Life Drawing: INK

Today we finally started with the ink/marker section of class. Here's the results of day 1:



Later, we did a few fun things with our new material. First, we gave our model robotic parts...
Then we made her part animal...
and lastly, we made her zombified.:)

That's an eyeball hanging out, by the way.
I've worked with ink before and I absolutely love it. Yeah, it is not forgiving at all, but the lines you can  make with it are completely worth it. Line weight is my favorite thing about art and markers are the best to use to get a real sense of manipulation of it. So in short, today was an awesome day.
We'll have one more day of this, which is the sad thing, but I'm hoping we will do more of the "imaginative" drawings again.

New things- Polymer clay

So for the past couple of weeks, besides working on my webcomic, I've been dabbling with polymer clay. So far, I LOVE IT. It's really fun and easy to work with and I thought I would suck at it, but I was wrong. I'm making a bunch of things to sell so here are some pictures:















































All of the clay I have has put me on a jewelry kick. I've ordered even more supplies from Amazon and will get more clay soon:)
Earrings will be $5-$6 dollars
Necklaces will be $7 (chain included)
