...You have 8 steps to drawing a single color illustration. Can you simply explain them? [Rough sketch] For a single illustration, the composition is very important. I have to think about what kind of illustration I want, and what kind of message I want to convey. Because it's only a single illustration, from there the viewer will imagine what kind of scene or story is taking place, so I have to consider the composition and the characters' expressions. (For example, "These two are in the helicopter's searchlight and are being chased across the rooftops...!" or "These two are heading to a formal party♪ They'll be drinking champagne♪") There have been plenty of times when it took me several days to draw countless rough sketches until I made one that I liked (^^; If I don't decide the lines for inking during the rough sketch stage, I'll mess up later on. [Underdrawing] Once I've decided on the rough sketch, I take the paper that I'll do the coloring on and attach the rough sketch underneath, then use a light table to reproduce the drawing. However, even if I trace the illuminated image, I'll never get exactly the same drawing... The characters' expressions that I've spent so much time deciding on will end up changing a little at this stage, so I make some minute adjustments while taking care to not damage the paper. The paper I use is gentle and becomes fuzzy easily, so I have to be very mindful. That's because when you apply color ink to a damaged part, it...

...Drawing to Painting This paper will discuss artist Raphael and his painting The Alba Madonna and what process the artist used in painting. This paper will show how Raphael used drawing as a method to painting. This paper will also inform the reader of the materials Raphael used in his art work and how the foundations of his paintings come together in final work. In addition to the materials Raphael used this paper will also explain why the artist drew prior to him painting and what the artist wanted to express through his art work. One of the materials Raphael used was metalpoint. Metalpoint was a tool that many artists used in the late-fifteenth century to create drawings. The metalpoint creates a chemical reaction once it is applied to paper this would produce lines (Sayre, 2010). Raphael also used chalk his drawings. Many artists would use chalk in their drawings; the artist sharpen the chalk to a point so it would be used like a pencil. Raphael typically would use oil on wood panels, but he also used oil on a canvas to create paintings. Raphael was on of the first artists to showcase the power of oil when used in paintings. This is because of oil’s texture and its ability to give a high gloss finish. Tempera is another medium that Raphael used in his painting. Tempera is using powdered pigments that are mix with egg yolks and water (The free dictionary, n.d.). Raphael has the ability to perfectly blend colors in his artwork. Raphael learned from Leonardo...

...Young Children and Drawing Complexity: An Examination of the Effect of Age-related Cognition and Gender Understanding the way children develop cognitively plays an important role in psychological research. Part of the ongoing research has been in the area of evaluating the drawings of young children (Cherney, Seiwert, & Dickey, & Flichtbail, 2006). It has been suggested that these drawings provide a valuable insight into the emotional and social development of children and are often used for assessing cognitive maturation ( Golomb, 2012). Lucquet (1913, 1927) as cited in Anning and Ring (2007), was an early observer of this approach and noted that drawing stages in a child’s development exist. Picard and Durand (2005) suggest children five to seven years old evolve fundamentally from a period where they draw “what they know” about life around them to a period in which their drawings are “what they see”. The research conducted by Cox and Ralph (1996) involving children aged, five, seven and nine showed differences in abilities to children to adapt their drawings to cover different profiles of a modelled human figure. The five year old children were found to be less discrete and less successful . However, the older children were able to display a considerable amount of ability in adapting their models, in particular the nine year old children were able to include more facial details and draw the running model with “bent arms and legs”. Cox and Ralph concluded that...

Systematically used these methods can yield fantastic results serving as a tool in the form and design generation / development process. In various product domains, especially where sheer aesthetic appeal or plurality of form is more important than functionality or utility; development of form family, variations on theme, etc. are the main design activity. This way of working will serve as an effective tool in cases where the design development process is confined mostly to the paperwork only but the product demands or has a scope for 3Dimensional thinking e.g. industrial jewelry design. Approach: Viewed individually, orthographic views could be interpreted in more then one way; using this...

Potential directions have contributed greatly to the development of my final art works. Initially I had the desire to create a sculpture using wire therefore I had multiple trials using different wire thickness as well as sizes however it presumed to be extremely hard to handle and heavily time consuming. Upon researching different art methods and techniques I came across a new form of pencil drawing called ‘gesture drawing.’ A gesture drawing is basically a quick drawing that captures the essential gesture of a subject in its most distilled form. I thought that this proved to be quite ironic (particularly to my subject matter) I found humor in this and instantly fell in love with the idea. Then I realised that gesture is everywhere, embodies in every object, person and place. It is action, emotion, movement and expression all rolled together into one cohesive...

...astronaut, a teacher, a race-car driver, a tattoo artist, a janitor. What would I be? I felt as though my days of playing in the sandbox and eating glue were over - I had to plan my future. But there, face to face with my teacher, I declared, "A giraffe!" My teacher stared at me for a long time; I still wonder what was going through her head. Maybe she thought I was on special medication or my parents were free-spirited hippies who taught me I could be whoever (or whatever) I wanted. Then she just smiled and turned back to the class. "Children, next Friday is 'Bring Your Kids to Work Day.' All of you will join one of your parents at his or her job and learn about what they do for a living. And on Monday, you'll share that by drawing a picture about your day! Won't that be exciting?" She clasped her hands and grinned at the rugrats sitting below her. Just then her eyes focused on a small jelly-covered hand that shot up into the air. "Can I go to the potty?" Apparently my class was not as excited as my teacher had hoped. A small light bulb flashed above my head, however, as an idea came to mind. I'll go to work with Daddy! I decided. That way I can grow up and still watch cartoons, just like him! My father is an animator for Disney Studios. I never really knew what an animator did, only that he came home with movies like "Aladdin," "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast." We would all gather on the couch and watch, but...

