Two recent projects for Art 100, the first being that vampire horror one that I had a preview of in the last post.
Recap: We had to draw a hallway in the art building and then make it “surreal”. I don’t think that way, so my friend helped me out by coming up with a theme. I was going to have the dude there to begin with, but it all turned into this weird, horrific Halloween thingie.

Made with graphite, ebony, and charcoal, plus some red conte for effect. The orange is due to the lighting in the art room. You can see a higher-resolution shot here.
The other piece is some classwork we did. We’re now officially doing value, so we started by practicing with charcoal. Now I…I am not friend with charcoal. This is also a reductive study, so I think what I learned the most is to make my paper darker the next time I go about doing this.

Ugh, just…so bad…
