Studies

I really haven't been able to do anything because I find myself uninspired.
I suppose it's been a good opportunity to experiment and do studies though. Not really too proud of anything I've done along the lines but I finished something today that doesn't look completely hideous so here it is.
Had fun playing with negative space and dabbling in photoshop painting. It was fun to kind of break my method of operating and do a few other things.
Mind you this probably isn't the most interesting thing I've done but I figured a portrait of Christina Hendricks would be simple enough.
Anyway, moving forward's better than sitting still.
Hope you guys like it.

Semester Comes to A Close

Really have enjoyed my time here and it's going to be really hard for me to part with this place for a month. I know people around me are saying they can't wait to get home but honestly I wish I could just stay and work.  I guess it's a good excuse to go back and focus more intensely on my personal projects and to process the vast amount of information I've learned.
Here are two finals I turned in, didn't have time to work on them fully and I wish I could finish polishing but I just couldn't find the time this last week.
Seriously blessed to have been able to come to Ringling and I'm looking forward to wherever my journey here takes me.

Hard to be keepin' up with those personal projects and sketches with all the final projects I have.

Speedpaint from DPSC tonight. Took like forty minutes (Which is way longer than it should have). It wasn't really the topic as we were supposed to make T-shirt design. But to me that really just means "Zach, make this portrait of a pink Demon Dude"

More ink n' junk!






More ink sketches and even some observational stuff. Tryin' to keep myself busy

Media: India Ink, Faber Castell B pen, 2B pencil, Micron Pen

A blogspot!





Well, I told myself that if I finished the study I was working on I'd open up a blogspot. 
. . . So here we are. I figured it best to cover all my bases so to speak and that I should go ahead and jump onto the blogspot bandwagon. I'll try my best to regularly update this with not only my personal studies but classwork as well. Hope you guys like it.

I've never really studied much of anything besides the human figure, "Still life"s and master studies, so I thought I'd try my hand at doing internal spaces because it's something I'm interested in working on. Not the greatest thing I've ever done, but I gotta start somewhere I guess.

(Note to self, should probably figure out all the bells and whistles that come with a blogspot and I should also work on making a header)
