Assignment 2 Task 1 - Portfolio


This is what my main page looks like and i used the cubic theme for it, it shows the pages that i have made with their individual categories, each of the categories have a few of my artworks that fit in that category. 

Perspective
When you click on the perspective box it will take you the perspective page and immediately show you one of my artworks called 2 point perspective space station that i have chosen as a feature image.
 When you hover over the images the name of the artworks will pop up which i have set up as a default setting for all the other artworks. in this category i learnt about one point, two point and three point perspective and that if used properly can create shapes, letters etc. i also learnt how to draw 3D shapes using gridded cubes and prisms.

Anatomy
This page shows my portrait artworks along with other types in connection with anatomy. The featured image is one of my portrait works where i had to draw my partner in some angle. This task was the free handed task and for this i was allowed to choose to use any of the types of media that i had previously used with my other portrait works. The anatomy task is basically everything human.
 Here it shows some of my other portrait artwork where i had to do multiple tasks consisting of using a number of different techniques and media. One of the tasks instructed me to draw with my right hand and then i had to draw a close up of my drawing partners eye using 3 different colored marker pens of our choice that are light to dark. So start it i drew the eye with the lightest outline and then went in with the two other colors as shading and i used the darkest color for the eyebrows and the pupil.
From this section on the page will be showing figure style art and some other styles. Most of the artworks in this page were either primary or secondary observation. Most of the pieces in this page are from primary observation like the portrait style pieces near the top of the page, in the image above you can see 4 drawings of hands the task was called expressive hands exercise and for this task i was instructed to express 4 types of emotions using my chosen hand which in this case was my left hand because my right hand is my drawing hand. The 4 types of emotions that i had to express were ok, peace, stop and anger. 
Most of the pieces near the bottom are secondary observation exercises, four of them to be exact this includes the mythical creature exercise, the tracing exercise, gridded exercise and the manga head construction exercise where i was instructed to follow a tutorial of two ways on how to draw a manga head on YouTube. For the mythical creature exercise i was instructed to gather various images for each body part from the internet, for the head i had to search for an image of a peacock, the body was just the torso of a man, crab claws for hands, cheetah legs for the legs, eagle feet and some additional parts which were bat wings to complete the mythical creature.

Object
I only have a couple of pieces for the object page and the feature image was an exercise where i had to follow the instruction that was written on the sheet and the first instruction was that i had to use different line techniques on the little boxes on the left hand side, for the first 6 i just had to copy the completed version but for the last six i thought up of my own line techniques. The second part the sheet instructed me to use those line techniques and use it to create 3D looking shapes using only the line techniques from the first instruction. 

The third part was easy because all i had to do was draw lines but for the first line i drew quite a thin line then i drew it darker for the other two. The second task instructed me to create a still life using plastic cups, paper plates and cutlery.

 After i set up my still life i started drawing it via observation with the willow charcoal while using a regressive technique. And then i used this tonal technique to give each of the object a form by drawing the outlines first and then going in dark for the shadows while gently blending it away to create the lighter tones.

Textures

 For this task it consisted of two types of medium and 8 different drawings to do. I was instructed to use 2 types of pastels one was oil based and the other was chalk, for the oil based pastels i had draw textures from the outside like mulches under the bushes and yellow parking marks. For the chalk based pastel task i drew textures that was within the college like the carpet in the student area and the books in the library.

For these drawings i tried to make it look as much as the original and i'm happy with how they came out, i like the chalk based pastels because they were easier to use and blend with each other but it was quite messy because it leaves left-over dusts on the paper but for the oil based pastels it was quite hard to work with because when you try to draw with another color on top of the other it kind of just drags the other color along and also the other color sticks to stick meaning the next drawing would be messy because the other color has mixed into it but unlike the chalk pastels it was as messy because they didn't leave any kind of dust or left overs that could potentially stain your clothes.

Colours


For this task i played with analogous, complementary and triadic colour schemes using the colour wheel that i had to construct by cross hatching primary colours together to make the secondary and then cross hatching the primary and the secondary to make the tertiary colours in between them. So the first task was the color wheel and for the second task i had to use three colours in the colour wheel that were next to each other and i chose red, orange and yellow and for this task i wasn't allowed to let the same colour touch each other but from the image above you see that on the C and the A i put the colour orange right next to each other but i just carried on anyway.

For the third task i had to use two colours that were opposite to each other so i chose blue and orange and all i had to for this one was to alternatively use the two colours so if i use orange for the letter and blue for the outside then the next one would be colouring the letter in blue and orange for the outside and i just kept this cycle going. For the final task i was instructed to use three colours that were equally apart from each other meaning that it could be either the primary or secondary colour scheme and i used both of them alternatively and i think that they turned out quite well.
