John Stuart here. i apparently was signed up for another blog here, so my name is ridiculous.
Anyways!
finals:
Color final: [taken from a photo i took in town 4 of Cinque de Terre. 16hrs. Pastel, graphite, colored pencil
Other final [ black and white]:
It's a Virgin Mary [...I think!] that was in a crevice on the way up to the tower in veranza. Time: 16 hrs. Graphite
Detail:
And the two that I liked best of my own stuff from in Italy are both lions!
This is one of the lions on the outside of the Pitti.
And this is one of the lions on the front of our "classroom".Sure looking forward to seeing everyone again in the fall, and thanks for the memories!

Tone paper version of "The Rape of the Sabine"
Bacchus
Okay, now for the new stuff. I drew two pieces for my finals.
for my first, i revisited "The Rape of Poyxena" spent 18 hours here. it's 18x24
here's a detail. the helmet was one of the most difficult parts
For number two, i needed something in color
It's i picture of a friend of mine. I really liked the angle and felt i neede to work on some foreshortening. i'll be honest after 13 hours i lost count, but i don't think i went over 20. it's 20x16
here's a detail of the face.

Details of my Final
Okay... I've been working on my final for a while now, and I've picked out some of a few detail areas for show.
I decided to do a landscape shot of Vernazza. Not just because I adore that city, but it had so many cool details from the personalities of the houses, to the gorgeous combination of land and sea.
I got a giant poster and started to pencil the main spots a shadows in, like Jay taught in Italy, and it made it a lot easier to get going on the project.
I hope you enjoy it!

Idea for Final
I hope I get this in the right place; I've never used a blog before.
Instead of doing three separate ten hour drawings, I've decided to do a trip-tic. In the left panel will be my cousin reading a book, and her new husband doing the same in the right. The center panel will be them together.
