6 Cubes (aka "6x6 Faces")
A one week assignment I developed for the Rhode Island School of Design's Pen and Ink course, in which students must represent 6 cubes in a variety of materials—wood, rock, glass, metal, food and a sixth, miscellaneous material of their choice.
Sample drawings created to illustrate the assignment. The 6 materials represented here are:
- rock (a cuboid moon, with nods to Georges Méliès's A Trip to the Moon, Tintin, and Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon)
- metal (a retired Super Mario)
- glass (an octopus smitten with the Swedish warship Vasa, in a bottle)
- miscellaneous (Blade Runner's Los Angeles in 2019)
- wood (a treestump attacked by squirrels)
- food (gummy bears)
