Blind Contour Continuous Drawings

For these art peices I didn't look at my paper whilst drawing. The goal of this exersize is to focus entirely on your subject.



Subject Practice

For these two drawings, I first drew the character and the subject right side up. For the second drawing, I drew the character upside down while looking at the upside down subject. The goal of this exersize is to focus on drawing specific parts of the subject. The drawings are based off of the Portait of Stravinski by Picasso



August 20th through 22nd 2024

This is the cover of my art notebook.

I used strings to make the white and blue lines. I used my fingers to make the red splotches.



More texture art

The orange and red one was made by finger painting a sponge, then pressing it to the paper. The primary colored dots where made by painting bubble wrap with q-tips then pressing it onto the paper.

This was my first art assignment, the prompt was "What makes you feel like you belong?".

One thing that makes me feel like I belong more than any others is the ability to create things with those I love, whether a meal, a remodeled room, or a garden. Being able to create things with my friends and family, spending time with them, and leaving something that will last in the world makes me feel most like I belong.


The drawing is a simplified version of the idea I had to represent belonging. Originally the idea was to have people placing puzzle cubes into a spherical monolith to represent creation. I simplified it to just the puzzle sphere.
