some renders

Did some renders today of different materials in class. This (software) is not really meant to render stuff, but I did my best, and some people liked it. I did get some drawing done today, too, but I haven't been too concerned with posting it, which has given me a peace of mind because I can focus on just observing and focusing on things myself. I'm also planning on taking a structural course (yay Physics and Math) in the next semester; I need more 'reality', being half tech/half art. I need to know how things break, stress, strain and how materials are made up. I'm excited for this long weekend. I can (hopefully) get some other stuff done, too. I've also been reading a lot lately, which I think is particularly important in creating or being someone who creates because your mind is stimulated in a different way in seeing words and interpreting them versus seeing images with ideas already processed via another form of media (tv, etc).
