Here is a long pose. I believe both of this was an hour.  I still need work on these long poses, I have a tendency to make my legs longer than they should.  This one is better than most but still need work.  But so far this is my favorite.  Also work on hands and feet which will be delving into in the coming weeks.

More Gestures

Here are some more gestures that are more fairly recent.  They range from 1-5 minutes.

Gestures

These are a few gestures from Figure Drawing class that I did in the early weeks here at Ringling.

Riley's Wall

Over the summer my high school musical director asked me to paint a mural on her daughters wall and also draw her daughter as a Disney Princess (Still working on that....).  It was really enjoyable and hope to maybe to some more stuff to the furniture over my winter break.

So here is something I did before I came to Ringling. Snape is my favorite character and I love how alan portrays him especially in the scene where he kills Dumbledore, the only man who fully trusted Severus.  I was trying a new coloring style.  I'll probably look back on this and think, what the crap! but for now i'll like it.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood

So my first blog I thought I'd start off with my set design I did for my fall musical my senior year of high school   The musical was The Mystery of Edwin Drood which was Charles Dickens last and unfinished novel that was turned into a musical where the audience gets to determine the outcome of the ending.  There is great actor audience interaction and I was the Chairman of the Music Hall Royale (the one in the red coat and top hat.  So basically it was a play, within a play....long story not going to go into detail.  It was truthfully a privilege and an honor to do this.  My director never had a student design a play for her so am honored that i was her first after years of directing.  I hope that maybe I could do this again in the future

The one pictured bellow is of the big piece I had to finish: the backdrop of the cathedral city of Cloisterham. The backdrop was 20 by 50 feet so it was a monster to paint. I had help thankfully and thank all of those that helped when they could.  Obviously it aint perfect and there are some things i never really got to finish or go back and fix and I think you can see the problem areas. But this all won me some very nice awards in the end and again, this was something that I was honored to tackle and glad I got the chance to do something like this I would also like to thank Director Amanda Hestwood, Tech Director Jimmy Stocco and Set Designer George Juarie thanks for the support.
