Olive de Guadalupe

For my positive and negative assignment I decided to use a photo I took of my cat. I chose this photo because she somewhat reminded me of the Virgin Mary. I really liked this assignment and is my all time favorite! I used India ink and tracing paper.

Scraggly Squirrel

Since I decided not to use a scratch board I decided to use charcoal to design this squirrel. I’ve been using charcoal in my drawing class and so I wanted to use it for this scraggly furry friend. I tried to give it a little bit of value but then again keep it simple. I feel like when I overdo things I make things worse so I didn’t want to risk that.

Hermit Crab in Shell

This is my assignment for realism with color. I’m not good with giving shades especially with colored pencils, so I tried my best. I used a bit of water color as well as alcohol and white paint for some areas to give it a realistic look for the hermit crab.
