CLASS WORK: Interpretive Illustration #3 - Celebrity Caricature

One does not simply get a caricature assignment and NOT draw Boromir.

CLASS WORK: Interpretive Illustration #2 part2/2 - Classmate caricature

Now we're talking! The second part of class today was caricatures, which I've always had a fondness for. We were told to group up with the person next to us and do a quick (<10 minute) caricature of each other. I ended up doing mine pretty fast though, since it felt like such a breath of fresh air to be doing something in my wheelhouse after the music painting thing.

CLASS WORK: Interpretive Illustration #2 part1/2 - Drawing Music

Well...this was a strange class.

So...today we were asked to listen to music, and then draw it. Well, paint it really. Every time we
heard a different instrument, we were supposed to switch colours and brushes to match what we heard. To be perfectly honest, I didn't really get it. I mean I get the idea, but I just don't really associate sounds with colours and textures like that. At least the second part of class was more up my alley :)  (To be continued...)

CLASS WORK: Interpretive Illustration #1 - Old Man exercise

This exercise was a bit weird, but most parts of it were fun. We were shown a picture of an old man and asked to draw him in a variety of ways. First was right side up and upside down, then all curves and no curves, pressing as hard as possible, and finally drawing to a beat. The final part was the weirdest, since the beat we were drawing to would randomly change. Overall an interesting exercise though.
