I want to draw the human figure a few times, with emphasis on line weight and boldness. It is important that Nathan learns to weight his lines correctly to emphasize the shapes of things and we will work on that during our next session. Every good artist has a very confident stroke, with thick bold lines as well as thin detail lines. We will work on what Nathan wants to master, facial structure, animals, and body structure, but we will incorporate some principles of design into this upcoming lesson.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-78869723162135252742009-04-17T05:47:00.000-07:002009-04-17T06:05:13.563-07:00Tutoring: Animals<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBxDyUmOWVAlZ79eRQKdr-UeJYcLgZbWwoV4XiuztHGAjMcHajEp3fkZviLOIdS3VHUFZyWxqDJcpWLbERmlqss2jKkv0y8q0VIZejVlyHPSMkq0ciB9-I2UMNDFEnJp79CDGZ_tjbaY/s1600-h/wolf4.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBxDyUmOWVAlZ79eRQKdr-UeJYcLgZbWwoV4XiuztHGAjMcHajEp3fkZviLOIdS3VHUFZyWxqDJcpWLbERmlqss2jKkv0y8q0VIZejVlyHPSMkq0ciB9-I2UMNDFEnJp79CDGZ_tjbaY/s320/wolf4.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325642014999137298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYdA2h_iMVCUnWqo88s1KZmNw5ponYl3t3EUOpjIQP5vo_YKVIFRk1QvXAUK6tXRtJGdlUMGN7AWBfj4tpk10Ah84b4miK2q7DfGZYAdo_gTZqWwHCwbosaH0qVgbN2EJScnuumZKBNc/s1600-h/Atlantic-Octopus.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYdA2h_iMVCUnWqo88s1KZmNw5ponYl3t3EUOpjIQP5vo_YKVIFRk1QvXAUK6tXRtJGdlUMGN7AWBfj4tpk10Ah84b4miK2q7DfGZYAdo_gTZqWwHCwbosaH0qVgbN2EJScnuumZKBNc/s320/Atlantic-Octopus.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325642010723707186" border="0" /></a>During the previous lesson we discussed the rendering of animals and so for the upcoming one I think that should be a focus of what we work on. The wolf is a good style for Nathan to learn from because of the focus on bold and thick lines. It is important to have line weight in different parts of an animal to accentuate the overall shape. The second picture is a photo of an octopus that could be turned into an intricate and complex pencil drawing.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-16700332982521840682009-03-30T06:19:00.000-07:002009-03-30T06:25:56.025-07:00Tutoring: Superhero Men and Women Proportions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhqg8Up5Vb9aihnXMjUOoTs8n-DT1HeVfBxndI9d4Li-mDZrZXYSyBdE7Qpg7lCrc7QGz0QcE4xZ7sK_EaaPy9ex-1TVMQA6gxBVeSB-Kp3a0vHhVckuZr-cWPexW3UMKgZ0qE35v_ydo/s1600-h/00080z2q-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhqg8Up5Vb9aihnXMjUOoTs8n-DT1HeVfBxndI9d4Li-mDZrZXYSyBdE7Qpg7lCrc7QGz0QcE4xZ7sK_EaaPy9ex-1TVMQA6gxBVeSB-Kp3a0vHhVckuZr-cWPexW3UMKgZ0qE35v_ydo/s320/00080z2q-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318970728703549362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxZdHLtYJ5yMNM7-eIfkEzC8-Gw1_iEpJzZFFtjItNpmh64JLl2XPq-XW_AP-YYfhTmw_nbGH3uJA6fQyYlFT5MRmbc61WXHrN34zGVnRFoa3FjXJVlTRyjRYoEd1zCF8nl2Hm1H_XkM/s1600-h/post_photoshop-tutorial-wonder-woman-step-2-line-art.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxZdHLtYJ5yMNM7-eIfkEzC8-Gw1_iEpJzZFFtjItNpmh64JLl2XPq-XW_AP-YYfhTmw_nbGH3uJA6fQyYlFT5MRmbc61WXHrN34zGVnRFoa3FjXJVlTRyjRYoEd1zCF8nl2Hm1H_XkM/s320/post_photoshop-tutorial-wonder-woman-step-2-line-art.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318970727567515522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZlRVKKP_GETlPydn-H317aMUj8a8MNN_J-V1Dg-UGvxhJGxe00Hokg4Us6DkDDZdjksl7KMxLQXU5l6-_rRsontTes5XF-KEMzMspUjLDymhCNieibOl9pEXID5jmEwEqj80X1M5s3Y/s1600-h/5_0superh.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZlRVKKP_GETlPydn-H317aMUj8a8MNN_J-V1Dg-UGvxhJGxe00Hokg4Us6DkDDZdjksl7KMxLQXU5l6-_rRsontTes5XF-KEMzMspUjLDymhCNieibOl9pEXID5jmEwEqj80X1M5s3Y/s320/5_0superh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318970721245413682" border="0" /></a><br />Last week during tutoring we discussed how the next goal for my student was to be able to draw the human bod with good proportions. He wanted to be able to draw men and women with proper muscle structure and proper size. These three pencil drawings are good examples of good proportions with the exception of the last drawing to the right on the bottom picture.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-57340595072553198372009-03-24T05:40:00.000-07:002009-03-24T05:46:54.100-07:00Tutoring: Women's FacesExamples of girl's faces at relatively simple angles. These are all fairly simple and straightforward photos of girl's faces but I think they will be instrumental in my student learning how to draw and master such things as lips, eyebrows and jawlines for women. Those were his noted trouble areas, but if he keeps drawing from photographs of women, he will improve and will be able to draw a basic woman's face from memory eventually and that is the goal.