Advanced Figure Drawing 2: Finishing March

Here are a couple drawings from this last week of March! I started trying out charcoal and I like it quite a bit.  The first sustained pose is done in Vine Charcoal and the second one is done in Compressed Charcoal. They are very different but both are good.  I love how dark the Vine can get! The only problem is that Vine is super super transitory.  If you breathe too close to it your drawing may just blow off the page.  It's very tricky.  I had to spray about a gallon of fixative to get it so I could close my pad of paper without ruining it!

T-shirt Design Commission

A friend of mine is a film major and he is working with a group of high school students this semester on some film projects.  At the end of the semester they are putting on a film festival.  He asked me to design t-shirts for the members of this group.  It was a great experience and I felt honored to be asked to do it!  I learned a lot about collaborating and I realized that I really need a refresher course in Illustrator.  Here is what the finished design looks like:

I realize this is hard to see, but as it is printed on a gray shirt the lines are white (I just put the gray behind part of the text so it could be read).

Here is an alternate design just for fun (as they could only print white and red the gradient and such wouldn't work in the printed design)
