STENCIL

This is the picture for the upcoming stencil project that will be used

Value Scale

I think this piece came out pretty well and I was satisfied with the finished product. Shading the background was a total pain and I kept scratching the paper but getting the dark blacks was worth it. At first I didnt notice the hairpiece that she was wearing so it looked kind of weird but I fixed it in the end. I will probably go back and fix her eyes so the sizes match and sharpen the edges. Also a thin outline on her nose would make it appear less flat and the proportions of her lips will be fixed. I thoroughly enjoyed this project in the end and would like to do more of these shading pieces, even if they're a pain in the butt.

Shadows

This peice was fun to make. Finding the right pieces of trash to use was definetly the hard part. With Valentine's Day in heart, we decided to make a rose and candle with the word love above it. Making the perfect shapes with the shadows was pretty hard and we ended up using this cut out of cardboard for the flame of the candle. Although I dont think this peice was one of the best ones we've made, it was pretty fun to set up.

EVERYBODY RUN

Its GODZILLAAAAAAAA. Reduced the layers of an already poor image. forgot to make it black and white but the printer does it for me so woohoo.

Flying tiger

I cropped out the tiger from the original picture of him jumping on another tiger at some water place. I added a drop shadow and then made a smaller version of it to the bottom right.

racing the rhino

I missed a bit of background from the rhinos butt and between his legs. The lighting from the original picture is hard white compared to the reddish yellow that shows off the rhino and there is a lack of shadow to the right of the rhino. Besides that the picture is pretty cool.

mr. salmonella

I enjoyed drawing this turtle a considerable amount more than drawing the skeleton of the newimal or Chic. Getting to watch the turtle mosey around in its tank was cool and drawing him was even more fun
The skin of the turtle looked really run to draw with all the wrinkly lines and textures.

Drawing the specific parts of the shell was hard and the overall dark color of the turtle shell proved hard to apply on paper. I don't know how to shade very well but overall I think the turtle came out pretty well. Next time I would probably focus more on the details of the head and the parts of the turtles body that stuck out of the shell.
