IF: Pattern

Top: Original scan.
Bottom: Finished
I just drew one little design...then multiplied it.

I also have realized that if I don't like the subject I am to draw, I don't do well when drawing it.
Hmm......

I liked this subject. Pattern.

Arrows

I don't know if I was supposed to upload this here, but it looks kinda good. So I guess I'll just put it on here.

Infinite

This was for "Infinite" for Illustration Friday,.
I saw the word infinite and I immediately thought of the book The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and how when Charlie was in the tunnel, he felt infinite.
I think it was a tunnel.
Anyways, so I decided to draw the tunnel that he would drive through with his friends.
This probably looks nothing like the tunnel.
But hey, it works.

Narrative Illustration

This was for the narrative project. It was based on the song "Guernica" By Brand New. Although it looks kind of finished, I'm not really done with it. I had to kind of rush to get it done by the end of class on Friday...But I'm thinking that if I get any time when I have finished something, I am going to go back and add texture and stuff to this picture.
Also, I apologize for the monkey's head being so lopsided...I totally just realized that it looks like a potato. I need to add some dropshadow to some of the batteries, too. And parts of the robot and monkey.
The monkey was supposed to be the monkey from the Phantom of the Opera, I guess. It's a toy, but it is more than that.
And the robot...is a toy...whose batteries are dead.
To understand what I am talking about (minus the Phantom thing), the lyrics to the song are below, the bolded words are the words I chose to narrate about.



Guernica by Brand New
Ever since I was young,
your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call I'd rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.

Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.

I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.

I'm not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,

It was for like, two weeks ago.
But I finished it. I know the assignments are a bit out of order, sorry about that.

Strong

This is the finished version.

Completed Assignment 1 "Abstract"

This is the completed version of the first post.

Four Squares

Top : Finished, edited in Illustrator.
Bottom : Original drawing.

I don't really have anything to say about this. It is all pretty much just lines.

First Assignment: Abstract

Top : After a little computer editing
Bottom : Original Drawing

I edited it a bit, and was going to add more colors, but I really want to start editing the "sharpie" sketch, so I might come back to this one after I am done with that one, and add more things. But I honestly think the unedited, plain, colorless picture is better.
