My Stencil

My stencil made in Photoshop.

Value Scale Drawing

This is a car a drew using the value scale and shading. I think this drawing came out very well and the part I like most about it is how the windshield has a smooth transition from dark to light to make it look real as possible. I also liked how we used rolled up pieces of paper to smudge some of the darker areas into white areas to make the transitions. If I had to do this project again, I would use a bigger variety of darks and lights to make the car look more real, and have an established light source. The hardest part of this was the wheels, because in the picture I drew this off of, the wheels were very hard to see, so there really was no reference point so I had to guess where the wheels were exactly and what position they were in.

Junkpile Shadow Art

In class, there were two trash bags filled with all sorts of junk, and we were assigned to arrange some of that junk to create a shadow image. My group made a castle with a cardboard box, cups, golf balls, tubes, and a little broken figurine. This turned out somewhat successful in portraying a castle, but it was hard with the limited amount of recources we had to use. The hardest part of building this was coming up with an idea of what to make out of all of the junk, and the next hardest part was figuring out how we would arange the junk items in a way that it would look like a castle in the shadow. I learned from this piece that teamwork was essential with coming up with ideas and finding the right pieces to make this look as good as possible.

Shark Reduced Image Level

This is a shark that I reduced the image levels from using Photoshop.

UFO Drop Shadow Photoshop

This is a UFO with a shadow made using Photoshop.

City Rhino

This is a rhino in a city I made using Photoshop and a Photoshop tutorial by Mr. Sands. I cut all of the grass around the rhino in one picture out, and copy and pasted it into a city street picture.

Chick the Skeleton

This is Chick the skeleton. The drawing on the right is from the first day of Visual Arts class and the one on the left is my final drawing after we learned about each bone and about perspective. I think i improved a lot, showing each bone individually and in more detail. I also drew it from the side because I was looking at her side from where I was drawing her. Because of where I was sitting, the first drawing is worse because I had to guess where all of the bones where and could not be as precise. If I had to do this project again, I would try to draw the bones more to where they are on the skeleton. The hardest part of my drawing was the ribs because it was hard to fit each one in perfectly and have the right amount. With this drawing, I learned that I have drawing potential and that skeletons are hard to draw.
