Pin Up Scar

For school we did a drawing challenge that required us to draw a pin-up girl (or boy) as a cartoon character. I chose to do Scar from The Lion King.

Capybara Dragon

A little drawing challenge for us at school was to take an animal and turn it into a dragon. My favourite animal is the capybara, so I made this. I figured he would use his dragon powers to get the best watermelons for himself. An added challenge this term was to draw it using Flash. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Exploration #61

For school our instructor wants us to complete explorations of the world. Exploration #61 is Footprints. It involves recording, through sketches or pictures, different footprints that you see in mud, snow, around water, etc. I made this exploration up because none of the ones in the book matched what I wanted to do. The following is all the pictures I took this past winter of different animal footprints in the snow and the animals who made them.

 

Exploration #55

For school our instructor wants us to complete explorations of the world. Exploration #55 is Ways to Transform an Everyday Experience. It involves doing anything you can to change a regular occurrence in your life, to make it different or more interesting, and recording the experience. The following are my notes from May 5, 2014:

I walked to school today with one eye closed. My depth perception was weird. I couldn't see one side of the road (don't worry, I was on the sidewalk). Stairs were particularly difficult. It took more concentration than I thought it would not to open my other eye.
