Here's some info... I've drawn on and off for a number of years... Over the summer I just decided to double major in my current major (Computer Science) and Art.

The last time I've done any artwork was ~4 years prior to taking this Drawing I class when I went to an art school and decided it wasn't for me.

At any rate, here are some of the things I produced this quarter, some were in class and some were out of class assignments.

I apologize in advance for the picture quality in a lot of these, they were all taken on my cell phone. I don't have easy access to a scanner right now.

The follow are a series of 6 done for an out of class assignment where we're take take elements of content (subject matter, style, composition, etc) from a well known artist. I chose Chet Zar for mine. These were to be done on small scale, no more than 9 square inches; all mine were 3x3.

In class skull studies, done on charcoal paper first covered with powdered charcoal, then erased and added to with more charcoal for darker areas:

My final out of class assignment, the basic theme was to be portraying motion:

I know there's a lot of things that could be improved on a lot of them. I'm hoping I can keep up the discipline to keep drawing on my own time over winter break, and beyond. I really enjoyed the professor we had, he's very humble even though he's very successful and is very helpful/encouraging. Regrettably I can't take Drawing II next quarter because of a schedule conflict with a required computer science class, but I'm doing an independent study with him in the spring (even though I already have 2 studio classes scheduled that quarter, heh).
