first semester
~~~~~
[ project one ] No Saint
A redraw of a drawing I made in tenth grade, featuring Johnny Joestar from
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run.
~~~
[ project two ] Hand Drawings
Contour, detailed, and empty space practice.
~~~
[ project three ] The Hierophant
A take on the fifth card, The Hierophant, from the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. In this, I depicted the Hierophant as a wolf, and the cardinals as lambs. I was playing with the ideas of "blind worship" and "bringing the lamb to the slaughter", as the lambs are worshiping and bowing to the very thing that eats them.

[ project four ] Hitchhiker
For this project, I created a painting of a possum wearing an inside-out sweater, as well as having a skull instead of a normal head, and part of their tail being cut so that it's just vertebrae. I chose to paint him on the side of the road with his thumb up because he's a hitchhiker.

[ project five ] Goon Squad
When I drew this I had been going through an art block so I had absolutely no idea what to do for this. So, I looked through my sketchbook and decided to redraw some of my favorite sketches, but then I got a better idea. I decided to draw these characters, but incorporate three things that I struggle with - fashion, anatomy, and poses. Title is from the song "Fashion" by David Bowie.

A drawing I did of my original character, Rem (short for Rembrandt). The title comes from Rembrandt's painting The Night Watch.
