Daniel Guzman

Daniel Guzman's work uses a lot of the techniques we have learned in class. His work contains a lot of different ways to shade the objects being drawn. Although abstract, I liked a lot of his pieces.



This piece has shading in the face to give it more detail. It doesn't have a lot of detailed lines to make out the planes of the face, but I think the way he shaded it did a good job to make it look more realistic. In the hair of the people there is a shape to portray shininess, kind of like what we did with the cartoon activity.




The shading in this picture has more of a cross hatching look to it. I like the contrast of the black background to the white objects in the middle. I kind of feel that the focus of the picture (the woman and thing underneath her) are not really in sync with the background, which seems more scribbled and not given as much attention.




I'm not at all sure what this is. The top of the picture reminds me of the activity we did when we made the whole page black and erased it away.

Simone Shubuck

Simone Shubuck, known for her flower arrangements, is also an artist known for her drawings. I believe that her work with floral arrangements, has inspired many of her drawings, which represent or symbolize flowers. Many of her pieces are somewhat abstract, but she does a good job of integrating all aspects of the drawing.




This drawing has many different shapes and lines. Despite the fact that all of the lines are not perfectly parallel, it adds to the character of the drawing. I'm not sure completely what this is a drawing of, but I like it.




I really like this picture. It has a lot of different shapes within the picture, but it works. I may like it because it is so colorful, but there is a lot of detail within the picture.




This picture is very detailed, but I'm not amazed by it. I'm kind of bored, but I believe it took a while to draw it. It goes back to the flower inspiration. Again, not really sure what Shubuck was trying to achieve, but is interesting.

Susan Turcot

Susan Turcot has a really interesting style of drawing, somewhat similar to what we did in class this week. Many of her drawings seem to have some sort of object or focus, but it done with scribbles, or at least the outside edges of it are. There is a lot of detail in the focus of the drawing.




This drawing has more detail than the others. The scribbling, flowing lines of the picture seem to be incorporated into the drawing. I don't believe the rest of it is scribbled.




This one is interesting. It seems as if she drew the picture, and then scribbled on top of it as an after thought. I'm not really sure what this drawing is supposed to be.




I thought this one was really cool. It is as if she drew the tree very detailed and the scribbling is shooting out of it. It is kind of abstract. I think it is really cool how she can make the drawing into two different drawing styles, yet still have them be connected.
