What better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer vacation than with a random drawing?

EDIT: I'm sure there are hundreds of more exciting ways to celebrate the first weekend of summer vacation.

Animal Wildlife Final

For our final exam in Animal Wildlife last week, we had to apply what we learned in our anatomy studies to an outline of a horse and mountain lion. After a couple hours of studying (the day of) I was able to memorize everything I needed to know.

The bones were by far the easiest.

Some parts of the muscles in this photo are a little off.

It's pretty easy to get lost in this mess.

I got this down.

The anatomy exam was only half of our final. Critique on our motion studies and drawings was the next half, which took place today.

I really like my bear gesture in this one.

Motion study - running dog

Motion study - hopping antelope

My score on the critique was higher than I expected it to be, so I'm going to reward my hard work with some fig newtons. Aww yeah.

More Life Drawing

I really need to give myself more time to work on these homework assignments. Regardless, I like the way this one turned out.

Morning Sun

For our latest Life Drawing homework assignment, we had to pick an artist from a list and draw the figure in one of the artist's paintings.

I chose Morning Sun by Edward Hopper
Done in pastels.

It was a lot more difficult than I had imagined to recreate the figure. We weren't required to do the background, so I made an outline around my drawing with colors similar to those in the original.
