Gluttony

Here is my latest artwork. I'm attempting to depict "Gluttony" in all it's forms. I chose to use a burger to depict this concept because burgers are something that i'm habitually gluttonous over. But there's things that we tend to be gluttonous over that aren't even food. Sometimes we overly consume television or video games. There's a lot of us that may be addicted to some of these things, such as cigarettes, gossip magazines, or even Facebook. Sometimes these things just look so delicious it's impossible to resist. I had a lot of fun creating this drawing. As gross at it may appear, I still became hungry for a big juicy burger every time I sat down to work on this.
I sketched out this drawing very thoroughly, I rendered out every detail. Then I scanned it in and laid color over the sketch. I did spend some time going in and working out some further details after that, but I really spent the majority of the time just working on the sketch. I've found that the more you figure out in the sketch phase the easier it becomes to render the color and reach a nice finish.

  2. Love it! It's very well done and isn't just a cool pick to look at it causes some self reflection ;) You're the man! I occasionally browse around your art and you've always done great work but I've definitely seen improvement in your recent work too.

    1. I think you're right Zach. It's crazy to look back and see how much I've learned in just the past year. It just goes to show what a great program we have at UVU, both staff and students included.

  4. This really is fun to look at, and Rob and I were talking about gluttony in its forms the other day. Well done. I smiled when I saw the shoes and the sale tags. Well done!

    1. Hey Banshee! haha, I had to go to your profile to see who you were. Thanks for checking out my blog. It was a lot of work, partly because it was a final so I had to step it up a bit. But it was fun to do. I'll have to post some of the stuff that I have not enjoyed doing so you can see the difference.
