In this week’s blog, I took on the challenge of drawing with an eraser. I will be creating, yet again, another portrait drawing, except this time I will be filling the page with charcoal – and using an eraser to carve out the face rather than drawing it traditionally with […]
Hannah Hammond is not your everyday acting teacher and director. In fact, the newly hired CU professor is a self-proclaimed “weirdo” and loves everything non-traditional. From the innovative practices in the classroom, her boisterous, happy-go-lucky attitude, and the “Badass Warrior Princess” sign on her office door, it’s clear that Hammond […]
Listen, I love a layered fit as much as the next gal (or anyone of any varying gender identity). But in the summer, it is simply too hot to be doing all that. I personally don’t like to classify my style because I have weird identity problems and I feel […]
The challenge for this week is fairly simple: make a pen and ink portrait, except this time to make it as small as possible, while still retaining as much detail as possible. I’m referring to it as the “tiny art challenge.” This challenge started with a quick trip to Michaels […]

Metallica recently released its 11th studio album, titled “72 Seasons,” and oh boy do I have some mixed feelings about it. First off, let it be known that I fell in love with Metallica through their ’80s music, which was defined by speed, chugging palm-muted guitar riffs, wild vocals and […]
In this week’s blog, I will be using something called the stipple technique in a pen and ink drawing. The stipple technique refers to making all the line work and the shading out of a series of dots, rather than using lines. Stippling is commonly used in pen and ink […]
Oh, what a time it was to play the game that took over the world and changed the gaming world forever. Fortnite launched a new wave of gaming that left all its competitors behind and was near untouchable for months. Now, it’s a shell of its former self leaving many […]
For this week’s blog, I’ve decided to explore the world of ambidextrous artists, and try to create something of my own. Ambidextrous refers to the ability of using both your right and left hands equally. There are several artists who have this ability, for example, one that stood out to […]
