Slithery Sponge bob

This is my fifth assignment and the theme is slither. My first idea was to draw a snake but I figured I'd do something else. My idea came from working with my project of Spongebob Square pants slide show. This drawing was done by pencil. I call this art piece, Slippery-do. Sponge bob is one of my favorite shows and I love to draw him. 

When I searched sponge bob this image came through and instead I only used the body form he was in and change the whole scene to water. I decided not to draw the arms or legs because I figured since he's a sponge he didn't need arms or legs. I barely had any trouble with this assignment.

Artificial Bird

This was my fourth assignment, the theme was artificial and my idea was to have two birds together but one is of course artificial. My first idea was to draw a  two toucan birds instead of a parrot but it didn't work so well. For the bird on the left, I shaded it in for the bird to look as realistic as possible with small details such as the feathers and the small pattern around the eye area. For the bird on the right side was the easiest one to draw because there wasn't much to it since it was the artificial bird. I was going for the plastic look, so I didn't want to add any details to it. This drawing was all done by pencils only. This was one of the hardest topic for me but actually one of my favorite.

For the bird on the left I used this image to help draw my bird. The head position is much different from my actual drawing and the body form but I followed some of the details on this bird. I also followed the light/dark part of the lighting on the bird.

And now to my artificial bird, I used this image to help me draw the bird. I looked at all sorts of plastic like birds to help make my bird on the right look fake.

My dwarfs

I was assigned to draw my own dwarf and this is what I came up with.The characters I drawn are actual dwarfs, there are about 7 different emotions. The emotions I drew are gloomy, goofy, sick, shocked, tired, angry and smarty. The troubles I had with my characters were drawing the different emotions, it was hard to keep the characters the same. I'm not good at drawing body parts such as the arms and the hands, so I also had trouble with that.

Acrobat

This was my third assignment, the theme is Acrobat. This is called Acrobat Explosion The idea I had in mind at first was drawing as many different acrobat positions as possible, they would be all over the place but then as I was drawing I decided that for every acrobat person they would have their own scene of presentation. When I finished I chose to colour the acrobats black and the background colours bright but as I thought I figured its better if the acrobats were colored. The background is a plain color except for the bottom right because I wanted one thing to stand out. The hardest part of this piece would bet the colouring, I had trouble finding what colours to use.

I got my acrobat positions from this image but this isn't all of it.

My dwarf creation

This is my creation of my dwarf, the emotion that I used is goofy and the name that has been given to him is Dr.Loafy. I wanted his look to be silly, I added in as much details as I could because at the start of my dwarf when I thought the look was complete, it was too simple and plain when I decided to added in all sorts of details such as hair, bandage, stitches and what not. The details I added in were basically to create his sloppy and careless look, for instance the bandage was to show he is careless.

 
The hardest part of creating my dwarf would probably be the hair. My other idea for creating the hair was to make strands and strands of hair but instead I molded all pieces together and use a cutting tool to create the piece of strands itself as you can see in this image.


But for the hair above his hat was when I decided to use the idea I had first, which was creating pieces of pieces of strands because I wanted more details by popping out the hair, and I wanted his hair to have a messy look. I placed the strands of hair all over the place to create that messy look.
 
The easiest part of creating my dwarf would be making the hat. I wanted my dwarf to have a sloppy look and so I cut the dwarfs hat making the hat look really worn out and used.

The emotion that was supposed to be used is gloomy but as I was making my dwarf I decided to go with goofy because I had more ideas for it.

You can see the details much closer in this image. The labeled word ''GOOF'' placed on his hat was just something I wanted to add because the hat was still too plain and so I made patches of squares to make it look like extra quilts to create that old look.

For the tip of the hat, it was actually supposed to be one ball but then I decided to add in more balls to make that fluffy look. In this picture you can tell that there are rips and stitches to create that 'worn out' look. Lastly, for the eyes I was going to leave it carved with nothing in it but decided to just make two small balls and fill it in the carved area.

This assignment was really fun because I love working with hands and because I never worked with plasticine before, so I learned and tried something new.
