SO CLOSE

The title of this post pretty much says it all. In just a week, all work must be turned in! A year's worth of progress, unbelievable! That being said, I worked a lot on my drawings this week. I think I touched every one at least once, with some being worked on more than others. Here are those that showed the most progress:

I touched a drawing this week that I haven't worked on since first semester, and I have to say, it's taught me a lesson on how much these drawings style have evolved and grown in just a short amount of time. It was scary to go back into it, but I think it will be well worth it when it's done, because it has been one of my favorites this year (don't tell my other drawings, they might get jealous).

So after this week, with around 20 hours of drawing this week alone, I have 5 drawings that are without doubt finished, 4 that are so damn near finished that it's killing me, and 3 that are mostly finished but still can't pass as complete drawings yet. That's not including the pocket-sized sample drawings I carry around with me in my spare time. I'm pretty satisfied with that number, and I know if I put some serious hours in this week they will all get finished, no problem. That way I can pick and choose my very favorite when show time rolls around. It's crunch time now haha.

In addition, I went to Michael's to find some double-sided tape with which to hang my drawings on acrylic strips nailed to the gallery wall (thanks to grad student Amanda Lilleston for the tip!). Found some great acid-free, removable, clear tape that I tested on some scrap paper. It held all weekend, taped straight to a wall, and could be removed without much hastle. Thank the heavens for this development! With one step out of the way, I can get the plexiglass and finishing nails for the rest of the display this week. Wahoo!
