I am a little embittered by it, but at least this process taught me what not to do in the future.

To The Store for References!

There is a Vans store in the Culver City Mall. I have never walked into one before. I decided to choose Vans right when I walked into the store.

The skateboard and spraypaint idea where very useful.

Otis 2009 Commication Studio Sophomore Year

The first project of Comm Studio was to make two posters: one of a store and another one of a cultural institution. We were also supposed to make both posters have one object or animal as the main subject.

The store I chose was Vans and the animal/object a turtle. These are some preliminaries. Random shadow study and Turtle Bomb
Turtle wearing a turtleneck, a turtle lock, and a turtle surfing.a close-up sketches of a turtle shell, a turtle hiking, a turtle hiding, and a turtle smelling a flower.

AHHHH Principles of Design. . . This was a four-part project where we were supposed to create visual representations of a certain item of our choosing. I chose a shell. This is the stylized image.I guess this was a planar image: just flat shapes.
This was geometric and we had the freedom to change the object into something else, my shell turned into a woman dancing. This was my favorite.
Abstract with one color and texture. I cut some fabric off of my purple shirt collar. I don't wear it anyway.

7 ft 6 hour life drawing final. I had to stand on a horse to reach the head.
Looking back on the head, there are quite a lot of mistakes on this. Live and learn I guess.

Fear. The reference photo that I used was recognized by my teacher because I got it online. It just shows that sometimes, it is best to make and use your own references.

Oil pastel on canvas. My reference was off of a photo of me crying at the grand canyon. I should post the photo up. It was pretty funny.
