I am of the belief that Barry White's song Can't get enough of you, babe is about Oreos.

Just to go with the theme of "wacky shit", here's a drawing that I did of a chinchilla, but after coloring it in Photoshop, it got a bit out of hand....

Just perpetuating the madness.

In hopes of trying to restore order to this thread (or just to the best of my ability), I give you something I did long ago (I have quite a bit of these, actually). This was back when I had longer hair (it's way shorter now...). One of my many self portraits...


Main thing that gets me is that it makes me look like I'm 30 years older than I actually am....

Ya'lls crazy. ^^ I like all of them immensely though (I'm particularly fond of "goofy")

We're starting a project in my design class. You're supposed to have a ball somewhere and then have some design leading to it (labrynth-y) so... these are my current three brainstorming sketch ideas for mine. I hope I have the right idea ^^;; The final piece will be 24x20"

Instructions (abridged):
invent a linear composition that implies volume in the interior of an 8" circle. around this volumetric circle create a path, an interior, or exterior passageway that is also linear

They're pretty huge, just as a warning.

(I think about an inch got cut off of the right while scanning)

Sometime I should actually post some stuff from my design class. I work uber hard on the stuff, but am too lazy to get around to getting it on my computer because they're always too big to fit inside of my scanner. ^^;

That outline for the project makes no sense to me. It sounds like you have to design something inside a ball, which is just weird. But those are shweet designs, very magical-y. They make the ball look like it's speeding off to somewhere.

Judging by what she said and the pictures themselves, the assignment is where you draw a ball and make a design around it where it's the focal point of the entire picture. "Leading" the eye to the ball somehow.

CelesJessa:
Some of those look trippy. Lots of swirls and a similar concept spread around the picture. Although, I feel that for the first and third one, there should be more complicated designs around the ball. The second one really shows this, which I like. I was always told that design is about a balance between simple and complicated. Too simple and it looks boring, but too busy and it just might look like pure chaos (unless that's what you're going for [which can be a bad thing seeing that stuff like that tends to hurt my eyes]).

Also, is this going to end up being colored? Seeing that color can be a huge factor when it comes to design.

Yeah, that sums it up pretty much, I think. You just have to have "labrynth" in mind when you do it. heh.

Yeah, The second one is actually the first one I drew and I liked it a bunch, but we were supposed to have three sketches for class, so I tried to do the other ones, but trying not to make them look exactly like the first one I drew.

Nope. It's going to be completely in technical pen, shading and everything *cries* It's going to take FOREVER.

By which you mean the use of David Bowie in your design gives you bonus points?
