What I've learned from art class!!

 Well, I'm taking an art class this semester, as some may already know. I would like to show my homework assignments that I have had to do for art class with you good people of Giantbomb!! First, here is an art blog that I have made last year.

Through this new art class that I am taking, I believe that my skills in art have improved. I believe that it’s because of the nice stuff that I bought specifically for the class!! Or perhaps it’s because of a knowledgeable art professor. = - P It's mostly the professor telling me how to use the drawing instruments.

I mainly work with different types of graphite, charcoal, pastels, and colored pencils. The professor mainly wants everyone to draw household objects, and other miscellaneous decorative items, and so it’s what I do! I draw on a 18" X 24" (45.7 X 61 cm) drawing pad.

Well, here’s my artwork! Please note that on two of the drawings, I’ve blotched out my real name. Everyone should know that “Tyler York” is just an alias that I respond to. Also, there was one experiment that I've done just to test out and mix the pastel colors, and it's the landscape picture.

Hope you all liked and see the improvement in the way I draw. Please leave comments and such. Until next time Giantbomb!!

I like the island one the best, it feels right.

yeah that's good I guess . 

" I like the island one the best, it feels right. "

I DIDNT WASTE MY MONEY AND SWEAT ON YOU TO GROW UP TO BE AN ARTSY FAG, SON ! 
SO DISAPPOINT RIGHT MEOW. 
 
 
nice stable drawings, bro. iLike

Interesting choice of colors used for some of your work. I dig.

Avoid lines whenever possible, use shaded colors instead. And if something is black, give it some life with gray or even white highlights instead of making it pure black because that makes it look flat. Kind of like how you've given depth to the colored objects, you should do with the black stuff. When you get the shading right, it's on the right track. And unlike the other people, I don't like the island at all. I like your colored 'eggs' or whatever in the last two pictures, those two and the third picture is also quite colorful (even though you're line-killing that milk canister). 
 
Keep it up!

Apparently I've been looking forward to this. Today must be my lucky day

" I don't think it looks good and I'm deadly serious. I'm comparing you to the best out there and I'm being super harsh, this is pure shit. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or destroy your dreams and I'm not trolling. I seen an art video by a guy working at Bethesda and that looked good, this doesn't and I'm not gonna pretend like it does, so there. "

" @JJWeatherman:  Because I am cold a bitter. I'm lucky I'll probably never have any kids as I'd make them feel terrible and want to die. Deadly serious here. "

I have a confession to make.. I CAN'T DRAW BOOBS! No matter how many art classes I took, tutorial videos I have watched or how often I have tried I can not draw them. I have no clue why. Back when I still drew I could draw a great picture of a lady, but the boobs always looked off and ruined the whole thing.

the dead tree island with the moon is super awesome

I feel like a lonely tree on an island. So, that's my favorite. I liked the last two also.

Far better than anything I could ever do.  And I really like them too.

I like the far right one, so clean colors.

i like them. i think you should color, shade, all in the same direction. you get those weird lines a lot of times. you should also use i don't know what they are called but it's white and you make shades with them. it's like a hard piece of rolled up paper with a point. 
 
get any ladies from art classes? i noticed that when i took art classes there were a lot of hot girls in that class.

If Tyler York really is your name, then you are a lucky man.

Ya gotta turn that form duder!

Good drawings man. Get in there, practice and blow it up :) It looks like you got some nice new pencils and stuff so get busy and wear those down.

The drawings look good! :)

I totally have a big metal milk can like that in my house... 
As for constructive criticism, emphasis on lighting and shadows creates more depth to an object so it might help to push them further to make objects less flat and solid coloured. 

Oh god I thought your name was Taylor York first and I just kind of had to do a double-take to check if it really was.

It makes me really happy to see people so excited about showing their own drawings (I want to be an art teacher soon). I do not know if you are into this kind of thing but you should visit these websites: conceptart.org, abduzeedo.com and benhance.net, Those are Design websites but I think you may find some inspiration in them. Also, check out Burne Hogarth and Andrew Loomis books. You may learn a lot of stuff from them.  
 
@  Cirdain: Nice drawing I really like it. As a friendly advice, you should sharpen your pencils or use harder ones. By the way the drawing looks, you used something from B2 - B8... Or I may be wrong and its just the quality of the image. :D 

V birds? Really?
