"Jim Dine Tool Inspired"

1. 11x15 in
2. acrylic paint and charcoal
3. I just wanted to do a somewhat simple, up-close detailed drawing of the tools. I didn't want a lot of extra to distract from the main drawing.
4. I think this one turned out really well. I like the dull colors with the bit of red.

"Portrait of yourself in 20 years"

1. 11x15 in
2. charcoal, acrylic paint, sharpie
3. 20 years from now is full of unknowns for me. This was supposed to have the idea of a maze--but an imperfect or impossible one. Life is like a never-ending maze and one that you have to continue, despite getting blocked. The lightbulbs are symbolizing events in life that made me who I am. The figure is just a generic form without any features because when I am 37 who knows what I will look like--it will be based on my experiences.
4. I like this and think it is interesting. I think that something needs to be added to create more unity, though I was trying to make a definite devision between the figure and maze.

"Ordinary object done in an extraordinary way"

1. 11x15 in
2. watered down acrylic paint for the wash in the background and sharpie
3. I did a watch and other clocks with sharpie. I wanted to focus more on the design of this by creating movement throughout.
4. This is probably not the best, but I really like it. I think I accomplished what I wanted with the way the eye is carried throughout the piece.

"Figure drawing done from an unusual pespective"

1. 11x15 in

2. acrylic paint and charcoal

3. I did myself climbing up a rope ladder, reaching up. The perspective is from up above. Everything is painted, and charcoal is used for some shading and for the rectangles in the background.

4. I like the way this turned out, though I know there are a few things that could be improved-like more darks and color for the skin. Overall, I think it has some good design elements and I think it's interesting.
