NYU PRINT3D Club

3D Pumpkin, Snowman, and Winter Designs

I created a 3D pumpkin in my NYU Print3D Jack-o-Lantern Workshop for Halloween using Autodesk Fusion 360.

 

I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to create a form, edit the t-spines, changed the structure's size, fill in the gaps, hollow it, and then sketched a face. I saved it as an obj file' allowing it to 3D print. I then used sketch book to color the structure; I chose Yam as the best option for this design. This was done by downloading the file as a png; to preview and color the pumpkin in Sketchbook.

I used tinkercad for my snowman design, which was later used in my Creative Coding winter final project. I used p5.js to create a 2D and 3D environment; allowing snow to fall in the background with paper flakes falling in real life--paired with Christmas music.

NYU Future Fashion Group - Office of Sustainability

2d Sketch Book

​I created these 2D digital art pieces for a fashion show.​

 

As a member of the NYU Future Fashion Group, I recommended to the e-board that they should work with the NYU Office of Sustainability on a Upcycle Fashion Show. At New Design High School, we would host a fashion show that showcased our recycled and innovative pieces annually.​

 

I drew these three pieces as a collection, using small elements to piece each section together; from roses to peacocks representing nature. Followed by dark elements of recycled fabric for the final urbanized look. This collection highlights nature with our urban city; showing how we can utilize more nature in our environment.

 

All of my digital illustrations were drawn by hand or stylist on my cell phone.

SPS Humanities Festival & Program Board - Strawberry Festival 2022

2d Sketch Book

These 2D pieces were designed for the Humanities and Strawberry Festivals of 2022. They were selected from hundreds of submissions. I had creative freedom and wanted to design something unique; I decided abstract and silhouettes were a good theme for both festivals. The NYU SPS Humanities Festival and NYU Program Board: Strawberry Festival took place in Spring.

I also I taught students about rendering, color composition, line weight, and other drawing concepts within NYU SAAS; during my time as a social media manager and secretary.

Digital Illustrations, Sketches, and Art Designs

2d Sketch Book

All pieces are created on my phone using a stylist or my hands. Some of the art has been inspired by books, movies, or musical artists. The top image on the left was a combination of two characters from the band Gorillaz. The other images came for my imagination to test new techniques like rendering.

On the second slide are continuations of experimenting techniques. The top image of the strawberry lizard monster was for line weight; the life cycle underneath it, was a request by an online stranger, who saw my art and liked how it looked; was interested in seeing more of what the idea could be. The green ghosts were for an art challenge. While the bottom left image is a self-image/ drawing.

The third slide has a silhouette of a father and daughter, along with someone falling from the stars, and a cat in the fourth slide are from different festivals/ contests I took part in. Other drawings show my range in art techniques, creativity, and artistic endeavors. The face on the last slide represents a fisheye keyhole/ looking through a peephole at a clown.
