sketches

I like to sketch people when they are not moving

(when they are concentrating on doing something, or watching something or sleeping.)

these models are my roommates and close friends.

and another Casy, writing paper on her labtop.

quick sketches are very fun to do. I like how simple lines can do so much in short period of time.

I think that’s why I like drawing much better than painting.

these sketches are also becomes good reference of my oil paintings.

Pick one Artist!

in my research studio class, my teacher wanted us to pick an artist and work based on their work.

my artist was Art Spiegelman who is amazing cartoonist and published this amazing graphic novel called Maus.

I read his work when I was 13 years old and I was really fascinated by his narrative story about holocaust.

our first assignment was pick one of his work and draw three images.

first one has to be coppy of his original work,

and second one has to be abstract one based on the first one,

and third one has to be non-representative work.

so.. I picked the cover of Maus 2nd vol.

and copied it.. but not really.

I drew this more like a realistic because I did not want to just copy the cartoonic version of drawing

abstract one.

non-representative work.

one thing about this one is this piece went back to beginning and did not continued from the abstract one.

I should have made this piece more cubism and avoid drawing straight lines to make my works perfect for the assignments.. .
