Sketch Update (11/18/2010)
Another one of my infamous doodles that begin as nothing. I'm pretty certain I pulled this one together in class at one point to kill some time. The eyes began as musical notes, actually. Then one thing lead to another and BAM! You've got a fedora wearin cigar smokin robot pimp. I can think of any design principles this would follow, maybe staccato rhythm for the jagged linear sketching style I have? I feel its visually interesting though in its complications.
Sketch Update (11/11/10)
Since we're still talking about color I felt I could pull another picture out of my prisma book. This was just a class doodle that started as one thing, became another, and then took a left and ended up becoming a birdhouse with a rainbow coming out of it. Enough said. I feel those colors balance very well where as the blue and yellow are bright, but there is more of the purple.
Anatomy Sketch (11/4/2010)
Another one of my more timely sketches. I took a years worth of high school fine art focused specifically on anatomical artwork. My art teacher told me the human body is one of the hardest things to draw, and if you can draw it, everything becomes easier. In terms of design I feel this displays good weight between the whole composition. The wings associate even weight to the body, and the shading around helped add vignette making it easier to focus on the character. I don't draw like this as much anymore.
Color Sketch (10/28/10)
Once again since we're learning about color I posted another one of my colored sketches. This is actually fairly old, I really don't draw like this anymore. In terms of color harmony, the monochromatic balance of using just blue hues also draws good emphasis to the figure.
Graffiti
Since the homework talked about color I figured "Why not?". This was taken out of a sketchbook that's dominantly prismacolor art. Pretty basic graffiti doodle, I can't even remember what it says or stood for at one point.
Color and design-wise I feel this displays balance between a single even toned color with white to compliment. Not much contrast on the eyes, but it definitely stands out.
Sketchbook Update (10/14/10)
I've had bomb's on the mind lately. "Oh man I hope I don't bomb this quiz.." "Man I totally bombed that review..." "Dude when we skate we should go bomb that parking garage." Bomb bomb bomb.
I feel this sketch really shows good design through rhythm. the curving lines and sharp changes in shapes create a sense of motion and excitement.
