Drawing Ellipses

Hi all! I know this is a little late but here goes. My name is Sonja Judkins and I've been drawing for years. I mostly do digital art (its cheaper than using real materials), but I also enjoy drawing and am hoping to improve my skills this semester. I'm hoping to do CS for my major and spend most of my free time either on the computer or outdoors. I may not look it but I've been skiing for 14 years on top of swimming, hiking, rock climbing and long boarding. Its nice to meet you all!

Introduction

My name is Kiara Emily Petersen ^.^

I don't really know what we're supposed to do for the introduction, but basically I'm a huge dork. This is my freshman year at UNM, and I'm in pre-med, although I haven't picked a major yet. I've been drawing all my life, but I only started getting good and taking it seriously my first year of high school.

I'm very artsy. I write stories, draw, do cosplay, and other things. I also really love archery and video/computer games.

Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Cobie Dixson and I am a freshman here at UNM. This is my first semester here and I don't really have a major figured out yet. :/ But I do know one thing and it's that I love to draw. I've been drawing, painting and doing digital art for as long as I can remember. I look forward to a fun semester!

Introduction

Hello everyone!
My name is Cassidy. I am a senior and will be graduating in May. I will be getting two degrees in Cultural Anthropology and Linguistics. I love drawing, but throughout my years at college I never had time to sit down and draw so I am absolutely loving this class! I really look forward to getting to know everyone and getting your perspectives on different drawing techniques.

Introduction

Yo. My name is Angel and I'm a psychology major from Roswell New Mexico. It's a small town with it much to do. I've never really done much of any type of art, much less drawing, so I'm eager to learn how to draw and experience this class.
