Game Unit: The Vegetable InvasionPhenakistoscopeColor Theory ProjectPhotography unit |
Candy County is being taken over by vicious candy killing vegetables. The vegetable army is run by the evil Olivia Onion.Olivia has taken Sally Sundae's dog,Spoon dog.In level 1 you must help Sally get her dog back.Then Olivia has kidnapped Cookie Mom's son,Cody! You must again be the hero of Candy County and save the people.I loved drawing the characters and designing them,because incorporating different types of candy into each little character was really fun.I would has fixed a few glitches if I had more time.I love the game unit in general,but it took a really long time and got boring after a while.
The Phenakistoscope was an early animation device that used the Persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion.In animation, a walk cycle is a series of frames or illustrations drawn in sequence that loop to create an animation of a walking character.Flip book is the most interesting early animation toy to me,because it takes so much work and its easy to see the work and time it takes.The dedication is really high for that kind of work.It was kind of easy to make the Phenakistscope.The only challenges were having to draw each frame and the feet,because I couldn't draw the lines to show the angle very well,because it was all colored black.
I used monochromatic green.I feel like it represents my dislike for the math problem I used as the background.It is almost a sickening green.I really like the shadows in my neck, and the highlights in my hair.I think color is the strongest in this project,because it is mostly all about the colors of it.

I love these pictures,because they are both very creative.In the first photo,it was a choice picture and I didn't even use a filter.It was just the reflection of the camera in the apple logo on the computer monitor.The second picture I used a black and white effect and I was supposed to look very serious and angry,but my friend ran past making a silly face and I just lost it.The smile kind of makes me look evil.Both pictures I think have very high levels of creativity and uniqueness.
TessalationFont bot photoshop project |
I think that pattern is the strongest element I believe,because that is the main thing that draws in your eyes.Making tessellation on the computer is a lot easier on the computer,because you can just copy and paste instead of having to draw it over and over again.I really liked making the patterns that make your eyes cross. M.C. Escher is probably the most famous artist for tessellations.His artwork is absolutely amazing.Here is a link to his website, check out his artwork for yourself!

Square 1 Art Project |
I really liked the outcome of this project but the work to get it perfect was challenging.I think that the font I picked was great for the turkey idea because it was already kinda bold and and curvy so it was great to work with for the feathers.The font was sans serif and I'm glad it is because working with the extra lines and tails would have been difficult.The turkey is very evil and would be deadly to any human that came in contact, that is why it has red eyes and giant red furrowed eyebrows.I loved the idea to layer the feathers more to show the different sizes.I didn't do very detailed feet because the body and everything else was popping and detailed and I wanted simple feet so it wouldn't be too overpowering. |
This is the picture I used for my Square 1 art project. It is Link from the video game series Zelda. I loved using the Wacom tablets for this because originally it was hand draw,but then it was scanned onto the computer. So I had to redraw it,but it felt just like I was drawing it again on the piece of paper. I think the strongest element I used was lines,because I wanted it to look sketchy, or hand drawn.I used the element of value also, for the shading and light from the rock and from the little bug. The colors were very strong and I think the grass was something that was quite difficult but in the end I love how it turned out. I think the entire artwork turned out better than I expected.

Favorite artist
I love the digital artist,Wiishu. She draws fanart of my favorite Youtubers. Her drawing style isn't like any other I have seen. I love how she draws their bodies kinda long and stretched out. Her backgrounds are always so simple but add just the little perfect touch. Like it just might be some hearts,like in that picture shown here, or it might be just some zigzags. I just love how she isn't like every other person who draws fanart and tries to be realistic,no,Wiishu makes cartooning versions.
