So much homework....! We were to draw organic forms, textures, combined basic shapes, and plants... and lots of them!
My Dynamic sketching class work from this term. Rest in peace Norm.. and thanks for everything. Drawings are from field trips from the Gene Autry, L.A. Zoo, Tank museum, Plane Museum, Nethercutt Museum (cars), La Brea Tar Pits, Arboretum, and some from imagination

Week 5 focused on animals. We went to the zoo and drew all kinds of animals. Of course, this week's HW includes several pages of animals and also another animal-based re-design concept. Sketches: Re-Design - The Terratoise My idea was to create a city on the back of a gargantuan tortoise. I know it's been done before... but I wanted to really try to make a believable setting for it. My idea was that the city would be like a "steampunk" industrial city... a technology era in which airships and heavy industry are prominent. In a world where titanic beasts roam the land, humans have realized that building their cities on the ground is very dangerous, as the beasts would simply destroy the cities. The only option was to build on the animals' backs.
For those of you who have seen my blog before, you'll note that i've already taken Dynamic Sketching with Will Weston. I decided to also take the class with Peter Han, because of the two teachers differing approaches and interests. There are aspects of both classes that I like, and I think I have figured out a mix of the two that works best for me. Here is some of my favorite work from Peter's class. He also teaches classes at Concept Design Academy, so I highly recommend everyone take him! The Community Violet is my main Character. She escapes her censored community once she realizes how much is kept from her. She escapes to the unknown wilderness, and reconnects with the Earth as her only means to survive. Bean the Bat Bean Glider I wanted this character to play a practical and crucial part in Violet's survival. Based on Da Vinci wing designs, I created a harness for Bean that attaches to Violet's back. When attached, she uses Bean's wings to glide over large gaps in the earth and steers using handles, making Bean similar to a hang glider. Violet's Steam Boat. I learned the different parts of a steam engine and tried to design a river boat made from old parts that Violet may find lying around.

UPDATE Concept aquatic creature thing: Initial Sketches: Painting of a Manta: Peter Han (our Viscom 1 teacher) was super awesome and decided to hold a bonus class field trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. After being a lazy bum during this break, I was eager to meet up with class mates and get drawing again! It's a really nice aquarium, but the price is pretty high ($22/person and $8 parking). But the displays and aquatic life were wonderful. Drawing at this location was tough because there were tons of kids bumping into you and a lot of the displays are in a dark room. I had a lot of fun though! Here are a bunch of on-site sketches from the trip:

An 8-week continuation course from Dynamic Sketching 1, utilizing observational drawing to understand how to see the world from a design perspective.
