Heather gets mentored, yay

[heatherisadork]

Hey guys. joelhinxman has giving me the opportunity to be his mentee. This is really exciting!

Quick bio/info about me:

Found out I loved art back in 11th grade and pretty much made my life about art. I'm hoping to one day have a career in the arts, maybe even a college professor (seems so fun). But I feel like I'm lacking the guideance I need to advance in art. Welp thats about all i have for now.

joelhinxman asked for me to post some stuff for him to see.

I'm at my moms right now (my computers at my dorm) but I'll post what art I have laying around on the net.

some stuff

cool looks good. first thingy to start with is a still life. doesnt matter what simple is good. do it in just pencil or charcol. try to just focus on the light and shadow of the object.

alright, i should be able to start it saturday. The next 3 days are gonna be busy because of thanksgiving, going out of state till friday night.

Well heres something I did for the assignment, sorry it took awhile, finals have finally caught up to me and I have about 40 hours of work to do in a few days. I had the most trouble on the object closest to the viewer, I couldn't make it look realistic really... It's some kind of scent thing to make rooms smell good.

sorry it took so long to get back.

next thing is basicly to do it agin. but this time find something like a pecil or a chop stick and use it to measure the angels of your shapes. take one measurement then make one line. make sure constantly looking at your shapes. also use it to find relationships batween the parts of your subject. like object a and object b's tops are on the same line or the edges of the lid on the same vertical line as the x in the text. hold up your tool and measure the angle then translate that same angle back on to your paper.