...Since I was a young child I've been captivated by all the Disney movies and cartoons that were on TV. Watching a cartoon if so much different from watching a normal television show with actual people. I've always loved the way that a cartoon can bring a smile to not only a child's face but an adult's face as well. It's been amazing to watch the way Disney has progressed with its animation department from the time I was an a child to be becoming an adult. I've always had a talent for drawing. Over the years I've won numerous awards and I just knew it was something that I wanted or at least envisioned myself doing for the rest of my life. When I was younger my mom enrolled my in an animation class at the Cleveland Institute of art. I was captivated. Every day I would come to class and sketch out another scene picture, which would be compiled with my other drawings and the end of the course and made into a short film. Although the video was only about two minutes long, it was amazing how my drawings came to life. We were even able to add a voice over. Watching my animation and seeing my classmate’s reaction was when I knew that this actually was what, I've been destined to do. During my senior year of high school I contemplated whether or not I wanted to go to art school or attend a regular four year university. I ended up choosing to go to a normal college because of the costs and not being sure if animation was going to work out in the long run. Although, I still draw every day...

...Lab Assignment Part A – Analysis of Literature Data 1. Proof Stress vs Cold Work 600 500 Proof stress (MPa) 400 15µm 300 200 100 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Cold work (%) 70µm Sample 5 - 15µm Sample 5 - 70µm Figure 1 – Proof Stress vs Cold Work of 70/30 Brass As can be seen from Figure 1, the 0% cold worked points (Sample 5) for each grain size is in line with the curve of the other four points. The amount of proof stress increases with increased cold work, but approaches an asymptote at a point of maximum increase in proof stress. Cold working uses processes such as drawings to deform the grains in a material, thereby increasing the proof stress of the material. 2. (i) Grain size strengthening is a process that reduces the sizes of the grains in a material, typically by annealing. This works to increase the strength of the material through the fact that grain boundaries act as a barrier to dislocations. As can be seen in Figure 1, decrease in grain size causes an increase in proof stress. Cold working involves plastically deforming a material such that dislocations become concentrated. These dislocations then become entangled, hindering further dislocation movement, thereby increasing the strength of the material. As can be seen in Figure 1, proof stress can be increased dramatically by cold work hardening, but only to a point. (ii) Grain size strengthening and cold work hardening can be used together to form a much stronger material. Grain size strengthening reduces...

...catches your eye to the main idea this way. The figures are distorted. They don’t have a real sense of balance or proportion. They tend to be formed how they want. The body’s on the figures for example are never really accurate to one another or too symmetrical obviously if there’s an arm on one side their tends to be on the other side but they may not always align or be doing the same thing. In my opinion and from my point of view, no. He doesn’t have an equal or a rule book he follows. He does what he feels should be done and he leaves his representation of how it appears or should appear to him. He has his own ideas and isn’t afraid to follow them. The focal point in his painting is the figure sitting. He achieves this focal point by drawing smaller lines around it that draw your eye to the...

...many artists that are well known to us these days even though they died many years ago, e.g. Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and Van Gogh. They became famous because of there high quality work that gave an affect on people when they saw the painting. In my opinion not all paintings are thought to be art because some of them do not make sense. Maybe the person who drew it understands what it meant but for me I don’t understand it. The painter should be straight forward when trying to tell the audience something in his painting. Putting many different pictures or shapes in a painting in a weird way makes the quality of it very low without any form of organization. A person before painting should organize his/her thoughts at first so when drawing he/she will have a goal that he/she want to show. The image above is one of my favorite paintings. It is called Leaf Album and it was painted by Chen Hongshou. I liked because it gave me the sense of sympathy and harmony. The colors of it are very soft and...

...deeds. The main factor of the poor and homelessness is starvation, the need for food is harming the poor’s health and days of life. So, the first thing I would draw would be multiple factories that produce unlimited amount of free artificial and organic food for the dirt poor to aid them in their needs. The poverty in our world is outrageous and in danger of needing help. In my kindness I’d also love to help them by supplying them a home. A creation of multiple apartments in countries who need them the most like Ghana, Nigeria and others located in Africa would be fascinating. Helping others composes my feelings into feeling courteous and grateful for what I accomplish. No better feeling than knowing you rescued multiple human lives. Drawing everything I “want” and do not need is being selfish if I am already living a good healthy life. When you have the power of creating whatever you want you have to cautious and careful into choosing what to draw. The capability of the magic purple crayon is deadly and you should use it...

...Cynthia Solomon-Johnson ECH-335 Toni Kutner July 27, 2014 Observation and Analysis When looking at the development of students from the age band of infancy through age 8 they had gained all of their development stages starting with social/emotional, physical, speech, and cognitive growth. Starting with the 0-9months of development, the students were discovering their hands and feet with the ability to move them along with manipulating objects and starting to crawl. They also have begun to smile at other, able to have mastery of their heads and demonstrates pleasure with feeling safe and trust others. The next age development is the 9-18 months and this is when the student becomes mobile and is scooting, crawling, walking and toddling around holding on to a table, chairs, and others. In the social/emotional stage the student will express strong emotional sentiments and are afraid of strangers. They are aware and curious about their peers with poking and pulling of eyes, hair, and etc. The student at this stage had started language development by making gestures, pointing at things, and bulging out their first words, and trying to put them into a phrase. The concept of more or less is now taking place with this phase. The 18 to 3 years of age or where the physical development is much more noticeable with jumping, running, throwing, paddling and climbing better than when they were...
