School Interior Drawing

Medium:

-Watercolors (background color)

-Graphite Pencil

-Ebony Pencil

-China Markers

Completed in and outside of class

15” x 20” illustration board

This was an assignment was given to me by my art teacher.

We were to go to a spot in the school and draw an interior

drawing on top of a piece of illustration board we painted

with water colors. We had a few class periods to work on it

but I went back after school to put some more work into it

Bread Still Life

Medium:

-oil paints

-illustration markers (rough sketch)

Completed in and outside of class

11” x 14” canvas

For my oil painting class I decided to paint a still life of

bread on a cutting board. I did a rough sketch off of the

bread at home and then brought that into class to base

my painting off of.

Self Portrait

Medium:

-Watercolors

Completed outside of class

11” x 14” watercolor paper

I wanted to try a self portrait with watercolors. Instead of us-

ing skin tone colors, I wanted to use more bold and evoca-

tive colors. This was also a very experimental project with

watercolors for me since it was a medium I did not use

much of beforehand.

Panera Interior Drawing

Medium:

-Graphite Pencil

-Ebony Pencil

-China Markers


9” x 12” sketchbook page

I was at my local Panera Bread restaurant waiting for

friends before a study group and I decided to take out my

sketchbook and work on an interior sketch of the a corner

of the dining area. I worked on it for about 15 minutes be-

fore my friends arrived and left it how it was.

Sarah

Medium:

-Graphite Pencil

-Red chalk pencil



This is a drawing of a friend who posed while I drew a rough

sketch of her face, shoulders, and hair. Later at home I put

more work into it and worked it to a final product. I left out

her mouth because she is shy and I felt the lack of the

mouth and the pose made it more evocative. I gave her a

red shirt in the drawing because her favorite color is red

and I wanted to experiment with a red chalk pencil

Patterns

Medium:

-Sharpie Markers

-Ebony Pencil

-Colored pencils

Completed inside of class

8.5” x 11” illustration board

We were assigned a project where we had to make a zen-

tangle. Instead of just making a standard pattern, I de-

cided to try to form it into a human face to make it boldly

different than others. I also used a variety of chaotic pat-

terns throughout to show how different yet beautiful the hu-

man form is.

Hand Studies

Medium:

-Graphite Pencil


9” x 12” sketchbook pages

These are quick sketches I have made of hands in different

positions . Most are drawing of my hands that I sketched

out while looking at them while others are hands of a friend

willing to model for a couple of minutes. Most are not

worked to a final product but one of my hand drawings be-

came the drawing of the arm which I drew the muscles of

the arm on from what I knew from being an athlete and

taking biology and health.

Jeffery

Medium:

-Graphite Pencil (erased)

-Illustration Markers



While hanging out with my friend Jeff, He posed while I

drew a rough sketch of his face and shoulders. Later one I

wanted to work it into a final product but I wanted to try

something different. I tried to display the value in sections of

lines with varying distances between them to represent the

value.

Tea and Paint

Medium:

-illustration markers



This is a still life I made one afternoon after painting. I had a

mug of tea and my paint water on the wood floor I was

working on. I made a sketch with illustration markers. Mak-

ing the texture on the floor was fun.

Figure Study

Medium:

-Graphite Pencil


9” x 12” sketchbook pages

These are rough figure drawing sketch I made on my own

in my sketchbook. These are not drawn from a model.

These mostly come from my own imagination and show in-

spiration from a comic-book-superhero style drawings.

Eyes

Medium:

-Charcoal

-Charcoal Pencil

-White Charcoal Pencil

Completed in of class

4” x 8”

In art class we got a self portrait assignment except we

were only focusing on you eyes. We used mirrors study the

details of our eyes and the area around them. The value

was sometimes difficult because of varying light in the room

throughout the several days we worked on them.

Cottage in the Woods

Medium:

-ballpoint pen



This is an experimental sketch I made of a of doing a land-

scape and house with a ball point pen.

Self Portrait

Medium:

-pencil (erased)

-Illustration markers



I did another self portrait of myself. I started with a rough

sketch of my facial features and then to work it into a final

piece I decided to do the value solidly which gave a lot of

contrast which I liked when it was finished.

Mountain Road Landscape

Medium:

-oil paint

Completed inside of class


For my oil painting class I was assigned to do a painting of

a landscaping.

Disneyland

Medium:

-Photography (Nikon D52000)


4000 x 6000 pixels

For Key Club, I went to Anahiem for the Key Club Interna-

tional Convention. While in the area, we went to Disney-

land one of the days we were there. I took this picture of

the Ferris wheel in Disneyland because it has the iconic

Mickey Mouse face which evokes joy and nostalgia of

childhood.

Eagle Scout Project

Medium:

-Wood/lumber

-Vines


8’-0” x 8’-0” x 3’-0”

For my Eagle Scout project I designed the bench in the pic-

tures to the left at my local church. I led a group of my fel-

low boy scouts to stain, cut, and then assemble all the

pieces of the bench and the fence against the wall in the

background of these pictures. We then did landscaping

around the area and planted the vines that have now

grown around the overhang.
