I drew this on photoshop using a Wacom tablet. I originally imported a picture of Mickey Mouse from the internet and then traced over it on a new layer using a Wacom tablet and a pen. Then, on a new layer, I colored in my newly traced drawing, also using the Wacom tablet and pen. I thorougly enjoyed learning to use this device, and, as you can see, it gives you the ability to be quite exact. Being able to trace a drawing like this greatly improved my dexterity with the tablet.

This is my favorite of all the sketches I have done. The goal of this one was to reverse the normal shading, essentially outlining the object in shadow instead of lines. I began this by doing a light sketch of the branches and leaves. Then I used a soft drawing pencil to color in the space around the form, erasing as I went. I love what I ended up with. The only odd part that I would probably change is the branch coming down from the top. It seems a little out of place, it might be better coming in from the other direction or possibly have more than just one bloom on it.

This is a sketch I did of a satsuma orange. There are obviously some flaws in the sketch, but I really like how simple it was. I used very simple lines and tried not to go into to much detail, which I think ended up looking very good. If I were to do it again I would try to make the lines a little cleaner and draw the overlaps better. Overall, though, I like how it ended up.

This is a sketch of the corner of my dorm room. I did this before we I did any perspective workshops, so everything is a little off kilter. However, I chose to post it because I really like the detail and some of the texture. Behind the chair is a bunk bed ladder that I have hung all of my scarfs on. I really enjoyed drawing this and attempting to show the different textures of the fabrics hanging up on the ladder. Although this is definitely not correct perspective, I think it shows a good start on understanding perspective and I really like the lines and details.
