Dragon 18
Date: High School Senior, February, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
Bored, and felt like practicing dragons again after a month of not drawing with pencil much (I was working in PhotoShop more). I was going to shade it, but I wanted to keep the line art, and was unable to trace at the time, and in the end, I never did shade it.
Dragon 19
Date: High School Senior, February, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
Just practicing a different angle on the dragon.
Rose Dragon (20)
Date: High School Senior, February, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
After learning how to draw dragons, I wanted to draw dragons in certain themes. When valentine’s day came up, I decided to draw a rose theme dragon. Later, I colored this in PhotoShop.
Robotics
Date: High School Senior, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
I was bored in art class and started drawing the front view of a camera, and then added more and more to it. Then I drew a random robot. Later I shaded it the camera, but I have not scanned it… and probably never will. It seems a tad boring to me when it’s shaded…
Dragon 21
Date: High School Senior, May, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
This was drawn on glossy paper on the inside cover of a school yearbook. I planned to color it with marker but I also thought I would want to color it in PhotoShop as well, so I scanned the line art in.
Colored Dragon 21
Date: High School Senior, May, 2010
Materials: BIC Marker
This was drawn on glossy paper on the inside cover of a school yearbook. The marker turned out to have less ink in it than I thought it did, because it should have colored solid. I was glad I scanned in the line art so that I could color it on PhotoShop (eventually, I will).
Clay Dragon Collage
Date: College Freshman, July 8th, 2010
Materials: Clay; Adobe PhotoShop
I used clay to make a dragon, and I used PhotoShop to put them all together. One problem with the clay is there’s no way to make it hard. (heating it up will melt it, and letting it sit will need a few years to get it to harden enough)
Clay Dragon 2
Date: College Freshman, July 20th, 2010
Materials: Clay
My favorite picture of my second clay dragon. (it’s head kept moving back down slowly when I put it up, so normally, this dragon would have its head down)
Graduation Bear
Date: High School Senior, 2010
Time: Several hours across a span of several days
Materials: For bear: Newspaper, dry, powdered corn-starch, water, glue, brown paint, black sharpie marker.
For hat: black construction paper, light colored string, yellow marker, tape, glue.
Adobe PhotoShop to put the pictures together.
Description: A cute brown bear with a black graduation hat that has a yellow tassel. Cap is removable.
Artist Comments: I wanted to experiment with paper mache and didn’t know what to make until a friend invited me to a graduation party and I decided to make this as a gift since they really liked teddy bears. (Though after I made it, I seriously wanted to keep it…)
First, I made the paper mache paste, which took several hours as I got distracted by how awesome corn-starch feels when you mix it with water (you should try it sometime, it is as if it is a liquid and solid at in the same substance). Then I finally started making the pieces of the body. This took a long time, as many pieces had to be duplicated and resized through the experimentation. After letting them dry, I put them together and let it dry. After that, I painted it brown and put eyes and a nose on it with a sharpie marker.
Then I made the hat which was just a square piece of black construction paper and a long strip, which I taped into a circle shape. Then I cut the top of it so that I could glue a flat side to the top part of the hat. The string was difficult because I did not have any yellow string. I took some light-brown-like thread and colored it yellow with a marker. Then I cut it and made it look like a tassel with lots of tying and cutting. Then I attached it to the hat and put the hat on the bear. I wrote the date, logo, etc. on the bottom of the bear and then took a lot of pictures because I loved my creation so much! Also, the sun was hitting the paper in an interesting way; I thought it looked artistic, so I took a few pictures of it with the bear.
Dragon 22
Date: College Freshman, August, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
After seeing my dad’s friend’s bird, I was inspired to draw a dragon that was more bird-like.
Dragon 23
Date: High School Senior, 2010
Materials: Crayola Colored Pencil; Some RosArt Colored Pencil
I did this as an English class assignment. We had to draw an urn and design it. (Weird assignment, but whatever, I call it a vase!) Note: This was made during high school, but I scanned it in on the summer between high school and college, so it’s somewhat out of order.
Dragon 24
Date: High School Senior, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
Another English class assignment. My group and I were doing a project on medieval dragons, so I drew this to contribute. Note: This was made during high school, but I scanned it in on the summer between high school and college, so it’s somewhat out of order.
Dragon 25
Date: College Freshman, August, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
I wanted to draw dragons again.
Abstract Landscape
Date: College Freshman, August 2010
Materials: Staedler Colored Pencil
My friend got me a pencil set, actually a year before this drawing. I didn’t want to use them because I wanted to keep them for something special. Then later, I decided that I should use them anyway, otherwise they would be useless! So I tested out the colors. It turned out, the box had no purple, so I had to mix pink and dark blue to get that color.
Colored Dragon 22
Date: College Freshman, August, 2010
Materials: Crayola Colored Pencil
After seeing my dad’s friend’s bird, I was inspired to draw a dragon that was more bird-like. This one is colored!
Dragon 27
Date: College Freshman, September, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.7 Pencil
My first drawing while in college. I started it at lunch and finished over the next few days. It took a long time because I started with the scales, but eventually started slacking off on them and it just became my normal shading with a bit of scale mixed into it.
Male Head
Date: College Freshman, November 15th, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 pencil, reference photo
I found some pictures of someone and I liked how they looked so I attempted to draw them. It doesn’t quite look like them, but that wasn’t my goal; I was trying to draw an attractive head at different angles, not a portrait. I also changed the hair to something easier to draw.
Dragons (29)
Dragons (29) w/BG
Date: College Freshman, November 20th, 2010
Materials: Calligraphy Pen
After writing different variations of the Mayzart name with the calligraphy pen, I began to experiment more with it. I wanted to draw a dragon and put some intricate design in the background, but after drawing one, it looked so empty that I put another one, and then the wings looked like they could connect to another dragon, so I drew the body of that one behind.
Dragon 30
Date: College Freshman, November 20th, 2010
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
I was thinking about drawing a dragon related to halloween, but at the time, I could not think of anything. I figured I could draw something similar to one of my old dragons, but relate the face to a jack-o-lantern face. I colored the jack-o-lantern first because I knew how I was going to color it; the dragon was a bit harder, but I eventually figured it out to make it look very dark compared to the jack-o-lantern.
