Description
Alright, so this is more or less the key thing we're doing at Uni right now. Every Monday we get a list of artists that we have to research, and then do a journal page about. Basically we're supposed to include some info about each artist and then draw one of their artworks, or something in their style or something along those lines, and this is my journal so far. I decided to include everything I got up to this point, the good the bad and the ugly. Some of these I am proud of, some I seriously never want to speak of again, and most are somewhere in between. These journal pages are my acquaintance with traditional media though, so even though right now I got a long way to go, I am confident that, in time, I'll get a better grasp of it.I am far too lazy to list the tools used for each individual image, but my repertoire goes something like this: pencils, colored pencils, pastels, chalk, conte, acrylics, a whole lot of watercolor, and a little guache.
ALSO, since the original size of this image is of somewhat gargantuan proportions, I decided to make the real size download only. Don't want to crash any browsers or nothing. For those of you with slower bandwidth however, I also have this journal update split up into three parts (they're still pretty big though), which you can access

I've seen several cases where assignments like this are handed out and nothing comes of it. It's really nice to see it done correctly, and not only correct, but incredibly well done!

These are fantastic.
In my one utterly forgettable year in design school, I hate hate HATED the whole keeping-an-art-journal thing. I hated the mandatory analysis that teachers seemed to want.
This is the kind of journal I always WISH I knew how to keep.

I'd personally like the Euan Uglow one a lot more if I hadn't put orange in there. Oh well, live and learn! Good to hear you like it anyway!

The first and last on the right row are the only two I recognized without reading any words (Da vinci, and Picasso's blue period, respectively). I need to go back to my Art Appreciation class
Great job!

FabianMonk In reply to chriscopeland [2007-10-24 15:07:31 +0000 UTC]
Hey you too man. I really gotta say by the way, I'm glad you're not afraid of attacking the art world in a way that seems most comfortable to you, i.e. entirely in your own style, without deadlines. Just don't ever see it as backing down, a lot of artists have day jobs that have jack shit to do with art.
Of course you know all of that, haha, I just felt like encouraging. I got a positive feeling about this, I think you'll be showing some real quality shit in the HOPEFULLY not too distant future!

Thanks yo, yeah man, i gotta say, i cant wait to start posting again all the stuff i been working on, its been GREAT.
Yeah im never backing down man, i just know that when trying to break in over here with these comic companies, and whatever else other company out there, it becomes so much of a grind date that you tend to forget the purpose of why you wanted to have a job in the art field in the first place which is PASSION. I have finally found my passion again, and im loving the feeling of drawing without deadlines, and pressure, its AWESOME! I got a lot to show, and tons of catching up to do, but im finally on my way.
You will definitely be getting a good look at my dopest shit in the very not too distant future, as soon as my son gives me some time to sit and actually post some shit, lol.
Thanks for the love though homey, and i cant wait til we put our next piece together, knock some people off their feet real quick, lol. ONE!
