"drawing isn't a science."

Remember how Novem says that much of drawing is intuitive? Need a little extra "perspective" on perspective? Check out this excellent blog post by Danny Gregory.

time to bring out the color

Next week is Color Week! Be sure to bring your Color-Aid paper with you to class on Monday. If you haven't had the chance to purchase your paper yet, it may be a good idea to try asking around 2nd-Year studio to see if any students have extra that they are willing to sell at a discount rate...

d.c. at night

Love this photo from Jennifer Cochran's blog

and this one from Sara Easterling's.

Did you capture some great images in Washington? If so, post them on your blog and we'll get them up here for everyone to see!

Here are a couple of my favorites, but they need captions. Best suggestions (in the comment section) get a prize!

Looks like Jake wasn't the only one documenting presentations this week. Check out these drawings pulled from Sara Zales (top) and Meg McMillian's (bottom) blogs:

One blog I enjoy visiting regularly is Mithi's Creative Journey. Mithi currently studies Illustration at the Bristol School of Art, Media and Design at the University of West England. One of the things that is interesting to me about Mithi's work is how many of her projects closely relate to the ones we do in IARc. This is especially the case today. Check out Mithi's current assignment. Sound familiar to those of you in 112-02? Also, pay special attention to the way Mithi writes about her work. She does a terrific job of explaining each project and the process involved in completing it. We can all learn from this.

presentation layout ideation

This is an example of a presentation layout for a project I was working on a few years ago. Strive to achieve a similiar level of detail in your own scale thumbnails as it will help you tremendously when it comes time to assemble your boards.
