Poseidon is the god of the sea, why not do something complex to show my interest in aquatic and marine life, So to show interest why not pick the god of aquatic life showing the mystic design just like the mystic sea creatures.
I used a pencil to sketch out the design for it, cross contoured the entire design and went back over it in ink and used an eraser to take the excess lines away.

I am a huge shoe fanatic, so for Charcoal Still-life why not use one of the biggest hype shoes to do the design, Yeezy's, being my favorite shoe why not challenge yourself and draw a really detailed design many will enjoy.
So I drew everything out in pencil then went back over it in charcoal to create the design and some pastels for color followed by an eraser to create the lighter tones

For Clay I decided to make a more natural jewelry box feel to show the design from earth whereas the clay comes from, where everybody picked a basic box i decided to do a more complex design with more detail, just to be different and challenge myself.
I made it from slabs mostly as they all have their shape, even made a few drawers with handles and made a wood-grain pattern/texture into the side.

Claustrophobia is one of the most common phobias so why not, i'm a little claustrophobic so why not make a piece with symbolism.For acrylic i decided to go with a blue tone showing claustrophobia for my fear,
I drew everything in pencil, and painted it, the key to paint is layers so the more i did the more the detail pops out.
Everyday people make the world a bad place, so much judgement and negativity around everyones scared to be themselves so they follow someone else and that defeats the point of being original and being true. Nobody should have to get up and worry about what someone thinks to start their day fight the negativity and be positive.
For my Character study i decided to go truthful and whole, and show how i do things that make me happy no matter what the cost, its all drawn in pencil i just went over it numerous times to create detail
Character study
I always like classic Horror movies the newer ones arent as in detail as the older ones id perfer friday the 13th over many of todays horror movies, so nothing really can take credit from the classic. For Oil pastel i decided to go with my favorite horror Character, Jason Vorhees.
Which i sketched everything out in pencil, marked the darker values and started to apply pastel, then went back over it in oil pastel and layered it for detail.

For my collage, i decided to do my favorite rapper Lil Uzi Vert, his music speaks to me on another level and i relate heavily to alot of his songs and i respect his crazy style and the way e started at the bottom and made his way to the top. So its always enjoyable to do a fan art for a celebrity.
I drew everything in pencil first then i cut paper to fit the design and layered it up until i got good value and detail.

For my presentation piece i made a sculpture of sea-life to show my interest, dolphins sting rays and starfish are some of my favorite aquatic animals so i figured id focus my project on them, so i can make all the details and get the textures right.
I hand sculpted the animals and slipped and scored them to add the to the piece and glazed them according to the visual look.
