Stencil Project

This project was harder then i thought it would be. When spray painting the stenicls it was difficult to keep them lined up just right and you had to spray them to a coupple times cause some stencil would cover some of another. The process began with picking out a expresive photo and putting it through photoshop, so it had three differemt colors. Then i projected it up on a white board so i could trace the three different colors on to three different poster boards. After that was finished i cut out what was traced so it became a stencil. Then i cut a piece of card board and painted the background a crayish color so it would match the colors i was gonna spray paint with. After that i took the stencils one by one and lined them up and spray painting them depending on what needed to go where. I think this project turned out pretty succesful, the hardest part was getting the stencils to fit just right kind of like a puzzle.

Value Drawing

This value drawing really helped me catch the value of the drawing and how to shade it so it gets the full effect. Really showed me how to pay attention to where the shadows are. The drawing on the ipad showed me what different colors to use when drawing shadows and values so it gets darker to lighter. I learned how to draw a shadow from a object depending on which way the light is coming from. Overall to me i learned how to get all the detail in the picture.

Contour Drawing

This drawing showed me how to draw with eye and follow my eye, so i can draw a full size image. It was dificult though at times not to lift up the pen. This helped me learen how to draw and connect everything as one. It improved me on getting the size right and making sure it is life size, but when it comes to detail i dont know how much it improved my detail.
