Sketches

 

 These sketches were done over a variety of weeks. Every time I sketch something it improves my ability to draw and sketch faster. I like to sketch because it's simple and when I sketch I can draw anything I want too. My weakness with sketching is that I erase a lot, and sometime I'd like too sketch something without erasing at all.

Reflection:
These sketches are a collection of my skill and progress of sketching over several weeks. Before you look at these I want to remind you that these sketches are not perfect, they reflect how well I interpreted the assignments. Even though I tried my best, some are a little odd. Each time before I started drawing I would read the assignments, think about what I would draw and interpret them. Some of the assignments were hard but I still tried my best. For my progress, it is a little hard to tell whether I made an improvement or not because some of the sketches in the front of the book are better than some of the ones toward the back. But to me, I think I made a tremendous amount of progress. I learned so much during sketching such as, good strategies for shading, lighting, and what pens and pencils work best. I will take what I've learned in these sketches and incorporate my knowledge into my future project. I hope you enjoy looking at my sketches.

English Medievel Textile

I created a textile from the English Medieval time period. When I think of the medieval times I think of princesses, princes, cupid and love. So for this textile design I wanted to add a princess, prince, cupid and a rose to symbolize their love. I like this because, to me a typical textile is just a pattern not an actual picture or "scene". My knowledge improved not only in Photoshop but in In Design as well.

Geometric Pattern

For this project I had to collect 6 images that reflect a English Medieval time period and distort them so they look unrecognizable. I liked creating this piece because there is no telling what the images looked like before I distorted them, I really made the images unrecognizable. I've used Photoshop before but after I completed this piece, I learned about twice the amount of knowledge that I had already known about Photoshop. My weakness was fitting the pictures in all the little shapes because there are a lot of shapes in this pattern. But creating this piece was really fun and my skills have really improved.
