Cross Contour -
"Morning Coffee"
My Inspiration for this piece was simply the need to complete it. Since I've never tried making things 3D, I was excited to draw whatever it took to see how good I was at cross contour pieces.
The process was kind of hard. At first I had to think of something to draw then I actually had to draw it. Of course the drawing was easy since I'm used to it but the part making it 3D got complicating, but I succeeded. I made it look like it was an actual figure and that it wasn't floating in the air.
Oil Pastel -"Kiwis"
Grid Drawing Portrait-
"Blank-Model"
My inspiration was that I have never tried a kiwi before and I tried to challenge myself by trying to blend different colors to create that weird brown color of a peeling.
The process of this piece was... Starting off with four easy sketches so I could get the hang of what I was doing. I chose the zoomed in set of three Kiwi's plus a full one. Took me a while to blend and find the perfect colors but I eventually made it into something.
My inspiration for this piece was simply just the fun of it. It was exciting to get to do something I could never complete before. The cross hatching method and grid lines helped a lot through this whole project.
The process was sorta easy to comply. Of course, I had to look for a perfect image to complete the project on. Then I had to draw the grid lines on a sheet of paper then start mapping out things. It took me a while, considering the fact that I can barely draw eyes and a nose. So, to make that easy I did the four square method to break down the process. Cross hatching helped me with shading as well as mapping out things with my pencil.
Watercolor Landscape-
"Snowy Mountains"
My inspiration...was to be able to complete a watercolor piece for the first time. It's made me realize how interesting it is. I'd like to do this again.
The process...first I had to think about what I'd draw that wouldn't be much off a bother. I completed four sketches then a bigger image of what I decided on. Afterwards, I used the light table to trace out what I drew on the watercolor paper. Then, of course I used the masking fluid in order to fill in the white space for the snow in my mountains. I started off with the wash (which is a light painting, more water than paint for this, and used with a flat brush). After that, I'd make the piece a bit darker, to get more details, I used the round brush to get into small spaces.
Master's Style-
"Panda"
My inspiration was my mom.... at first I was going to draw a butterfly... then a kitten but my mom whined at me to do a panda... well, she forced me so that's my inspiration-- I actually couldn't draw neither cat or butterfly so why not the panda?
The process of this piece was to choose a style pick the way I'd paint it and complete the piece. I started of with mapping the panda onto the canvas, then I painted the background around the panda the of course painted the panda after it dried. After that, I had to continue adding layers to get the piece where I wanted it.
Tiki Sculpture-
"Kane"
My inspiration for this sculpture was the thought of myself actually creating something 3D out of clay. My first experience with clay was a 2D figure necklace.
The process for this sculpture was to do the four sketches. I had to think about how I'd want the piece done and how would all details mix in order for everyone to identify which Tiki God I made. I used slip to keep the piece together. After I finished off the extra details, I smoothed out the clay so I'd be able to have a glass piece, not wooden.
Magnified Image-
"the APPLE WATCH"
My inspiration was to make my piece look realistic. Make people figure out what it is instead of asking. I wanted it to be easy to identify, basically.
The process was to brainstorm ideas, by making four sketches before starting the final. It turned out okay but I couldn't figure out which apple to draw. So, I decided to combine all of my sketches to make into one.
