Drawing 3 Intro Post

My name is Andrew Freeding, I am a senior here at Stout majoring in Graphic Design. I am taking Drawing 3 this semester to try and improve upon all my drawing abilities. I am hoping to produce some works in this course that could possibly be worked into a poster design that could go into my portfolio. If none of these pieces can be re-purposed though I hope that they will get my mind thinking creatively enough to come with ideas for a piece I can put in my portfolio.

I think drawing 3 will give me the freedom to explore my creativity and allow me to apply it in a way I am not usually going to do in my professional work. My strength has always been digital art which is much more forgiving to mistakes. Fine arts classes are much less forgiving to mistakes. There is no edit>undo in drawing. Drawing will teach more than just how to make a mark on a piece of paper. It will teach patience and the need to think ahead and plan your next move.

The 2 pieces I have done here at Stout that I am most proud of are as follows.
Type in Motion: Emotive Type Piece

Publication Design: Cookbook
This is only one page out of the book, but I hope you get the idea.
