And here's some newer stuff...

Here are some work-in progress sketches so far from my anatomy illustration class. They aren't finished, but I wanted to post something new.

This is a drawing of the muscles the anterior compartment of the left thigh, and also including the femoral nerve, artery, and vein. The cut muscles are, to the left, the sartorius, and to the right, the tensor fasciae latae. I have a lot of clean up to do on this.


Then I recently started this drawing of the right kidney sitting in the abdomen, trying to show the attachments of the renal artery and vein, and the ureter. Still have a lot to do on this one also.


There will be more to show when these and other projects start wrapping up in a couple weeks.

Here's some older stuff ...

Ok so I've been out of the art loop for a while, and I wanted to update with something, so I found a few pictures of some portfolio pieces I gathered to apply to this program. When I'm able to take pictures of more recent stuff I want to upload those as well. I'll try to list this stuff in chronological order:

------

This is a charcoal drawing from freshman year, about 48"x36". It's a bedsheet nailed to the wall, and was fun as hell to draw.


Next I have a couple portraits, and a skull, from one of my painting classes sophomore year. They are maybe 10"x13" or so, I can't remember offhand. They are painted with oil on foam-core, and are more-or-less 3 hour/1-class paintings.


For the end of sophomore year painters had to do a large self portrait for the spring show. This is mine. It's (3 of) me in Boston, and took a long time to paint. I look pretty goofy, and it's definitely one of those paintings I look back at and want to change a million things. Anyways this is 72"x54", oil on canvas.


Next up are two pieces I did when I was studying in Venice junior year. The pigeon is a woodcut (except for the background which was made with scored cardboard and ink) and is from the Piazza San Marco. He's a pretty relaxed bird. It's about 9"x11".


And then from my painting class there I have 45 minute plein air oil sketch of the walk along the Zattere in Venice, across the water from Giudecca. Oil on canvas paper, probably about 7"x4.5".



Lastly from senior year I have one of many figure drawings I did. Graphite on paper, 24"x18" ... although I zoomed in on it, there's actually more white space around her.


That's all that's worth showing for now. I don't have many good pictures from other things I did from undergrad, but I'll take them next time I get a chance. These are just a couple from my portfolio to get into my current program.
