Game drawing

In this game drawing piece I felt like it was accepatable. The hardest thing for me was probably trying to find the horizen line because without the horizon you can't really have a perspective of the drawing and using the colored pencils to show the value in this picture. It was easy to use the watercolor to show the highlights and shadows of the drawing but using the watercolor you have to be very light with it. It's basically putting light washes on the picture to show later on with the color pencils overlapping it the color better. Later on with the color pencils you will have to gradually blend the colors so it can be realistic.   

Anamorphosis drawings

To change the perspective of the drawing you have to photoshop it in the right angle. Afterwards you make it fit the scale of the paper so some of it won't be cut off. Then you take a piece of paper and you draw a grid on it with 1in squares. You also do the same in the other paper you printed out.
By streatching and distorting the object you can transform it to make it appear diffrent in a certain angle. So on a certain angle it can look like its realistic and thats what makes it Anamorphosis. It's very important to use the color pencils to show the value in the object and the shadows. By making the values and shadows that's what makes it more realsitic.   

Stencil

1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.

I outlined the dark spots to create the features, So then when I cut it out it will show that the picture is Mount Rushmore.

2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.

For the background I tried to find green color and brown to show that it was like nature. I mostly took magazine paper but when I couldn't find much green anymore I used the green construction paper. I beleived the the color green really helped the picture to feel more like a mountain.

3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.

I cut out the dark spaces and left the white spaces because the dark help the features alot.

4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.
When using the xacto knife you have to be very careful. You always have to cut away from yourself so there wouldn't be an accident. The hardest thing is trying to learn how to cut away from yourself using the xacto knife.

5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this. 
Spray painting was very easy and just don't use to much black so you can see the outlines of the faces and try not to spray so close because afterwards the paint could go drip down and cover the lines. Try to use use light colors for the background and then use black so it could pop out.
