In class today we had to use the iPad to make a drawing with value and make the shading of the object that we made look like it had a light source, and it had depth. This is a lot like using oil pastels because you have to know what colors would go good together and making sure you don’t go from one extreme color to the next. You have to have some colors between. I think this would be a helpful tool to help you to see if you wanted to draw something with color and see how it would come out. This class period helped me understand that it isn’t as easy as you may think trying to blend colors together.

With this contour line drawing you really had to look at the detail of the shoe and everything that goes into the shoe. With contour line drawing you really have to know what you are drawing and you have to know how the lines are going to come out because you are drawing with pen. This project helped me understand that drawing with pen can be difficult and hard to do but if you take the time to look at the detail then what you are trying to draw won’t come out how you want it to. 

Lexi's winnie the pooh skeleton

For one of the first drawings we did it was a skeleton of a cartoon of our choice.  I choose to do Winnie the Pooh. When I first started drawing him I saw that he didn’t have fingers or toes, so I made the bones where his hands and feet were to be solid bone. When drawing the legs I remembered that he sits down a lot, so I made the hips so that it would be easy for him to sit down. I made the spine short because he isn’t that tall. The hips I made wide being he is a kind of fat. When I moved on to his head; I saw he had really small eyes and his eye brows where far away from his eyes. It didn’t look like he had a lot of teeth but he needed some for him to eat, so I made the teeth in the back of his head. His ears I made a bone for them on the top of his head because I thought that it would only made sense. His ears are always up and the only ways for them to stay in shape is for there to be a bone there.
