Game drawing

Game Drawing 

     My final piece turned out very good I think. I put alot of effort and detail in my final drawing and it ended up turning out all right. My piece was very successful because I like how it turned out and it looks exactly like the real photograph it was drawn from. I had straight lines and was able to draw it correctly in two- point perspective.

     The water color was one thing that didnt turn out exactly how I wanted it to. I painted the game board a little too dark with watercolor, It began to look better as i drew over it with colored pencil. The most difficult part in this drawing was lining up the little details on the game board in two point perspective. It took a while, but i eventually got the hang of it.

     If i were to do this project over again, I would be lighter with the water color. that is pretty much the only thing i would change about my project.

     I would say this is probably one the most important pieces ive drawn. it taught me a lot about one point, two point perspective and straightness and lines. Now that i know how to draw in perspective, i can add more detail and make any drawing more interesting. I also learned that the little details do mean alot in a simple drawing.

Anamorphosis drawing

Anamorphosis

     The anamorphosis drawing was lots of fun and something quick. I decided to draw a cowboy boot. In the computer lab we saved our pictures we choose and went into photoshop. from there, we edited our pictures so they expanded upward. We printed out these edited pictures. In our sketchbooks, we drew gridlines to match the ones we drew on our printed pictures. then we had to draw it exactly like our printed picture. we even had to add in a shadow.Our final pictures were done in colored pencils and detail. when we were finished, she took a picture of it at an angle that made it look real, and like it was standing up.

     distoring the object gave us an oppurtunity to learn how to draw a different way. This way was a lot of fun and we got a more 3D look than if we just drew it regular without the distortion.

     The most important thing of the project was to make sure the drawing was scaled like the picture. making sure it was drawn to scale was a key thing in this project.

Stencils

 Stencil

     The stencil project was one of the hardest for me. My stencil is a spary paint of the Titanic. We first took pictures off the internet of what we wanted, then we edited them in photoshop to use the black and white space. We then printed them out, and took pictures of the print. Using the projectors, we projected the picture onto a board while we traced the print on a large piece of paper. After that, we used xacto knifes and cut out the stencil from the poster paper. Meanwhile, we took paper and pieces from magazines and glued them onto our final paper. We spray painted the background to go with the colors of our sprayed on stencils. after cutting out the final stencil, we spray painted it onto the background and let it dry. This picture above was my final result.

     I choose blue for my background (with orange around the edges) because the blue relates to the water and titanic.My original stencil was sprayed on black, but then I sprayed orange over it and around the edges of the background to give it color.

     The paper, pictures and magazine pieces added texture and were relevant to the subject you were doing.

     The exacto knife was difficult to use at times, because you had to cut with a board under your stencil to protect the tables and other surfaces. also, several people were not carefull and ended up cutting themselves. it is very important to be careful and follow the right saftey procedures when using the knife. It is very important to cut away from you and use short strokes when cutting.

     my experience with the spray paint went all right. my background turned out alright, but the actual ship spray paint did not turn out exactly how i wanted it to. The orange spray paint went on before the black was completly dry, and resulted in a brownish orange final color. Also, the second time i sprayed on the stencil, i didnt line it up completly. which resulted in the stencil being off centered .

     overall, this was a hard project, but i feel now i know how to do it i could do better a second time.
