Dusty

This is the first sketchbook assignment I've done in the beginning of second semester. The theme was dusty, and my idea was having little dust people running in fear from the swifter! This is called ''The Swiper'' I thought of this title because of the show Dora The Explorer that has a character name swiper the fox. My first idea before I came up with this one is drawing a shelf with ancient tea set in a cabinet that hasn't been open for years but it didn't work well for me so I went with my second choice. I only used pencils and pencil crayons.The colors that are used most in my drawing is black because theirs not much too it, just dust. The blue colour represents the clean side that the swifter has cleaned, I didn't want the colour to be too dark so I colored it in lightly or any bright colours since the theme is dusty and I wanted the picture to be simple and dark. I drew as many dust people with different actions to fill in the spaces. I also included dust balls because I didn't want to just include dust people.

When I thought of this idea I thought of the advertisement of Swiffer.

When I decided to draw this, my friend gave me an idea of drawing little dust people running and so that's when I came up with my final idea.

Spooky

This is my second sketchbook assignment, the theme was spooky. I got my idea from the movie Monster inc but I created them to make them look more frightening. Their characteristics in the movie is portrayed friendly, but in my drawing I designed them to be evil looking. 

For my background colours, I used dark colours such as brown and black; which made it become more terrifying. The faces of the characters is changed, by adding scary features such as sharp teeth, saliva and the look of anger. They are creeping out to find someone to scare or eat! I wanted the monsters to stand out so I used colours such as lime green, purple and light blue. This was actually my only idea I had in mind. I had difficulties on colouring in the blue monster just because the monster had blue and purple fur and I couldn't blend it in well so it didn't turn out as how I imaged it.

Final Texture Face

This is my final texture face, the colours I used are warm colours. As you can see there are different textures in different shapes. For this assignment, I had to go around the school and shade in different textures that I could find. This was mostly all used on computer, I learned to photo shop the textures I coloured and placed it on the differenet shapes.

I made three different mask and I chose this one, I was imaging a superman type of mask. I used as many different textures I could find. For the mouth, the zigzags indicates teeth's, I wanted the look to be robot like, so I used the purple brick textures to show that he's solid as well as the rectangle patterns that were colored from a heating vent, the eyes have numbers, showing that theres a glitch happening. Onto his eyes, its wrapped in a orange colour cloth, the patterns are the lines, I wanted the texture to be simple. The colours that I used are purple,orange,red,yellow and pink.

Overall, this assignment was pretty fun, I enjoy going around school and shading in multiple patterns. I also loved that I learn how to work the photo shop application.

In process of my texture face

The beginning of first semester we began working on something called Texture face. We walked around school shading in on different materials to see different types of textures. We than started to draw masks with all sorts of shapes and in those shapes will be the different types of textures we found around the school. This is my texture face that I came up with. I believe this was my third drawing, the other masks that I drew didn't seem to suite what I was looking for and then I came to this drawing. At the end of this work, my mask will be filled with colors of different textures.

The other textures I had are these. I didnt choose either if this because they weren't what I was really looking for. The mask were to simple and boring.

Here are some of my textures that I have found around the school, these are some of the warm colours for my texture face.
