Stencil Project

Ive had a little bit of prior experience regarding stencil projects but never to this degree, I did not chose a very good original color scheme and it made tracing my stencil's a lot harder than it should have been. I was confused at first on how i needed to draw and cut the stencils but when I was finished spray painting both stencils I believe i did it right. I feel that this was succesful despite the hard time sketching the stencils it came out fairly well. There are slight imperfections after I layered the stencil with the white spray paint. But I was very satisfied with my final product for the stencil.

Contour Shoe

By using the countour drawing skill i was able to produce more connected and easily drawn lines. This technique gave a good feel twords a life size image and gave the basic look of the shoe. Although this style gives certain advantages it also provides for disadvantages with adding fine detail and shading. Because you can not lift the pen you can not get good detail in the areas that look minor on the shoe but give it a more realistic effect in the art. This style was fun to do and to learn. I personally believe it was easier to draw my hand with this technique where with a shoe it was harder and a lot more advanced than the other contours we did.

iPad



I noticed next to none similarities between drawing these figures on the ipad and on actual paper. It might just be that I am technology challenged between this painting and this blog post stuff but i had an extremely difficult time and I couldnt finish. I had a hard time blending the colors well toghether, there are obvious diffrences in colors that I could not smooth out like some of my classmates around me. Drawing on paper was easier and more enjoyable to me personally, where this gave me trouble and i was constantly re-doing shapes when I would make mistakes or accidentally touch the wrong spot. I did notice with some other people that the technology was very useful in the fact that they were able to zoom up and fine work the details in the picture, I tried to follow in there path but it didnt work the same for me.

Cartoon Skeleton

I was impressed about how well i did on this drawing, although it is no work of Leonardo da Vinci I believe it turned out halfway decent. This was a fun project to complete because you really were able to "bend bones" in whatever shape suited the character you were drawing. You had to modify the amount of bones and the size for almost every bone and this allowed for it to be more unique and fitting twords the cartoon character. It really helped me visualize the importance of the emphasis placed on the cartoon when you have to draw a small or large bone for every part of the body. For example the neck was elongated in my character while the mid-section and rib cage were very small and stocky.
