In this project we had to create a hand animal. I started off by positioning my hand a certain way so that it could resemble an alligator. Once I had drawn my hand, I started drawing in scales to match those that an alligator would have. I colored the alligator with different shades of green and yellow in an attempt to create value and make the alligator a little bit more lively. Overall, I don't think I did too bad with this "handimal."
This was my very first attempt at a modified drawing. I really didn't like drawing these hands because it was so hard and challenging to try and get all the creases and lines onto my paper and try to draw it fit to scale. I think the hand could have turned out better but I don't think I did too bad for my first time.
This was my second modified drawing. I think I did better on this one than I did at my first attempt. Of course there is still room for improvement but I am somewhat pleased with how this one turned out. I hope that the next time I try to draw a modified contour drawing, I will get progressively better.
Our very first task that we had to complete this semester was drawing a hand, blindly. He object of this project was to try and coordinate your eyes with the movement of your pencil, keeping your eyes on your hand. It was very difficult for me to stay focused on all the lines in my hand and trying to recreate it onto a piece of paper without lifting up my pen and without looking at the paper.
In this project, I learned how to use oil pastels to create 3D shapes. I enjoyed working with oil pastels because I liked the texture that it gave to the piece of art. I created value by blending and overlapping the oil pastels together. Overlapping is important because it can create different shades of colors and eliminate a distinct line between two colors. The direction I made my light source coming from was around the left side of the shapes. Value is important because it shows the whether the subject has volume or is flat, what kind of texture the surface has, and where the light source is located and how bright it is.
