Sketches + Final - Blind Contour + Still life



I will admit it, I can't help but look at the page at least once during any form of contour drawing which is why Liv's looks maybe a little too believable.


I hear Orchids are like Phoenix's, when they die they you just carry on like usual with them and soon enough you'll have a fresh start again.
Mine died about 2 months ago now and it get browner by the day, I'm losing my faith. 

Sketches + Final - Vehicle project



This is some older stuff that didn't get scanned in.

Vehicle Project

Obviously as you can see most of these are just fast drawings I did to try and understand the different types of car structures and how they when angled.

All I can really do is moan about how cold it was that day so I didn't spend that much time on them because it clearly shows in my Final, I ruined the curve of the car and the perspectives look all off.
If I spent more time on practicing I might have achieved a better outcome.

Foolish Neglect.

As far as blogging goes you can clearly see that I have been slacking on the amount of work I have been uploading, it is complete, I just think that some part of me must of pushed it to one side in my brain which is obviously unacceptable as critical studies is a significant chunk of my grade.

I will try my very hardest to get back into the habit of more regular uploads, I am pleased with my blog and I feel I can certainly keep improving it.

On the project side I really feel like I'm improving especially at 3D design, 3DS Max finally feels comfortable to use and i'm constantly seeing people find faster ways to do the smaller things which is always a great help.

I'm not sure wither i'm nervous or not for this upcoming assessment, I know deep, deep down I want nothing more than to continue to better myself with all my amazing new friends and tutors. I just hope that's taken into account before the fact that I have had no prior experience on or with anything to do with the course other than A2 Graphics, Photography and GCSE Art which I can now see didn't really teach me half as much as it should of. Luckily that's starting to change, in my mind it was mainly because of how bad the teaching was that I've had prior to the course, the first sense of real encouragement I received was due to my Foundation year at UCA and all my peers on that short course, now because of DMU and the support I've had here I can genuinely see my future steadily unraveling in front of me.
I just need to chance to carry on proving myself.

Really wish I still had 100% attendance though, I don't think I've ever tried so hard to keep it up but unfortunately I missed 3 or 4 of the optional seminars at the start of the year and since then 2 lessons that I forgot to email ahead about when I was ill but nether the less somewhere above the 90% margin will make me really proud considering this is the first time in my life I've had to rely on myself to make sure I pick up my pace, nobody there to molly coddle me anymore :'(
