------------------------

To create a slight 3D effect, charcoal can be applied beforehand on the whole page to create a gray background. The smudge can be manipulated to create certain shadow or highlight in addition to that.

body under cloth

-----------------------In drawing costumed figure, the costume or the clothing worn by the figure must exactly reflect the body gestures. We must feel the body under the fabric.


3 value studies

-----------------------This particular assignment allows us to explore body gesture in 3 values. We only use 3 colors to capture the overall gesture: gray for skin, black for the black vest and hair, and white for the empty space or the white attributes



WEEK 5

------------------------Theme: vampire Trailer Title: The Secret Room

Media: Ink pen, brush pen, and Copic markers on post-its



INK USAGE

------------------------This week, we got to explore a different media, which is ink. We used gray and black inks in particular to apply shadows and incorporate lighting to the drawing.



ways to create mood

------------------------To create a slight 3D effect, charcoal can be applied beforehand on the whole page to create a gray background. The smudge can be manipulated to create certain shadow or highlight in addition to that.




WEEK 6


napkin drawing ------------------------This in class project is fun but brief. Yet we got a chance to try a completely different and not to mention fragile medium (napkin from the cafeteria), to capture the gesture



PAPER CUT

-----------------------We got to experiment with paper cut for this week, using the same concept as the 3 value studies assignment. We only had to use black construction paper for the medium. The paper is to be cut according to the model’s
