Lauren likes to Design
Lauren likes to Design
The title of this blog may be "Lauren likes to draw", but there hasnt been much actually drawing lately. Even though I went to school for illustration and would spend up to 8 hours a day drawing, over the years I have gradually become more of a graphic designer. Not only do the jobs pay better, but there is more of them.
(an old sketch book page, click to enlarge)
I spent a few years designing concert posters (see here), and made an attempt to be a portrait artist (see here), both of which were fun, but not very financially rewarding (and I have 14k of student loan debt!).
(Chalk drawing and charcoal drawing both from 2002!)
(anatomy drawing, done in pencil)
(copy of a master drawing, done in water color pencil)
So in the next few weeks, I plan to post some of my new drawings (which will be mostly still lifes (...yawn), though the teacher mentioned the last 2 classes will be drawing portraits (yeah!!!). Stay tuned.