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUyydEvy46-3Y_P7GdiFAlRNPnTxtrjfF19aoUBsYOtnSiKGkb9OGb23-eKprUDZjRSeDl2PtN0Eq9EQSDlV0LdsV6D7bB9d_VY-Tgvh9ZA22Rb_PjtzEb6Y80oA11Do9WrXbBazd97q4/s1600-h/megan_fox.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUyydEvy46-3Y_P7GdiFAlRNPnTxtrjfF19aoUBsYOtnSiKGkb9OGb23-eKprUDZjRSeDl2PtN0Eq9EQSDlV0LdsV6D7bB9d_VY-Tgvh9ZA22Rb_PjtzEb6Y80oA11Do9WrXbBazd97q4/s320/megan_fox.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316734308293399250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKDmwqlhmx491tZRPwEuBkJx_42CmezcnP-oMGWMaSTmP_e1pErCy5ss8CYAInwand_pLhrOC8m1kLUspOO_T3ydMDQd37qrSsSITcfpTmM6mij7mlSK0ZmTS0hStOuqTFsySvcjUWls/s1600-h/elisha-cuthbert-7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKDmwqlhmx491tZRPwEuBkJx_42CmezcnP-oMGWMaSTmP_e1pErCy5ss8CYAInwand_pLhrOC8m1kLUspOO_T3ydMDQd37qrSsSITcfpTmM6mij7mlSK0ZmTS0hStOuqTFsySvcjUWls/s320/elisha-cuthbert-7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316734304408602834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdUP_pf4KUHIvWKs3ksxBFpL8gNNGh_0U6BgIgRmBEUbX3Nz_TF6c76CRjbzL-hKF4cY6iYRzsS9QKFGq4cSFPV3Al-1VvqTZgpfgMKNiZEBALoMWVP2j2KTepuh_zwhSIDyDZZEh0COA/s1600-h/angelina+jolie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdUP_pf4KUHIvWKs3ksxBFpL8gNNGh_0U6BgIgRmBEUbX3Nz_TF6c76CRjbzL-hKF4cY6iYRzsS9QKFGq4cSFPV3Al-1VvqTZgpfgMKNiZEBALoMWVP2j2KTepuh_zwhSIDyDZZEh0COA/s320/angelina+jolie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316734303099021026" border="0" /></a>Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-37911880744336899762009-03-24T05:24:00.000-07:002009-03-24T05:40:32.986-07:00First Tutoring SessionLast Thursday. March 19th, was the first tutoring and I made some changes to the original plan during this session. My student is very intent on learning a number of things, and I have decided to attempt to teach him how to draw certain things, rather than a wide "how-to-draw" curriculum. He wants to learn to draw better women, animals, and more realistic proportions on his people. I consider myself good at proportions and women, so I feel like I actually have something to contribute on those subjects. Animals are not a particular strong point for me, but I can still help. We mostly worked from various "how-to-draw" books that he bought, and I decided at the end of the session that it was time to take the realistic next step from the copying from the books, copying from photographs. Copying from a drawing book is fairly basic, but with a photograph you have to make your own judgement calls about lights and darks and where to put the lines. I wouldn't consider drawing from a "how-to-draw" book drawing from a reference, but I definitely would consider drawing from a photograph to be that. If my student is going to take the next step then he needs to start drawing from photos and then drawing from life. If he becomes competent at drawing from references, I think that it will become easier for him to master the "manga" style of art that he is really trying to achieve. If someone can draw realistically, it is much easier to draw in a cartoon style because you then know what proportions and features to exaggerate. This Thursday I gave him a homework assignment to draw girl's faces from photographic reference and I am going to bring in a few photographs of women and animals to draw quick sketches off of. This will be the first step in him becoming able to whip up a drawing without needing a specific reference.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-68736822782833127542009-03-16T05:23:00.000-07:002009-03-16T05:33:23.053-07:00Advanced Lesson PlanStage 1: Assessment of Ability<br />The first part of the lesson involves finding potential strengths as well as potential weaknesses in my student's abilities. I will ask for three drawings to be created, a drawing of a person, a drawing of a small still life setup, and a drawing of a building. These will be simple sketches, taking five to ten minutes to create each.<br /><br />Stage 2: Improvement of Weaknesses<br />After drawing three sample pieces, my student and I will pick the one that we agree needs the most work and we will focus on improving his technique in this area for the next couple classes. I will bring "how-to" manuals on improvement of this area and I will also try and lend my skills to helping improve his technique.