A little waterhouse from last weekend

Chello.

 

I am not the best blogger this month--I'm sorry! I appreciate your views and comments anyways. In all honesty, I have not made the time out of stress from many different areas of life. But, hey, I got into the Bachelor of Fine Arts Illustration Program here at BYU! So...here are some 30 second figure drawings I dug up recently for the review process. I think they're from last semester. I will put some final projects up by the end of the week, at which point I will probably be in Georgia for the last time in a long time.

But spring is here! This season means that my family will be making a much awaited move to St. George, Utah: a pleasant Southwestern town full of red rock and beautiful sunsets.We're pretty excited. Spring also means more morning walks, even more Joanna Newsom, and new goals, including a nice little makeover of my blog, still forthcoming. I'm testing out this title at the moment. I know what you're thinking, "But, Maddy, you're not Russian! Nor can you claim to have any ties to Russian culture or language!" And rightly said, I am but a Hungarian/Swedish mix, but I just like the idea of this strange, distant land. It's literature, landscape, weather, and general air of dismay has risen as this huge interest to me, for reasons I am still unaware. I read this certain line "under the Russian sky" in Pushkin's work lately and I liked it. I might bag it, but for now it's kind of working for me.

Un cerf.

I'm going to paint this.

Sketchbook Part 2

The idea of illustrating Russian literature is what's getting me excited lately.

Sketchbook Part 1

Just finished my black sketchbook.

Saturday Morning

Un petit exercice.

Sorry for taking forever to post something new. I've been avoiding the internet like the plague, due to its ability to keep me from doing productive things. I've even been slacking on tumblr posts, which are the easiest to make.

So, this was a class exercise in 2D Design that I think turned out kind of cool. I'll be posting a bigger illustration project on here dans quelques jours!
