Semester I update

I'm updating to summarize my first semester's work. (aka I'm bad at updating so this will be a large post) Currently, I'm moving on to my first animations here at Ringling and continuing to study up on those fundamental drawing courses. Soon I'll be uploading more work from my current assignments and personal art I've been working on. Until then, here's some stuff my brain tried to tell my hands to translate into drawings.

Skeleton and Muscle Overlay

Lastly, my first drawing of the semester and my last...

Some Perspective work from last semester as well

And last but not least I will share my final assignment for 2d design.

First Freshman Post

So I failed at keeping up with my blog over the summer. But huge update: I am officially a Ringling student. I can't even begin to put into words how amazing it is to be able to say that. Without a single doubt I know I'm where I'm meant to be in life. I've met many wonderful passionate people, made amazing new friendships, and I've finally been reunited with the old which feels beyond great. All the while I'm learning massive amounts and improving unbelievably in art.

With that said you can expect me to post a lot more. Mainly because I really like documenting my progress, but also because I can focus only on art finally. So I give to you, my first post as a Ringling freshman:

This was an assignment for perspective. Simple one-point perspective drawings that could be interiors or exteriors. I wanted to document my life on campus, because it feels so amazing to be back and honestly Ringling is my home (away from my other home that is.)

My beautiful campus.

My dorm. Yes, I did do the cliche college collage covering my wall with posters and pictures. It's mainly quotes and lyrics that inspire me. I have an obsession with quotes, rightfully so they cover my wall.

Our common room. Where many a 5th floor shenanigans go down.

sketchbook pages

1 week until I finish high school and I'm not even going to lie, I feel no nostalgia. So to celebrate my soon to be freedom, I figured I would share some sketchbook pages from the past month. Also I thought I should put something else up here since its taken me so long to get it going...so yeah, enjoy.

Can you see both faces?

this one was actually done a few months ago, but I just found it recently and thought it was kind of cool.

We're drawing boats! My friend and I drew this dock in Sarasota, FL behind our hotel while at Ringling's Accepted Students Day. And we sang... about drawing boats.

A very quick drawing of me drawing my friend, drawing me, drawing her, drawing me.

It's drawception.

Ringling Portfolio

So after long last I am finishing up the art blog I keep promising everyone! Most of what I'll post will be finished work, sketchbook pages, or whatever else I might be working on that I feel like sharing. I am constantly striving to improve so any feedback, critique, and encouragement is welcome!

Anyways, I guess I'll start with my portfolio that got me accepted into Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design. Hope you enjoy! (A HUGE thank you to my friends and family who gave me advice, feedback, encouragement, and overall kept me from losing my mind last semester when I was making most of these pieces! You guys kept me going, and I literally can't imagine the process without you.)

 

 

That middle one still cracks me up.

Gesture drawings (some done at Precollege) ranging between 30 seconds to 2 minutes

And now for some sketchbook pages...

I called this one, "Terrifried." Yes I know very punny. :)
