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.
