I will be turning in my finished and bound sketchbook tomorrow night. I was excited to find I would be learning how to bind a book myself; it is actually quite easy! Getting the contents to put in the book, now that was the not-so-easy part.
Before binding everything together, I thought I should scan some of the things I had drawn, so I could have them in an electronic format as well as the paper book. So I thought I would show you 2 or 3.
Don’t ask me what it is, I started with a circle, then added another one, and it went from there. This is what I ended up with. I just had to make sure I had something that had colors that went together.
For this one, the instructions were “Color in Discord”. You would think it would be really easy to make colors that look horrible together. I thought it would, considering how many times I made awful colors with a previous project. But when I WANTED to make them clash? Oh, no, they didn’t ever come out looking awful then! Although I think this yellow-green circle is pretty blech with those other colors. And remember, the background of the paper is gray, not white. I guess it’s cheaper to give us gray paper than white paper.
This is from the our “Using Text in Art” period. I’m not sure if you can tell, since I had to downsize the picture, but the picture is made up of words. The flower petals are made of the word “flower”, the stem is made of many “stem”(s), the leaves are made of “leaf”, and the grass is made of the word “grass”.
Next class up will be Computer Graphics. I’m going to miss drawing by hand!
