My goals and intentions with these pieces of artwork were to portray different fabrics and fashions to show others my love for clothing. To achieve my goals, I chose photos that had an interesting sleeve and arm placement. I was surprised to use purples and oranges to create the perfect brown and how layering the colors made everything pop more. The most difficult challenge was figuring out to make a light color but still making the color be saturated. I used yellow mainly to achieve the light spots in my work. I experienced the shift to right brain thinking by looking at the shapes in the fabric and outlining those shapes I found. A dull pencil makes a dull drawing. When it doubt, blend it out. Draw the shapes. My drawing works together in the colors I used and in the fabric placement of each sleeve and arm. I also used a contrasting blue to make the clothing pop. I learned how to use water color pencils and I liked them because they helped blend my colors together while still being able to see my mark on the work. I really liked Jess's work because her style was so different than mine. I loved how block-y it was and the high intensity colors made it pop which is something I struggle with. If i had a do-over, I would start with a base color. For example, for the red dress I would color the entire thing a light red and then go back in with highlights and shadows. I think the best thing about my work is the use of different colors and layering I used to make shadows.
