Art in class

Here is the Bird of Paradise I did with the wacom tablet

Fun with Sketchup

This was just me playing with the new program (or new to me) Sketch up.

And this is me trying to use google sketch-up to do a mark up of my gag comic strip.  Unfortunately most of my gag relies on facial expressions and postures and sketch-up doesn't really help with that, Plus it was really hard for me to figure out how to use besides the building buildings aspect of it.

My Map Illustration Woes :(

I was super excited about my idea for project one.  I was going to (and started to) design my map to look like a board game (a "my version" of the Life boardgame to be exact).  Unfortunately my computer chose the last week and a half to act up. I took it to the Mac store 3 times this last week and none of those times resolved the issues. For the last few days my computer has done nothing but freeze up every 5 mins making it impossible to work on my project.  I've tried to complete the assignment on the school computers in between classes but just haven't had enough time :/.  I'm sooo upset with my computer!  I really wanted to show off my design with everyone else in class!  grrrrrr....  Why does technology hate me?!

Anyway, here was an EARLY stage screen shot I took of it at school.  Colors do NOT look like this on Illustrator:

My Silhouette

Here is the illustrator version of the Silhouette of my face:

My icons and eyes

Here are the first and second renditions of my icons.  Some of them do not work so therefore I'm going to rework them for the final draft:

Here are a few eye explorations:

Map Ideas

Ok, so I've been having problems with my computer connecting to the internet, but now all is well and I can finally post pictures again!

Here are the long over due map ideas that caught my eye on Google.  I think I'm going to go with one of the board game ideas...

This is my self exploration exercise using color and lines.
