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...)
