“Colah” Pastels

Day 1

I began this artpiece by finding an image I liked and traced it on tracing paper. I then pressed the traced image on my actual paper to get a good preview of where to start coloring. I began coloring the cap of my character. There is a lot of color in this drawing so it was going to take time if I wanted it to look good.

Day 2

Knowing that I didn’t start off in the best spot, because I am right handed I worked left to right.

Day 3

Spending much time to color and get good details in every aspect of this artpiece I realized that it was bringing a dissapointment. I could not fulfill this artwork with all that I knew. I asked my professor how to improve on it. I was understood that it was good that all I needed to do was fill the gaps between the artwork. So I did what I could to improve this color drawing and hoped for the best to come.

Judgement Day

This is the final outcome. I am satisfied with it, knowing I could do better is what lingers in my future drawings. All my drawings have the potential to please me, just depends on how I am looking at it. I did my best at this drawing. That is why I am O.K. with it. Overall it looks alright. It came out to what I expected, lots of colors that awe the viewer. I like that about this pastel. It can be seen as a failure knowing that I could have done better. Or, it can be seen as a hit and miss. Thats what I like about my drawings.

Fruit Stuff in Watercolor

Day 1

Anticipation, eagerness, anxiety, these emotions stirred as I began the process of an ineluctable process know as “watercolor”. I traced my drawing from my computer, scaled a 5″ x 7″ portrait, using three simple watercolor pencils, red, blue, and yellow. Intertwining several colors to reach a balance of the spectrum, to please the eye, such as making green and purple from these pencils. Creating color harmony, this watercolor was to be a piece of art that is to be recognized.

Day 2

Doomed, devastated, cursed, que sera sera, and other words from dictionary.com under doomed. This drawing amazed me when I was drawing it, colors coming out good, lines even, shapes in place. Then I added a “light-effect” seeing that it would come out even better. I waited the next day and saw this, the white light betrayed me, it mutilated my piece. My first true piece. I enjoyed the very sight of my artwork, the day earlier, but time soothes all wounds. I was betrayed by time itself, it drenched itself into my drawing excavating all my pride and taking it all away. I abhorred the drawing utensils, the paints, the paper, the art. Although, I created this abomination, I knew I could create the glorified.

 

Judgement Day

Today, I stand proud next to my drawing. Astonished by the relic of art, I knew all along this drawing was to become a “piece”. The vivid colors, the laud sight, this watercolor was not redone, not refurbished, but relived. Putting in time and effort to undo the agony, I bore art. I believe this drawing is one of the good ones I have going on. But knowing all of this, I do not like it. I am proud that I made art. But dishonored because I could have done better.

The Dark Tower

Day 1

Irritated and confused I understood the basics of 2nd point perspective, but could not put in on paper. I could not get measurements lengths, distances, or get a single cross shape. I was outraged of the outcome. So simple but no effect.

Day 2

The beast was subdued. I got help in getting the cross done. After the cross everything else came in harmony. I had my basic box shapes for the tower. The domes under the cross became alligned. I had a better chance of completing this drawing. There is a chance.

Day 3

Getting the tower away. I gave detail to the tower to give me a basic unit of structure. Cross, windows, and buildings were pin-point to their vanishing point. This drawing became an easy work of art. Patience and ingenuity were applied.

Day 4

Looking at this drawing I was amazed by how bedazzling it came to be. From insane fustration, to an elegant piece. My drawing was in good condition. Then. Being told I have to redo the entire bottom half I was then agitated. The bottom half of the tower was pointing to a vanishing point on the paper. This was illegal. All lines pointing outside the drawing stayed there. That was my mistake. Although captivated by this drawing more work was applied.

Day 5

Amending the wounds of the bottom half, I understand better what 2nd point perspective really means.

Day 6

All major details were being drawn. Two different trees. The buildings came out well for a two point perspective. Rendering still not in effect. But overall the drawing is finished. All I had to do from here on out was darken lines, increase shadows and textures.

Judgement Day

My drawing came out alright, I believe it could be better.

Title: Constructing Perpective

Dimensions: 11in x 16 in

Why I Chose It: Give me a great example of what 2 point perspectives are, having two vanishing points on two opposite sides. This drawing was by far the most informative I have seen.

What About the Reference Image Can I Intergrate: I can see clearly there are two vanishing points on opposite ends and also these lines meet on a verticle corner of the house.
