It's been rather cloudy the past few days and I have been relying on the sun for lighting my photos, so today was the first day I could capture these pages properly.
On pages 6-7, I was sitting in the printmaking studio for most of it. The green pen is an air vent (with a stuffed toy monkey hanging from it) and the bottom right corner is part of a lithography press with a solvent bucket underneath. The rest, in pencil, is a still-life made of random stuff I found in my friend's room. :)
Close up of my little still-life. I was really happy with the orange juice carton and the fork.
Close up of the press and solvent can. Some of the lines aren't at the right angle, but I was really excited about how I used the colored pencils that I had on me. All I had were electric green, bright blue, red, green, purple, and gray. I put a little pencil in there too.

Most of pages 8-9 are from the figure drawing sessions I attend weekly, there's the pitcher again!, and the top right corner is what my next lithography print is going to be of. I found the sheet music in the Music Building on campus because I was bored. The stamped face on page 8 wasn't that successful, so I tried covering it up with some Japanese papers I got a long time ago. I'm not that happy with it, but I can't really do anything about it now. :P
I was really excited about this figure! I played off the way I created the printing press on the previous page - had the same colors too. I also loved how the figure fit across the page like it did. :3 The only thing I'm not that satisfied with is the hanging arm - it doesn't feel attached or like it's hanging.
My next lithography print is going to be drawn in the touche wash method, which is like ink wash except with grease. (Would've given a link, but I couldn't find anything.) I'm going to probably work similar line-work from this sketch into the final because I liked it so much, but the majority will be different toned washes, especially the background.
(And I must point out if it hasn't been noticed already for everyone to take advantage of the zoom on these photos! It's really cool.)
