The word of the week was Opulent and originally this was my drawing But I really wasn’t liking it or how it turned out so I decided to go another direction
We started out with the colors •Blue •Red •Yellow •White •Black From that we were tasked to make 3 shades of 3 colors I did the orange shades and the darkest shade of Plum berry From this activity I have learned what colors can be created with only simple colors mixed. This activity has also taught me that you don't have to use the colors you are given.
Antlers/Cactus Some things I decided to change were the eye and the neck because I wasn't happy with my first try of it.
Our mentor's name is Lyra and she prefers to draw in a 3D and sketch style. Link to her blog: http://lyrascreativeartsquare.weebly.com/art-2-weekly-blogs.html I hope to become a better artist and get some great pieces from this class. I'm excited to develop my blog and create a portfolio.
Pencil is a medium I am very familiar with and I don't usually use anything else. I like using it but it does get boring and I don't know how to use the different pencils so my drawing doesn't contain much value. There was a lot of detail in the picture and I didn't capture that as much as I should have.