<br /><br />Stage 3: Assessment of Improvement<br />At the end of the first day, we will have created three sketches, as well as a few sketches of the area that needs improvement. At the end of the session, we will step back and review what has been learned over the course of the lesson. We will discuss the plan for next lesson, what worked and what didn't and I will assign some sort of small homework involving making a drawing or two for the next week's session.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-909794888773342092009-03-12T05:21:00.000-07:002009-03-12T05:53:06.968-07:00Lesson Plan #1The objective, in my opinion, of today's tutoring session is assessment of ability. I want to find out where my student is in terms of talent and technique and from there make further lesson plans. On this first day I plan to have my student draw a few quick exercises and I can make a basic assessment. We will draw a person, a background, and a still life-type composition. Once we figure out what needs work, we can work on perfecting the form. I also want to find out from him what he feels is his weak point, what he wants to work on. Today is the introduction and the overall assessment of what works for him and what doesn't. I plan on bringing a couple "how-to-draw" books and perhaps a comic with simplistic style art. I will try and stress the importance of constant practice and repetition to acheive perfection of form. I will also try to show my student how important it is to reference from photographs or other sources when drawing something difficult. I hope that I am able to connect with my student and I truly hope that I will be able to teach him at least something of value today that he can use when drawing even when I'm not around. I do not know anything about what he wants other than that he draws cartoons and hopefully we can work on improvement of his form. If I can acheive proper assessment today, next Thursday will be alot easier because I will have an idea of what he needs and what he wants to do. My criteria for assessment will be based upon three things, proportion, composition, and technique. I will find his weakest point and that is what we will work on for the next few lessons.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-53803261475773593052009-02-26T06:37:00.000-08:002009-02-26T06:38:49.392-08:00The Last Two Pieces of New Old Breadth<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilNsJvAlMiqic2jNqFfsHxMgNUuNj4-nZZlDfFoSVFTgw0F1jzfOzzyIrH4zOPCHb8QWAuGuFnVd55LwpgzIkdWBIHU8BkB8yJklQ0HJPzyxdmYl2hW3L49c3cJ0iXg2dH017dfJ_zyN8/s1600-h/The+Devil+in+Pencil.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

How does the work in our concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea?<br /><br /> The work in my concentration displays my desire to refine a "comic-book" style of art because all of the pieces in my concentration are all part of one big piece. All my pieces tie together and create a ten-page story. This definitely displays the exploration of my idea, because instead of having ten "pin-up" drawings of various people that are unrelated, I have ten cohesive pages that flow together and create a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Each page took at least four hours, with some pages taking up to eight hours, but it really shows. Each page was drawn up with stick figures first, then penciled lightly, then penciled darkly, then traced in black ink to create a professional looking black and white comic book.<br /> I think that this year my area of concentration really represents my artistic direction for the first time ever, in previous years my concentration has always been a random collection of decent art that I threw together at the last minute, this year, I thought of an idea for my concentration and I followed through with it, creating exactly what I wanted to. I was able, for once, to create something that I am proud to share and proud to say represents my area of concentration in art. I think that someone who wants to draw comics created a ten page comic for their ten page area of concentration is very fitting and definitely shows some patience, determination, and skill.