concentration 2- houses I lived in




For my second project I drew the houses I grew up in/ lived in. The different sizes of the boxes represent older to newer memories, how with each house I grew physically and as a person, or just a sort of timeline in which order I lived where. I included each address as a way to remember how each house is not like the other, how specific memories are held dear to each place I lived. Overall, I guess Im happy with the final project. My initial intention was to have the oldest house to be in black and white and gradually make the newer house full of color to represent how distant my memories of each place are; obviously that is not what happened because I was being a dumb and forgot. The houses themselves are okay at best, I suck at drawing buildings sooo. When I was planning my concentration, I didnt want to make each piece to be in a storyline, I wanted to just capture and relive significant things I remember from my childhood. This is no exception, it does not connect to the first project but is connected to the concept of my childhood as a whole.

Zuko was one of my favorites because even though things got tough for him, he always strove to be better, stronger; and when he lost his way, he eventually found a way to be at peace with his past and who he is as a person. Description In this piece, Zuko, a firebender, is hovering over a small flame with almost a sad expression. The f

concentration 1- cartoons I liked

Image
My concentration is childhood because looking back on my childhood makes me feel better, I love looking back at old pictures to see from a different perspective of old memories I have. For my first project, I chose cartoons I loved years ago and drew my favorite character from each show. I used colored pencil and marker as my mediums. My idea for this project was to illustrate younger me daydreaming of my favorite shows and not exactly paying attention in school. Overall, I am pleased with the final draft, I wish I had drawn myself differently; however, it does portray me bring younger so I guess its not a total loss. I really like how I drew the characters and I'm pleased with the visible progress I made with drawing human figures and different positions. I want to improve on drawing hands because I still suck.

concentration 3- Pets I had

Image
As the title shows, I drew the animals I grew up with. I wanted to draw the animals together to show how they were all part of the family. From oldest to youngest, the cat, Figaro, was a rescue my mom brought home before I was born. He lived a very long life of eighteen years and was arguably one of the most patient cats. There are pictures from when I dressed him in clothes for dolls and put hair clips all in his fur. The cocker spaniel, Charlie lived until he was twelve and was very loyal. When my sister was very young, my mom and dad bought him as a puppy. He was well behaved and trained. Sadie was a golden retriever, living until seven or eight. My family actually bought her from my great aunt in Ohio when their dog, Libby, had one of many litters of puppies. When my dad, sister, new stepmom (ew), and I moved to Florida, my stepmom was a bitch and didnt want to keep her so she forced my dad to give Sadie to church friends. Finally, Scrappy is a yorkie terrier and is currently
