Project 7 Number 1

Project 7
Number 1

In this project I took an original photograph that I took and traced it. In the original, there was a complete background of trees, a field and the sky; I erased all of this to focus on the main point, Brian. The photo was in black and white so when tracing, I decided to put some color into it. I traced every point that you could see on him, including the creases in his pants and the peanut butter sandwiches that he was holding. And when tracing the tree, I made sure to trace all of the stump lines.
For my color choice, I did the outer tracing line in a darker shade on his pants and the outer shading line on the tree lighter. This I believe sets the eyes at a better focus point. For his hands, I just traced them in grey because they aren’t an important detail to emphasize. The only other that that I did was shade. I did a dark brown on the tree, a regular blue on his jeans and just black for his jacket.

The mood that I was going for was humor. The picture in itself is humor and the colors just add to it.
This project was almost exactly like project 3 that I seemed to have a lot of trouble with, but in this one, I seemed to do just fine.
