Visual Narrative Project- Kolesa

Rough draft photos:





Reference photos: 

I used my own photograph as inspiration, however i was inspired by Dr. Seuss' many characters when looking for inspiration for details and colors for my character. 

Final Phase-

This piece is a cartoon drawing of a dog. The dog is a character I created based on my own pet. I used colored pencils to represent the bright and varied colors throughout the piece. There's natural colors as well as brighter ones to compliment each other and highlight different important pieces. The dog is the center of attention however there is still a background to give the piece more detail and meaning. 

The principal in my piece is contrast. There is contrast between light and dark. As well as between the various colors and the character and the background. This piece is organized by showing off the character but also showing background and a storyline to give the piece more meaning. 

The meaning of the story i created was just to bring to life something that means so much to me. I wanted to really bring character and human emotion to the dog. I wanted to not only create the character himself but also give him something fun and creative to be doing.

Overall my personal strengths were finding the right color combinations and distributing the colored pencils thoroughly throughout the page. Along with that i think i gave the character a good amount of personality and emotion in how he looks. My growths were definitely in growing in the art of cartoons as well as color because most projects that i do are made realistically and with pencil.

There's also movement throughout because the girl in mid-action. Contrast is also very prominent to define the darker parts and in order to create a light source in the piece. I organized this piece by using a simple action so that it was clear what the girl was doing, but still provided an interesting scene. I then created a background with the blended line around her to add detail to the background but not take attention away from her, rather bring attention to her.          The meaning of this piece was to illustrate an action that i thought was fascinating and is done in many di

Artists (Current & Master)

The current artist i chose was Lindsay Bryant. I chose Lindsay because she has many upclose drawings and paintings that i admired for their detail and technique. Especially with her horse paintings. The master artist i chose was Edgar degas. I chose Degas because although he did many pieces on ballerinas i liked the technique and realistic style he would often use. He in fact had a few horse pieces that inspired me to choose the piece i did.
