Color Drawing
The drawing piece was another assignment. We first had to pick objects that worked well together and then draw them. The next thing we did was draw them. Instead of adding value and form with a graphite pencil however, we had to do it with color. We had to make the object look as real as possible. We used different colors to give the objects depth and form. For every object I used different colors. For the apple I used a variation of yellow, orange, reds, brown and some pink. I also added a little white to mix in the colors a little more and to make some spots on the object lighter than others. I had a hard time doing the magnifying glass because I didn’t know how to give the object the form it was suppose to take. I didn’t know how to give the lines direction. In the end I still don’t think it looks that well. The other hard object was the glass flask that holds the feather. In a way I should have made it look more transparent and a little more 3D. To me it looks very solid. It doesn’t look see through. The color doesn’t match with it, it also looks a flat. It didn’t get enough form. It was difficult getting the color right because of the crayola pencils we used. They didn’t mix well and after a few layers of color you couldn’t mix it anymore.