<br /><br /> My comic is inspired by artists such as Dave Mazzuchelli, John Romita Jr. and Frank Miller, all of whom I have commented on earlier in this blog in separate posts. Some of the more difficult things about creating this comic book were inking it, which could be very difficult because there was no room for error. Also, pencilling some of the combat positions was very difficult, especially those from weird angles. I found that I had to get everything right before inking it though, because I would never want to ink over something that I thought to be anatomically incorrect, because I would feel like I was cheating myself by not doing my best. My own sense of perfectionism sometimes was the thing that made me take much longer than I thought I should take on some pages. Page five is a prime example of such perfectionism creating alot of work for me. In the bottom panel of page four, I created a giant jungle scene that the hero, Stopwatch, has fallen into after traveling through time. For the beginning of page five, I heavily illustrated the jungle in the first panel and found that I had backed myself into the corner of having to recreate that hyperdetailed jungle in every single panel for the rest of the page. This jungle took at least three hours on its own, not to mention the other five hours that the other parts of the page took up. It is examples like that, of me feeling like I had to add just a little bit more detail, that made drawing this comic very time consuming but also very rewarding. I have never in my life created anything as detailed and comprehensive as this comic book. The other reason it took so long to do is that the pages are not the average 8.5" by 11" that is the general size for most sketches and drawings but rather a much larger piece of posterboard with a much larger area that had to be filled.<br /><br /> Drawing ten pages on this type of paper is no easy task, it was not a task that could be ever be accomplished in one weekend, even if I spent every waking minute on it, I would only be able to make a couple of pages maximum over the course of a weekend. That is why I'm so proud of what I've accomplished over the last couple months. It is the first time in my artistic career that <br /><br />I have set a very lofty goal and accomplished it without slacking and without rushing. I took my time and perfected every single detail on the way to created this comic, this was truly a labor of love. It was a concept that I cared dearly about, one that I would not cheat myself by rushing on, one that I devoted myself to for hours every single night for mid-November to mid-January. This comic represents the peak of my abilities right now, the absolute best I have to offer to anyone artistically, my art does not get any better than this. That is why it is my concentration, not because the teacher told me to create ten pieces for an area of concentration for a grade, but rather because I wanted to create something that I could be proud of, that I could keep in my portfolio for years to come, something that I could use to show people what I excel at and to show people my passion for drawing art in this style.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-52736163068120481342009-01-12T05:30:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:28:04.906-08:00Midterm Exam - Part 11. What is the central idea of you concentration?<br /><br />The central idea of my concentration is drawing a ten-page comic book. It is a very long and tedious task but the central idea is to show the amount of time and effort that go into creating even something as short as ten pages. I wish to show people that I can start a daunting and difficult task and finish it, all while keeping the same level of quality throughout. I think that the medium of the comic book is a fascinating way to tell a story, it is a combination between a book and a motion picture, it can tell any story and I think that it is completely underappreciated. I hope that the people who see my comic book that I've been working on for so long will understand how difficult it was to create and maybe will appreciate it as a form of art.<br /><br />My concentration this year is the logical extension of my concentration in previous years because my work has always been largely inspired by comic books. This is just the next step in terms of difficulty and also in terms of artistic accomplishment. You can see how focused I've always been on comic books by looking at my blog over the years and now I've finally created something that validates that perhaps one day I could be a comic book artist for a major publisher. That is what I am concentrating on, I enjoy drawing comics and I hope to become an artist for a comic book company later in life if it is possible.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-78719214674866243122008-10-31T05:18:00.000-07:002008-10-31T05:25:51.616-07:0025 Words1.

