Brainstorming Ideas
In Progress PhotosFinal DrawingDiscuss your decision on pen and ink techniques. Why you chose to use one or more. (If you used stippling in certain areas explain why you chose this technique. Explain for all other techniques used).
I used hatching for most of my drawing because I have a lot of stones. The stones needed to have a rough looking texture so I used hatching to help give them that look. I used stippling on the dragon because I thought the stippling looked like scales and it created contrast from the castle. How did you use perspective? Why is perspective important? I used three point perspective in worms eye view. Perspective is important because it gives emphasis to a certain object and gives the piece power. In my piece the idea of power was in place with the perspective that I chose. How is texture important in your composition? Texture is important in my composition because it makes all of the objects look more realistic.. Without the texture the peace would also be boring and it would look unfinished. Why is value so important in this project? Value is important again to make the objects look more realistic and make them pop off of the page. Without value there would not be enough contrast to separate different objects from each other. Describe your craftsmanship (How well the project is crafted technically) I think that I could have been a little neater with my hatching nut, I really think that I nailed the values in my piece. I did do the drawing first in pencil and I feel like I should have done more details in pencil before going in with the pen so that I could more easily fix mistakes. If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance your final outcome? If I could recreate my piece I would try to do as much as possible in pencil before adding the pen to limit mistakes. I also feel like I need to improve on the dragon by making it more realistic. (Only answer if you did fairytale) Which Fairytale or Fable did you create? How did you represent the story in your own way? My piece is based off of Sleeping Beauty. The drawing is of Sleeping Beauty's castle and Maleficent has turned herself into a dragon to make sure no one wakes her. The sky in the background represents all of the nights and days that sleeping beauty spent in her sleep.. The thorns around the castle are the thorns that Maleficent put up again to make sure no one woke the princess. Lastly the crow in the sky is Maleficent's assistant flying to warn her about the prince coming to wake Sleeping Beauty. When applying the pen and ink techniques why and how is it important to make sure you understand the concepts taught in class? It is important in order for you to efficiently use the techniques and use them in the correct spaces in your drawing. It will only help you improve on your art and make you more knowledgeable about pen techniques. As a growing artist how do you think what you have learned will guide and better your future projects. I think that what I have learned will help me broadened my artistic ability and give me more options for mediums to use in the future. This has also helped me to become more confident in my pen and ink drawing ability as well as my perspective ability. Perspective is something that people use in their everyday lives and it is used in many jobs so this new skill will be very beneficial.

Pen Value ChartThis chart showed how to change values using different pen techniques and helped us practice using the techniques. Pen Stippling WorksheetWe had to copy the image on the left and use stippling. This helped me expand on what I can do with pen. 3 Texture Video DrawingsWe had to watch 3 videos on pen and ink textures and copy them in our sketchbook. Practice Pen ObjectWe had to draw a random object in pencil and then use any pen technique to give it value.
For this assignment we had to take 5 forced perspective photos.
For this assignment we had to watch 2 step by step videos on 3 point perspective. The first one is from a worm's eye view and the second is from a birds eye view.
For this assignment we had to watch a video that went step by step on how to draw a 2 point perspective city scene.For this assignment we had to watch a step by step video on how to draw a basic 2 point perspective scene.For this video we had to start by drawing three boxes(second image) and then use the one point perspective to show the different views of the boxes. The second part of the video had us draw a street scene using one perspective as well. For this video we had to draw a one perspective view of a house/room. I started with a center point and drew an X from there which gave the base for the entire image.
For this assignment we found an object in our house and sketched it with pencil. After the sketch was done we had to use a pen method in which I used random line and cross hatching to create value in the piece.
