Thoughts on Fall

Went a little crazy with the colored pencils last night, but I really wanted to do something with these beautiful fall colors which, having lived in Texas most of my life (where seasons go to die), never cease to amaze me. This is called Thoughts on Fall:

Smirk

Yet another spontaneous work, with quite the uhh.. unique inspiration. :)

I was a bit out of my mind, but I'm satisfied regardless:

Reaching

After over a month of nearly non-stop studio work,

(and non-stop bangin' of the ladies)

(just kidding)

(not really)

(...yeah, I am)

...I finally sat down to draw out of my own free will and came up with Reaching, a rather accidental abstract study of the human form. I didn't actually realize it was starting to take the shape of a body until I turned the drawing upside down, go figure. But I'm happy with it anyway:

Nope, I still only work on architecture things.

Haha I honestly haven't dedicated a single moment of my time since I've been here to a sketch/work that hasn't had to do with Viscomm or Design. 

Except this doodle, when I was SUPER BORED during a Viscomm lecture (slightly enhanced with iPhoto):

But this is cool: we were just assigned our first design project. That building that I had to study in the post below needs to be changed (we need to make an architectural intervention). 

This is the presentation I did for the Ferguson's existing conditions.

Annddd these are a few of my design proposals for the facade:

#2:

#3:

More architecture!

In that architecture course I mentioned earlier, we were assigned a particular side of a building on campus to pick apart, analyze, sketch, put back together, re-analyze, re-sketch, so on and so forth. Basically, we live and breathe this building for the next two weeks (or maybe more).

Anyway, this is the building I was assigned:

annnddd these are a few preliminary sketches/ an elevation and plan, freehand (aside from a straightedge on the second one). decent drawings, but most likely will be drawn two or three times over, in addition to more detailed ones. yay college!

P.S.

100 views. Marvelous.

College

is amazing. I won't take up a huge amount of your time describing just how amazing it is, but yeah. It's very nice. 

Haha on that note, I have for you the first sketch (of many) that I've done for my Architectural Design course. Not exactly a product of the MacBook, but not too bad considering the new drawing technique they're having us use (new to me at least, holding the tool a little more loose), and the huge 18 x 24 pad. This lovely bas relief is positioned on the left side of the front entrance to the Pattee Library, representing knowledge I think? 

Now broadcasting from

a brand spankin' new Macbook Pro. 

Still trying to figure everything out with this, while getting things packed and ready for college. May not post a good work for awhile, but I'll definitely be back, hopefully with a product of this sexy machine. :)

Look!

For the last two months that I've been up here, I've had 15-20 beautiful, new black felt tip markers in the drawer beneath me. Lacking inspiration, I thought I'd whip one or two out and see what I could do (I've never drawn in ink before). Here's the result:



(Look! is the title)

Blue Skies, Fire, and Space

I seem to be at the point where I've run out of ideas for original titles. Take whatever meaning you like out of this one, because I've got nothin'.
