Wildcard Sketch
For this sketch I could pick anything I wanted, an I wanted to do something that I had never drawn before, and also something intense that captured a moment. I immediately thought of a shark jumping out of the water. I used a photo reference on google when I searched for 'hungry shark'. The water in this sketch was by far the most difficult aspect of this sketch. I really like the way the shading came out on the shark, and I feel that this is going to turn into a painting at some point soon.
Illustrating Opposites
For this sketch the only thing I could think to do was a pokemon themed opposite sketch, since that is pretty much what the entire series of games is based off of. Then I thought what better tribute to pokemon than two of the original starters from the first game. So excluding grass, I drew Blastoise and Charizard, which are two of the origianl starters in their fully evolved forms. They are quite badass, and I enjoyed working on this sketch and the way it turned out.

"Aliens Eating Babies" Final Illustration
For the final composition for this piece, I wanted the first thing that catches the observer's attention to be the colors, and how they influenced each other. I learned that painting wet paint into wet paint creates a useful blending technique, and that's what I used to paint the pipes. I kept the painting fairly simplistic to keep the focus on the alien and the baby, because they are not as large as they should have been. If I was to do anything differently, I would have made the alien, table, and baby bigger, and then would have put some more "alien technology" in the background. Overall I feel the piece is a success.
Anthropomorphic Portrait Sketch
For this sketch I had to research what an Anthropomorphic Portrait even was before I could attempt it myself. I saw a lot of animals with human characteristics, and I wanted to go in a slightly different direction, so I sliced the page in half and drew a woman with a "split-personality", where her fearsome side i showing through. I think that this sketch works for the assignment because it gives off the feeling of both the woman and the tiger. If I could change anything, I would probably try to shade better without any smudging.

"Aliens Eating Babies" Thumbanil
In this thumbnail I was trying to hone in on what I wanted my aliens to look like and came to a halt when I drew the tentacles on it's head. I then developed a body that looked starved and a few extra limbs. I then decided to take the mouth off of the head and create an opening in it's chest which is more baby-eating size-appropriate in my opinion.
"Something Moving" Sketch
When I realized we had to draw something moving I automatically knew I wanted to draw a horse. They have such characteristic movements and grace. Horses have been a mode of transportation for people for as long as they have been tame-able by man. It gives the impression of movement so I believe this sketch is a success, although I might have shaded it differently if I had drawn it a second time.
