Absolute Garbage

Today, I decided to try out Sketchbook Pro for the first time in a while. What began as a simple trashcan, quickly escalated to the scene you now see. It was a lot of fun to make.

Second Quarter Hopes

            During first quarter, I was assigned a project to do for Scivis with Cody. Beforehand I was assigned a sketch book to draw in daily and post to my blog. I had to stop doing the sketches to help work on the Scivis project. I had enjoyed doing the daily sketches because sketching is one of my favorite kinds of art. For the Scivis, I had to do storyboarding and script writing about the Mars rover Spirit. We had somewhat of a choice on what we wanted to base the project on, and space seemed the most interesting to do. Coming up with a narrative story about the rover and its missions was harder than I originally thought. I would enjoy doing the storyboarding but that comes after the script. I’m not a big writer so coming up with ways to make the story interesting was pretty difficult. I still have not completed it and it seems like a waste sitting around with writer’s block when I could have still been sketching and improving my drawing skills. For the second quarter I would like to work on drawing again, or design. I’m not a big fan of writing and this project felt kind of forced onto us. My main interests are drawing and design, both digital and on paper.
