This is my sketch for the week. It's of a sea turtle. I was inspired to draw this sea creature due to my interest in texture. I like the texture of turtle's shells. I have two turtles as pets and it's really interesting to watch them grow out of their shells and to find pieces floating on the water. They look like little puzzle pieces. Even though you can't see the shell in this particular sketch , I looked at the skin of the turtle as well, noticing the patterns and wrinkles found in this animal. I suppose this sketch would look better if I had shading it and that is something that I admit I need to work on. My problem is that I don't have the patience to shade but it is definitely something that I would like to work more on. However, something that always inspires me and interests me is texture.

This is a multimedia piece I did for a photography assignment. We used scanners as a form of taking pictures. Our task included collecting materials and making a story out of things we found and made. My story was a about a dinosaur. I drew the dinosaur and make the background with textured paper , watercolors, and pastels. I also used aluminum foil and fabric to give the image more depth and texture. After scanning the image I took into Photoshop and messed with the hue and saturation of the color as well as the brightness and contrast. I really like experimenting with texture and I am happy with how this image turned out.

This is an image I took with my Canon 35 mm film camera. I really like photography and this camera is rather old but I love the images that I can produce with it. I am still in love with black and white film and developing even though most pictures are taking digitally. This comes from a roll of color film I was messing around with. Once again, I want to focus on the texture found on the window. My mom was a little upset with me when she saw this photo because it showed the world how dirty my windows in my room are. However, I didn't mind one bit because I was so fascinated by the colors and textures produced. I was quite happy with how it turned out. I just feel that taking pictures with film can make ordinary places and objects you seen tons of times more extraordinary.