Four of those five artists draw comic books, but they are still artists that I really look up to. Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorite artists because of how bold and bright his paintings are. They are extremely simple, giant blow-ups of comic book panels, but the giant lines and glaring colors really bring them to life. His 3-D work is interesting too, such as the house sculpture that can be perceived as a room or as a house depending on how you view the central corner. I like work like his that is open to interpertation to the viewer. Jack Kirby is probably the most famous comic book artist of all time, his work on 1960s Marvel comics influenced the style for years to come. He also uses fairly simplistic lines with bright colors. Sometimes his environments can be intensely detailed, and so can his costumes but it still retains a sense of simplicity, regardless of all the minor details added in. He drew for the Fantastic Four and many other comic books during his long career. Frank Millar is another more contemporary comic book artist who is known for darker-themed books that he writes and usually illustrates as well. His style is extremely simplistic, almost bare-bones in its contrast. Alot of his work, like Sin City or the 300, has only a handful of colors and very blocky illustrations. I like that style though because as a reader, you still know exactly what is going on, and the way everything is drawn adds to the theme. John Romita Jr. is a modern comic-book artist, who currently draws a number of comic lines. He is not particularly amazing, but I respect typical comic art. It takes alot of work to draw 30 pages a month that cohesively tells a story, and he does a good job of telling a story with pictures. His style of art is fairly simplistic but his backgrounds are very well done. He keeps face simple as well as bodies, he does not draw bulky muscle with veins popping for his heroes, he draws men in costumes. Jim Lee is my final artist and I respect him simply for the fact that he draws intensely detailed people, faces, bodies, backgrounds, cars, and everything else. The level of detail in everything he draws is amazing because he does it for thrity pages a month just like Romita Jr. Lee has a perfect knowledge of facial structure and anatomy and his drawings look spot-on.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-42356579735571576172008-06-05T21:11:00.000-07:002008-06-05T21:12:05.153-07:00Artist StatementCriteria 1 - I think that I am both a student and a practicing artist because I do both of those things with my time. I think that the student part of my life far outweighs the artist part but I do think that art is also an important part of my life. A person that inspires me is my girlfriend Samantha. We are dating and have been dating for a year which is a long time in high school. She motivates me to succeed by always pressing me to do my assignments and to draw. <br /><br />Criteria 2 - I like to explore a comic book style universe when I draw. It is very interesting to me and keeps me interested in drawing. I prefer to work with cartooning but a more realistic type of cartooning that has correct proportions and good structure. I like to use either pencil or pens to draw and I like to leave my drawings black and white without any color.<br /><br />Criteria 3 - I ended up in AP Art because I planned on taking it either junior or senior year at the beginning of high school. I expected a fairly straightforward class that would allow me to work on my drawings and not put too many extraneous assignments on my back. I initially set out to improve my style of art and to try and tweak it a little to make it better. This perpective did not change as my work took shape because my work ended up taking shape in a new and better style, exactly what I wanted from the class in the first place.<br /><br />Criteria 4 - My background influences my work because my work is always based on some sort of imaginary fantasy I have had, either when I was young or a current fantasy. My background must have influenced these fantasies so I think it is safe to say that my background influences all my work. Past experiences govern everything I draw in my opinion. Also, of the three choices I would say that I am an observer.