this artist is michaelangelo from google web search. this is a 3/4 view shot.

this artist id again michaelangelo and this is a straight on shot.

this artist was michaelangelo and you can see that there is foreshortening in the legs and torso.

This is my 3rd 30 min. drawing and in my eyes it's the best of all 3.  Here I used a lot of shading to add a realist appearance.  Again I used darker lines to create depth and lights which really makes it look fleshy and real.  I had to watch my proportions so starting with line length helped me find the right distance of her arms in contrast with her upper body.  The importance of basic line drawing allowed me to spend more time on shading to make it look realist.  This was an easy position to do my self so nearly the whole time I could easily strike this position if I needed help on feeling the position.  

This would be my 2nd 30 min. drawing.  In this drawing I believe there was more attention to the models muscles.  Here I wasn't able to get a structure of the spine because her back was facing me.  But understanding that torso in relationship to the shoulders was key in finding the foreshortening. Also i paid attention to dark and light lines to give the model a understanding of distance and lighting.  By the lower back you can see the darker line I made.  Also by the inner thighs I made my marks darker.  I trying to keep you lines light as i could so that the darker lines but appear richer.  

This would be my first 3o min. drawing.  As far as learning from this class and this drawing there are some key points.  One, realizing that it's important to get a basic line drawing to measure out the body's length and proportion.  This can really speed up the process of drawing because having the correct proportions allows for less erasing and frustration.  Second, understanding the models body form in relationship to your own form. Third, keeping an appropriate distance in relationship to your drawing board, this will allow flowing forms through the shoulder. Fourth, making sure that your drawing board is at a position that has a clear view of the model, this will make the drawing flow quicker. 

I am an Industrial designer and this is what i do, i make products.  This was done in my 2nd year here at stout and now i have a new vision. I want to make products that effect the environment in a positive way.  Hybrids are my new passion in changing the way we commute to work and play.

This was done also in my 2nd year fashion without fabric and i would have to say i really enjoyed this project.  Making a full spike suit was challenging and fun.  The idea is that this suit could be worn by someone who doesn't want a hug.  This is more of a comical idea and is just for the pleasure of laughter.  

self portrait

I guess this is the master piece of my work, 45 hours of hard labor lol.  No really i have never worked so hard in my life on one piece before.  This piece pushed my limit of attention and skill.  This was done in my 3rd and the hardest year so far.  The medium of this portrait is pastel and a little pencil for detail.
