"You would have us all pawns in your world"

"Yes, Hermione, I think this is gonna be *exactly* like wizard's chess"

Okay, so it isn't but whatever...

Yay, Leaning Pawns!!! Not really. Anyway, this lovely chess board was made to practice perspective. I pretty much was alright with that to begin with, but the last time I used watercolors, I was like in second grade... It's fun, but I suck. The colors are all so bloody flat, and my shading is horrid. Charles Xavier would be ashamed





Anywho, I guess I should really put some vocab in here now....

Uh, I'm too tired for this... Anyway, I'm not to unhappy with my ugly chessboard as I sound. Like I said, the perspective is alright, with all the lines going to the right vanishing points and all. Just my colored pencil shadows leave something to be desired.

Okay, I'm done now...

Bye!

3D anamorpha- what?

I'm pretty sure you won't care about this but.......

Okay, so that up there is suposed to be an old lighter. It looked horribly loppy-gared.... you know, 'loppy-garred' is a funny word... Anyway, back on topic...

This is what the drawing looks like full on. We used photoshop to transform the scale. That's why the perspective is all wack. We also used a grid, which I have a love/hate relationship with. It's complicated... we don't like to talk about it... The shadows are better... we get along a whole lot better. Though, they still don't make the bloody thing look 3D.

......... I have nothing left to say.......

Bye

Baby~

Finished! Now go get me some pie; I love me some pie!

(I'm tired this moring, please excuse me)

Okay, so let me start out in saying that I loved this project. First of all, I love spraypaint. I really don't know why, it's just a fun medium... smells horrid, though. Second, I love making collages, so I throughly enjoyed the background. Third... Supernatural is an amazing show. The boys and Cas are all freaking adorable. So, you know, when you add all those things together it makes a really fun project. :)

Making the stencle was actully a bit difficult, even though the '67 Chevy Impalla was decently easy. Changing the colors in photoshop was simple. The hard part was not leaving any negitive-space islands floating around not attached to anything. The Xacto knife didn't help much, because I aparently can't control it. (I nearly cut the headlights out on accident) Somehow nothing fell out, though I had to be extrealy careful with the windsheald. I also had issues with getting the contast between the positive space (car) and the background right. I was trying to go with a rusty brown background, but then I found some amazing colored pictures of the beautiful SPN boys and my plan was a little ruined. Also, the wood frame splintered like three times when I was building it, and we are now enemies.

But like I said, it was extreamly fun, and I would love to do it again.

Random Bobby at the bottom!!!

(Go team free will!)

So here's the finished print... I think it turned out pretty well, though I was wanting to do a little more texture that what ended up being there. It's a barred owl, in case you didn't know from the last post. I always like printmaking; carving out space to make a picture is somehow fun. I like simple stuff. :) Anyway, the eye in the bottom one is a little messed up because I didn't really carve the little light reflection thingy deep enough.

So, heres a sketch of my first project. It's a print-making project, which I've done in the past. It's always fun, though, and so far this one is turning out to be the same. This is a Barred Owl.... and right now he's on trancfer paper (Thats why it looks a bit funny). For this project, we had to draw several animals at first, so we could pick the best one. Other than the owl, I did a King Cheeta and a Silver Fox. This one was the obviously best for the print. Stay tooned for the final piece!

Finished product!!!  I'm very happy with it. Though, I have to say that me and the brick wall had our fill or rows (fights). I cut up my knuckles so many times... is it bad to get chalk in your blood stream? Or in your ear? (Yeah, it actually was in my ear) I got chalk everywhere... :) 

But like I said, I'm really proud of it! Both my own work and that of my team-mates! It was fun working with all of them, and they all did an amazing job. It was a fun project in general, making interactive are in the courtyard. It would be fun to do it again.... if the brick wall behaved itself. :)

Alright, so for this project we had to do interactive art. This is my sketch for the idea that my team came up with. Yes, the heroic knight is standing against the dragon for treasure. But somewhere in development, the shield become a rock, and the brave knight a poor, horrified man. Haha! 

Here, my team-mate, Ashlin, and I are putting in the outlines and base colors. I was in charge of the dragon and the gold, while she did the rock and the fire. Austain, the other boy on our team, who is not in the picture, did the background. (I'm sorry for spelling your name so horribly...)

I love this dude's eye! The coloring around it I mean. 

I'm concentrating...

To make this horrible thing. I'm not happy with it, really. But, anyway...

To make this picture, we had to just look at the shapes formed by the different light levels, and then blend them to create soft eges. I think my range of shading is desently good, though my pencil would only go so dark. Though, that light line on the darker side of here face isn't really there; that was light reflecting off of the lead.

(P.S. I'm sorry to whoever this is, I murdered your face...) 

I know that it's sideways, I just don't know how to fix it...

Anyway, this piece was inspired by the works of an artist named Color-me Katie. I wasn't sure of the assignment at first, but it turned out to be lots of fun! Special thanks to my sister for modeling for me!

(My camera is cr*p...)

This is a hand, as well as a snake. I'll admit, I loved this project. It was a bit hard thinking of how to draw the hand though. I actually was just messing around with my hand, and then realized that it looked like a Green Python when in this position and... tada! I must say that I'm proud of it. :)

 

Painting with moss. Yes, moss. It was really hard painting on that wall, because it was hard to see close up. So, my disign didn't turn out quite like I wanted it. I was trying to do a wolf head silhouetted by the moon but... Like I said, I was trying, haha.

 

I look way to focused... Anyway, I'm drawing a pinecone. It was actully sort of fun, expecialy the beaver skull that I drew just about ten minutes before. The turtles however were a bit more difficult, just because they wouldn't old still.

 

 

So, this is umbreon.... and this is his skeleton. It was actully really fun, since I find bones really interesting to draw. Plus, we got to use our imagination to create something plausible, which I always love doing. I actully don't have to much self-criticism on this piece; I only have some little problems with the ribcage. But, I'm happy with it nevertheless.
