With this third design I tried to make my contrast busy and plain. Throughout the process of making this I wanted it to be more light to dark, but then I realized that the actual artwork was just so busy at the bottom and changed my contrast theme.

For my project I only used the primary colors. I tried to really blend the colors well with my white, but at some points I used my finger. I got a lot of colors with the primaries, which was very predictable and may be a bit of a cop out, but I really love how they all turned out. In the sky I really tried to do warmer colors, and as you look down I tried to fade into more cool colors for a good contrast. I think that I could have easily shift my creature down or to the side a bit more, because he looks pretty centered and that would have made for a better composition, but I think its better that you see his whole body because that adds to the light contrast above the darks. Overall I think that my project turned out a lot better than I had initially thought, and I really liked making it.

This took me about a day and a half, and I’m very proud of how it came out.

I don’t love how this looks so I tried again.

I didn’t like how this one turned out too much either.

I was trying the impact that plastic has on the environment. It doesn’t go away, and it is very degrading to our planet. I thought I was going to end up crumpling up the bottle over time, but Heather advised me not to and I think that was a good choice. I wanted to convey the destruction that plastic causes. I wanted to make the whole thing look as realistic as I could and I think that it worked out. I used a lot of blue and white in this piece. I got a lot of suggestions to make the grass more realistic, so on my last work day I just worked on the grass. I really like the background, because I just really took my time on it and I didn’t really look at any reference so I was just having fun making my own little landscape. I think it wouldn’t looked nicer if all of the water bottles looked the same, but overtime I learned from the One before so they all look different and it is not what I intended.

This is where I realized that these looked better with charcoal and I think it was harder to draw with the pencils.

I really like how this turned out, and I’m glad that I got most of the proportions right.

I really like this peace because there is something interesting to look at in every part of it, but it doesn’t feel crowded/ cluttered. It has a really nice composition in that sense and I also like the color palette, how it is either dark and mysterious of its bright and whimsical.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this piece because it is very simple, but still has a lot of details. I like how the creature is a little wonky and not symmetrical- it just makes it a lot cuter.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this drawing because of the two parts to it. The butterflies are very muted And detailed compared to the brightness and colors in the center which are very intriguing and make me want to keep looking at the piece. I also really love the color pallet and the fact that they didn’t draw/ paint this on white paper so that everything really pops.

I will be working on this when I have spare time next semester, and I will probably just add red to the background

I think I really expanded with my material usage, since I tried a different one for every project (and practice sketch). I also think that because I kind of just did whatever I wanted for the first project and it looked good, I decided to do that with the rest of my projects, and I just really went for whatever I wanted to draw. When ever I would mess up or just reach a point where I didn’t know what to do, I just kept on going and adding stuff, and, for the most part, it ended up looking pretty good. I think as I continue to draw, I need to work on my backgrounds a bit more. I think that my projects where the background was a main part in the overall composition look pretty good, but my last background for the figure project, although it isn’t finished, is sloppy and if I’m being honest it is heavily rushed and I didn’t put much thought into it at all, but I need to work on that and have the big picture for a drawing in my head when I’m doing bigger things next time. I did learn that I really like using charcoal for figure drawings, so I will keep that in mind next semester.
