Week 2 Harmony

The five pictures story is originated from my dream. I had a dream of fighting inside a dungeon like I’m a video game character, and when finally I crawled out of the dungeon which normally would lead to a victory scene, I began to fall freely in the sky. I could even fly without any wings, but on the ground there were thousands of monsters even worse than the ones inside the dungeon. Then after I found somewhere to land, I immediately crawled back to the dungeon to hide myself from monsters.

I tried to use the size contrast to create depth and sense of nervousness in my first two pictures. But I agreed that the contrast is not enough. The third one is my favourite. Third one and forth one all used a nearly symmetric composition, but I added some asymmetry to make it more interesting.

Week 1 – Papercut 101

This is the first time I’m doing serious paper-cut. At first it’s frustrating to deal with the shadow and small shapes in the original photo. Then Instead of focusing on the light and shadow, I tried to focus more on the texture and weight of the objects. So for the cloud I chose a flowing texture, and for the ground I chose a solid black with same grains on it (However in the final version I didn’t cut out the grains, because I think they will tend to attract more attention than it should be. The most challenging part is the people and the trees, which both had very complicated outline shapes.

Research for the final project

This are some pictures I want to draw for my final project.

Final Project – 2016 Cross Talk concert

Cross talk is one of the traditional culture in the northern part of China. It’s like the talk show in the western countries, which is funny and sometimes talks about social issues in a sarcastic way. The cross talk the an art of the Chinese language. It brings laughs to people and breaks down the wall between people. Holding this kind of concert also make the Chinese audiences feel at home.

Week 7 – Quick figure drawing

This week we went to SAC and draw the people as well as the environment there. All the people are moving so it’s really hard to draw.

Week 3 and 4 – Perspective drawing

These two week we have been learning perspective drawing, from one referencing point to two and three points.

Week 11 – Still-life and further shadow study

This week we learnt about some further technique of drawing complicated object and shading. My second work isn’t finished. But one important thing I learnt is that we can draw thing at a more interesting perspective like zoom in at one particular angle.

Week 10 – Action pose and creativity

This week’s lesson is very interesting! We focus more on the environmental feeling of one picture (gloomy or scary). And I actually draw a man smoking, with the smoke shapes as the woman he is thinking about. Besides, I also draw a picture of an energetic female fighter who has just beaten some bad guys to the ground.

Week 9 – Facial expression

This week we learnt how to draw the facial expression for man and woman. Shading on the face is much more complicated than the shading on object. You can neither make it to dark or to bright. It really takes time to make it look layered.

Week 6 – Figure Drawing (male)

This week we tried to draw male figure, which is a bit different from the female because male has more obvious muscle and lines. But its actually more important to control the proportion properly on male.
