Time Log 12

Tuesday 11.9.10
6hrs.
I worked on rendering the campfire scene with marker and color pencil. I also drew in the campfire and lighting bugs. I researched campfires and lighting bugs online and made several study/test drawings before putting them in to the illustration.

Thursday 11.11.10
2hrs.
I continued to render the campfire scene.

Monday 11.12.10
2hrs.
I began to shade the calapitter in the campfire scene. I also began sketching out options for the rest of the illustrations.

Total Hours:
10 hrs.

Method of Presentation

After playing with several different ideas of how to present my drawing I chose one that I thought would work the best. I would like to display each of the illustrations one at a time. So I bought a 12x12 strap hinged scrapbook album that allows me to display each drawing separately. I would like to be able to remove each illustration from the portfolio if need be, so I bought photo corners that will allow me to slide the illustrations in and out. I did not want any sleeve cover protectors over my drawings because I believe that they loose their quality and they can also add glare to the illustrations, so the pages of the scrapbook do not have built in protective sleeves. I did buy some sleeve protectors separately in order to protect the illustrations when being viewed.

Tuesday 11.2.2010
6hrs
I sketched out several different variations for the campfire scene and then selected the best and draw it out. I played with adding more character and human sized elements into the illustration.

Thursday 11.4.2010
4hrs
I began adding color to campfire illustration. I also brain stormed on the method of presentation I want for the final critique.

Friday 11.5.2010
2hr
I went shopping for the materials that I want to use to display each of my illustrations for the final critique. I also worked on rendering the campfire scene.

Saturday 11.6.2010
3hrs.
I was able to attend the Greenville open studio event, which was amazing. I had never been inside an actual practising professional artist studio and I was awesome to talk to the artist. It was also helpful see what each of the artist created and what is being created by artist now! 

Total Hours:
15hrs.

Week 10

I was awesome to work on rendering the night sky and I think it turned out almost how I imagined it. Which is pretty neat. But now that I am almost done with it I think there are some things I would change in the layout of the illustration. There are some empty spaces, so I am contemplating redoing it. It was good I guess for me to practice how I wanted to illustrate it. But I may just continue working on the rest of the drawings and come back to it.

Sad Week

I planned on grabbing a few hours of drawing here and there in the midst of my crazy week. However my interior design project(that is due on Wednesday!) has consumed my ever moment. I know that is not an excuse, but I do plan on working really hard this week to make up for time lost last week.
