Here is a collection of some of drawings, sketchings, and a painting from my first semester at the University of Maine while taking Drawing 1 and 2D Design. I ended up with the same professor for both classes and I really enjoyed him, and the majority of the assignments he gave.

Final project for drawing, the only criteria was to draw a window with something in the foreground
and background. This window is on my front door at home, I took a photograph
of the spider silhouette at school, and I looked at a cloudy night sky and photographs for reference in the background. |
