Figure sculpture

    I wanted to do this post for a while now, but for some unknown reason I procrastinated. This was the sculpture I made with the recycled clay from the relief sculpture I spoke about before. This was my first full body sculpture I've have ever done. It was a little more challenging than I had expected. Since I already felt comfortable with drawing figures, I thought that building a sculpture of it should be easy. With the help from my professor I realized that an important information to know when starting a 3-D piece was to build up the mass of the object, such as the bust of the figure and everything else was about shaping and details.

Aesop's Fables: The Fox and The Crow

                 

This was a two part illustration where I depicted the beginning of story how the fox met the crow sitting on branch with a slice of cheese in its mouth and the climax where the fox convinced the crow to open her mouth to sing and the cheese dropped and he caught it.

Bad Owners

  This illustration was inspired by Magritte's paintings of unexpected relationships and using the idea of "memorable but believable." I chose to depict the abusive relationship of owners and pets, however in this image it is the giant squid that is the owner while the human is the pet.

Nude Study- Pastel Colors

  Typically I refrain from posting my figure drawings, because I'm afraid I would end up filling the whole site with class drawings; however I made an exception for this one because I felt it carried a bit more substance than my usual figure studies. Instead of the same old charcoal rendering of a figure in blank space, the addition of color really adds a emotion to piece. Although this painting is not entirely finished and requires minor tweaks here and there, I am pleasantly pleased the overall drawing and colors.
