Illustrations taken from over heard conversations

For my design class, we had to eavesdrop on strangers [ creepy, right? haha] and write down their conversations and draws some of the surroundings.
We took from those conversations snippets or whole parts of convos and had to illustrate them with text, value and shape. 3 of them. with ink,pencil and paper.

Here are my 3.



"I heard him on the phone."
"Do you have to draw a picture?"
"From now until then, that's how much time I have."

They are graphic and bold and I like them for the most part.
They could have been thought out a bit more, but I started with one item in the image and just started drawing and developing as I was going.

I like this assignment and it was our first big out of class assignment. 

More to come! Enjoy!

Tracings


In the first week of my Design 1 class [Art 140]... We did tracings of any 5 images we liked that we found on google images. I chose an owl, a few black and white photographs and some modern/1970s designs. 

The first one is done with straight graphite pencil. We had to layer the images and put the center of all the images in the same place on the tracing paper.


The second one was the same concept but we could use color pencils as well and 5 different images if we so chose. Also, you could place the images how ever you liked on the paper.


This is a new blog for the Design 1 class. It will probably be updated more often than my brogan photo blog[b/c it is for a class], which is terribly unfortunately but when I blog I always end up typing too much and rambling. but who knows? 
so anyhow.
enjoy!
