Color


Craft: This was an illustration created in Adobe Illustrator CC using a bamboo pen and tablet.  This is an assignment where we incorporated color. It was exactly like the value drawings.  The only difference is that I replaced white with a light shade of orange and I replaced black with a dark brick shade of orange. As usual I warmed up by righting my name repeatedly to get used to the tablet. After that I used a large brush to color in the background, slowly moving from bright to dark. After this I used the elliptical tool for the circular frames on the candle the line tool to connect them. After that I use different shades to color in the drawing. Focusing on the different shades instead of the actual structure of the candle. 
Concept: For this picture I used a candle, as usual we were supposed to pick object that could contain water. a Candle has the ability to hold candle wax whether it is in the form of a liquid or a solid. 
Composition: For this picture I would want to focus on the broader details such as the gradient background and then focus on the the shape of the candle and notice the shift in colors. After that I would focus at the top of the candle and finally at the wick, the wick is the part that makes it most obvious.

Value Drawings

Pot
Craft:  This picture was made using Adobe Illustrator CC as well as a bamboo tablet. For this illustration I used a pot and a desk lamp. First I set everything up, meaning the pot's position and the way the light hit it. After that I opened Illustrator to warm up. Warm ups consist of me using different strokes in different colors to write my signature. After the warm ups I created the gradient background. To draw the pot I focused on the brightest section of the pot and moved to the darker shades.
Composition: What I see first in this image s the basic body of the pot because this is the area that has a more carious amount of shading. This is also the part that I look at the longest. From there I move to the inside of the pot, and finally the handle.
Concept: This is a pot, I chose it because it was an object that could contain water, and I liked the way the light bounced off if it, Because it didn't create an excessive amount of reflection.

100 line drawings

Hooka

Guitar

Hand

Icecream

Glass bottle.
Craft: Each of these illustrations were created by Adobe Illustrator CC. I used a Bamboo drawing tablet and pen. I started off with a warm up, this warm up is to get used to the different drawing style you have to get aquatinted with in order to draw via computer. This consists of me writing my name in different brushes, styles, and sizes. After this I looked for five different objects that can hold liquid. The objects that I chose were: A Hookah, a guitar, A hand, Ice cream cone, and a regular bottle. Several of these illustrations focused on a shadow that would be made by the object. For others, suck as the ice cream cone and the guitar, there was a little bit more detail put into the drawing. This was so that one would be able to tell more easily what the objects were.

Concept: The point of these illustrations is to draw something that can hold a liquid. Almost everyone would be drawing pots and cups. I thought that it would be nice to think outside of the box and pick Somethings else other than cups and pans. The first illustration is a bottle with is something that you would expect. I drew this to warm up, its one of the first things that you see when you thing of something that can hold a liquid. The next object is an Ice cream cone. Some people would consider custard ice cream to be some sort of thick liquid, therefore the cone serves the purpose and would fit the guidelines. For the next object I chose a hand, hands were used to scoop water up before the time of pots and pans. A guitar is something that you normally would not put liquids into but this does not excuse the fact that it is capable of it, depending on the type of guitar and the brand. I chose the Hookah because of its many curves and lines. This object has the ability to hold a liquid because there is a special compartment made for the water.

Composition: If you were to look at this entire post as a whole, the main attraction would be the Hookah because of how curved it is. Then the guitar because of where it lands outside of the box. After that the hand, then the ice cream cone and finally the bottle which is what you would expect. These are listed in the order I deem most interesting.
