sketchbook

Flipping through the sketchbook for inspiration.

So thankful for this experience that I shared with my class today. For the last 3 spring semesters, I’ve had the opportunity to take my KCAI Cultural Safari senior sketchbook class to draw from donor cadavers. Every year I am reminded of how amazing and intricate the human body is. I am also humbled by the generosity of the donors giving their remains to train young physicians. The conversations that result from these encounters always prove to be enlightening and inspirational. These are a few of my drawings I made.

seeking my own style, looking towards fashion croquis. I hate the proportions, but the stylization is crazy unique

Lulu and her cat

Had to start a new sketch to make it in full color and stuff. Again, like it as it is at this stage. No, not gonna create a third one.

Uploading my first piece. I call it the "the sad cat"

This is a digital drawing of waves crashing on the beach.

The initial intent was to make a complete sketch with watercolor. But. I just couldn’t. (Made another sketch like that though)

I added a background, with scribbles. It's fun at times to not care if things are "good enough". Art isn't meant to be perfect.

It’s impressive what a couple minutes abstract sketch is capable of. Ink (Pigma Graphic 1) and watercolor on plain paper.

It’s charmander mid attack

So much going on in this, but it was really fun to draw.

My soul has been severed in two, like Yin and Yang, these parts interlace. Only both are beast.
