My design differs from the other designers through the character Gus himself and the colors throughout my piece are different, for example the carriage is a different color than in the movie. I started off by drawing my sketch of the characters on my white piece of paper. I then mixed two different shades of brown and painted the horse. The horse represents what Gus in going to turn into by Cinderella's, Fairy Godmother's magic wand. After that I painted the carriage and wand and added many small details using a small brush. I would recommend using a small brush to get nice details throughout the piece. I did not start off doing that and it got messy when I was painting the horse. I then painted the hand of the Fairy Godmother's and added shadows on the hand. After that I painted Gus using many different colors for his clothing. After that I painted the background. I then went back with white gel pen and added fairy magic coming from the wand and in other place. Also I used a black sharpie pen to fill in the eyes, nose, mouth, and whiskers of Gus and the horse. This project was very challenging, but I like a challenge. I called my piece GUS.

Charcoal Drawing
The pros of charcoal drawing are that the charcoal is fun and easier to blend than other materials and it gives the drawing a little bit of a texture, which I really like. The darkness of the charcoal, when you press it down hard on the paper, gives a nice demension to object and makes it look 3-D. The cons of charcoal drawing are that it is so messy and gets everywhere and it is hard to fix a mistake once you make it. When you press the charcoal down too hard it makes it really hard to make it lighter after that. Warm Up:
The warm up that I think helped me the most was the pastel sphere. This is because it taught me how to add shadows and light spots based from the light is shining on to the object.
Composition: The nature of somethings ingredients. The way in which a whole is made up. Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. Meet Your Mentor
My mentor is Shaley Khoury. She is a senior at Apex High School and is taking Art 4 right now. She loves the medium photography and she also likes to draw buildings in the sky. Her digital portfolio link is Shaelyn-apex-2018.weebly.com. I think I can benefit a lot by this because she gave me such amazing advice about how improve my art. Also having someone who has already taken the class give me advice helps by making me feel like at some point my art could be just as awesome as hers if I really work hard and have fun with it. I want to learn different techniques in art and how I can use those techniques in my pieces. Learning Color/Paint Mixing
I learned how to mix paint colors to form different tints and shades of color. I also learned what colors are mixed to get to another color, for example, yellow, red, and white make orange! Brown Swatches
Brown is made by mixing Orange and Blue, Green and Red, and Purple and Yellow. Brown can be made lighter or darker by adding white or black. |
