DA: Freshman Year Recap (NSFW)

For those unfamiliar with my older blog, you may not know about the kind of work I was doing last year. I am not forced, per se, but rather heavily advised to show you. Brace yourself, please. It's not going to be a pretty ride (also not safe for work, due to nudity).

Figure
Figure class was arguably one of the most important classes I took when at Ringling. Not only was it a great way to practice observational skills and get formally acquainted with human anatomy, but my teachers both semesters imparted all sorts of wisdom, whether it be about maintaining a professional demeanor in the workplace or dealing with an accidental concussion. Truly, Figure class was an education in all sorts of topics. These pictures are samples of a few works done in my second semester.

 
3D
Arguably my most anticipated class, 3D for Game Design was a brilliantly-taught class where I learned a great deal about maintaining scale, keeping a watchful eye out for detail, and the name for almost every muscle in the human body. I was also allowed to create a 1-to-12 scale miniature Bedouin tent, which was brilliant.

 Perspective
Technically Drawing 2, this class was a blast to learn about architectural drawing and lighting. James Gueney's book Color and Light is a masterpiece and anyone interested in learning anything about colour and light should get it. Seriously.

There we go! Here's to hoping I improved somewhat over the summer...
