Craft During the next week of class we made another step forward and added colors to our drawings along with using both horizontal and vertical lines in the same drawing to give it that more realistic feeling. I made these drawings using Adobe Illustrator and a Bamboo tablet and pen. I made these drawings with straight or slightly curved horizontal and vertical lines of different thickness. If it was a color drawing then I picked a color along with different shades of that same color, so about four or five different shades to use, otherwise if it was a texture drawing I had to pick a shape (single letter or number) and use only that shape to create a background originally and then a depiction of an object with the use of different shades of the same color just like the color drawings, but I picked different colors for the background and the actual object to make it stand out more. The first step to creating a color or texture image is to find an object you want to draw then either use natural light or give your own light source to the object to give it a unique shadow feature. I then began my color drawings by picking a color that was in the medium range and typically drew the overall whole shape of my object. After that I moved to the lighter end of the color spectra and used that color to start shading in or drawing the lighter areas of the object, then the same thing is done with a darker version of that same color and used on the dark areas of the object. Then after that I used some of the different shades of the same color I used previously on the other areas of the object that aren't at either end of the dark/light scale and have a sort of blending feature. Finally i went back with all the colors that i used and try to fill in as much white/empty spots with them, but of course with the appropriate colors. Now when it comes to creating a texture drawing I used the same guidelines as the color drawing in regards to picking colors for the actual drawing and for the background. But for the texture drawings I picked a certain emblem for each individual picture to use as a sort of brush head. I used the emblem originally with the range of colors over and over again to create a background to draw my actual texture drawing on. Then I began my drawing using the same emblem, that i chose, to draw the overall shape of the object then I used the same principles as the color drawings to show the light and dark parts of the object I am trying to portray. Then while drawing the object I would focus on a certain part of the drawing and get closer, use smaller versions of the emblem I picked to draw with and make that certain part more exact and look better then move on to the rest of the object til I was completely done.
Composition I arranged the elements for these drawings (in this case the horizontal and vertical curved lines) the way that I did to give the viewer the perspective of the object having a unique light source and giving it a different perspective then its normal view. The first thing I want the viewer to see is the juxtaposition of the lighter parts of the objects to understand which direction the light source was coming from and the darker spots on the image to show how exactly that object was facing when the light source hit it. Secondly I want the viewer to see how I used different hues and values to portray the light and dark part of the object even more accurately and show a sort of mix or blend of the colors to give it a nice flow from one part of the object to the next. Thirdly I want the viewer to see the different amounts of saturation I used in the images to give it a more dramatic look. For these pictures I used horizontal and vertical lines because I feel they are easier to use when it comes to having to draw an image with a shadow affect on it.
Concept Each object I drew was some sort of bottle or vessel because I think drawing those type of objects are easier to differentiate between the light and dark parts of the object especially with the curvature of the object. These are my three color drawings followed by my three texture drawings. |
