Complete!!
The focal point of my drawing is the
central white shell. My eye travels to this subject first because it almost
seems to glow when compared to the prominent gray scale of the background
behind it. Next, my eye travels to the lower right corner because of the bright
texture on the ovals, and from there, the artwork is identified piece by piece
going clockwise. Value is a key component of my work; the eraser tool allowed
me to create dips of color around and through objects to show illumination of
important subjects. There are also thick and thin black, solid lines as a
result of the variation I used in brushes. In fact, the background layer is
composed entirely of a large scale, square-oriented brush. To magnify the
importance of the wrench at the top of the page I used the glow effect with the
assistance of Mr. Powers. Lastly, I incorporated a chalky outline around the
top left shell so that it did not disappear into the powerful black
values of the piece. Each object emerges from the confines of the page and is
evident in its own way. Uniqueness and creativity are priority and
I achieved these goals by varying the strength and shape of my
brushes, using a total of 18 layers, using Gaussian Blur for a soft textural
background, and by successfully fitting 10 objects on one page with an overall
appealing effect.