<br /><br />Criteria 5 - I really have no idea what I will be like when I grow up. I doubt anyone in this school knows what they will be like when they are older. Some people might have an idea but noone knows what will happen to them in life. Ideally I would make a decent amount of money and have either a small house or an apartment. I might live in this area but I might live somewhere completely random also. I will probably live with my wife, whoever that will be. My house or apartment would be very clean and well-organized because that is the way I keep things. I don't know how many pets or children I will have and I don't even want to speculate because I personally don't want kids or pets but I'm sure I'll end up having some. I dream about being done with high school and that is the furthest extent of my fantasies.<br /><br />Final Artist Statement - I think that I am both an artist and a student trying to balance the two different lives. I am influenced by my girlfriend, who motivates me to succeed and do well in school and at art. I draw in a comic book style, and I have drawn that way for my entire life because comic books were important to me when I was younger. I work in pencil or pen and ink and usually combine the two on pieces. I haved worked on honing my art style in AP art and that is exactly what I expected to do in the class. My style is better than it was at the beginning of the year, clearer-looking and more bold. My background influences my art, I used to live comic books and so that has influenced me to draw in the style of comic book artists. When I get older I hope to have a successful career and hope that I am able to make enough money to live comfortably. I hope that my art will be my career, maybe I'll be a comic-book artist and that would be a job that I would love.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-31690467660186626682008-05-20T11:52:00.000-07:002008-05-20T11:57:01.534-07:00Part I: ConcentrationI wrote that my area of concentration was costume design and comic book style art. In my area of concentration I mostly use pencils and sometimes pens and all of the work reflects a comic-book influenced style of art. Half of the drawings are figure drawings with costume designs that I created myself. Four of my pieces are sequential art, to show that comic books are my main style of art and all of those pieces are done in pencil. I didn't want to reupload some pictures that are already on the blog that I used in my AP Portfolio but I did use the 3000 AD picture, the picture of all the teenagers fighting the three beasts and some other drawings of my girlfriend. My style is heavily influenced by the artists I have previously blogged about, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Miller, Dave Mazzuchelli, John Romita and Jim Lee. My area of concentration is definitely in the realm of comic-book style art and is all drawn similarly. These works are from a number of different years but remain a coherent theme that I always use.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204110220196394386.post-17871052161198669792008-05-20T11:48:00.001-07:002008-05-20T11:48:53.480-07:00Part I: Concentration 11-12<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw796-hxTyfjXbOz1y7F5RbRWLPmtJuN8TiAKuK3YazMzSu2Zcj7NE81jDd5tnvz_mJROKdPcdolZCvrnRCxdje5ofQ_XvYLohI6fTNrew81iTDAt9sop_LKZBwZe-Ft8DiX7_Qldc3As/s1600-h/Edmond+Gniewek+21.jpg"><img style="display:block;

My reference is a book at my house that I will bring to class on the day I'm teaching called "How to Draw the Marvel Way". It is the book that I use as a reference for drawing people and teaches you a simple way to draw a person. It starts with a stick figure that is anatomically correct. You draw the figure in any position you'd like and then begin to "pipe it up" by creating muscle-less joints with light pencil lines. After creating a pose and giving the figure some underlying structure you begin to add on muscle and smaller details. After adding muscle you use your eraser to get rid of excess lines that were used for your underlying structure. After doing this you can add whatever details you want and your figure should look good because you gave it a sort of scaffolding to draw around. With this "scaffolding" in place, it is easier to draw with correct proportions and anatomy.Edmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12731625399992813380noreply@blogger.com0
