My Final Drawing....


Well, I'm done with drawing!!! With the class at least. I still plan on keeping up on interior spaces and perspectives. But I am not planning on staging any more still lifes for a long time!

So this is my final drawing for the class. It is of Dylan's room. Well, I guess I should clarify...it's how I WISHED Dylan's room looked. It's right as far as the arrangement of the furniture, windows and that stuff. But I have been inspired by my own drawing. I want to get in there and do some more refined decorating. Oh and the squares and stripe on the wall are there now. They are brown, orange, blue and green. Very warm boy colors.

My next class is the Theory of Color! Wow, I was way off in what I thought it was going to be. I thought we would learn if you mix blue and red you get purple stuff. But then I guess that would be first grade art and not a college coarse! It's very complex and scientific right now. I'm hoping it will get more into the psychological of how colors make people feel and think. That's something that's always interested me. Most of the assignments are done on the computer using both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. These are both amazing programs that are easy to use. But man! there is a ton you can do on them. That makes it tough to do. You could spend hours playing and learning and then forget what you've done and how you've done it!. I have a great book explaining a lot though so that makes it nice. (on a side note...until taking these classes starting in May, I've NEVER used any program other than Word. now I've used Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe PDF!)

So, I'll keep you posted on my adventure...if I don't go crazy! :)

Looking at this again after we talked, I am so mad that they might say you draw kinda cartoonish. I love it. Great job, Katie. And if you want to draw another Raggedy Anne for me, go for it. Making your book this week. Just got some special paper for it.

Katie, great job on your art. I think you have a good feel for shading and depth of field. The rug on the floor looks flat and out of perspective, but I actually love it. I think it's sort of 'signature' or stylistic for your own illustrations. LOVE it. Let's see some color. ;)
