Buttered mushroom sounds really silly! But I think I like buttershroom better ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ

I finally started with term 6! I had some complications so I was a little late with this week's assignments.

I started by doing exercises with various shapes.

I also practiced with lightning, but I'm not sure if it looks that good, I think I need to keep practicing.

For the next assignment I used one of my old perspective practices .I realized that there were a lot of things that needed to be fixed, so I took the time to add some details and made the lineart less thick. I think those small changes made a big difference (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

And then I added better lightning to set the scene in a day and night environment. The night version is my favorite, but I wish I had changed the color of the couch for the day version.

And I made a new character design! I don't have a name for him, but I thought he could be a tattoo artist.

I tried to make his design look cyberpunk, but I'm not sure I succeeded, I'm not a big fan of that style so it was a bit complicated. But I really like futuristic masks, so I tried to give him one!

I had the idea of ​​putting elf ears on him, but I thought it would be a lot more interesting if it was a device. At first I thought about making them into earphones, but I liked the idea of ​​making them into hearing aids much more. Although I think there are some hearing aids that can do both, so maybe both ideas work perfectly fine lol.

The redraw looks so much better! There are a few small details that make a huge difference, like the edge of the pot or the additional volume on the rocks. The character looks good, can't remember another character that has "elf like ears" from a device. I guess I've seen some characters have cat ears or bunny ears like this, but not elf ears.

Hello! I finished week 2 so here are my assignments!

First, figure drawing exercises!

And for the second assignment I had to create 7 different drawings focusing on the principles of art. I didn't have time to make them very detailed, so I focused on getting my ideas across.

I want to explain a little bit about why I choose to do each of them.

Proportions: I did the sketch for this drawing a few weeks ago and I thought the idea was pretty good. The fairy was supposed to feel a lot closer than the mermaid, but I think I should have adjusted her scale a bit more.

Emphasis: I had the idea but not sketch, so I took the opportunity to make it a reality. The focal point of the piece is the pupil, so I wanted everything else to be in very similar colors and give the feeling of nighttime.

Variety: I wasn't sure what do to with this one, but when I thought about variety I felt that drawing many different flowers would be a good idea. And the little caterpillar is just there to keep the flowers company.

Repetition: Not really a big fan of the drawing, I think I could have made something better. I found some very good examples on this principle, but I didn't want to make geometrical shapes, so I tried making mushrooms.

Balance: This one was a little hard to think about, I didn't really want to make something symmetrical so I searched for more examples of it. I understood that the most important thing was the arrangement, so I tried to divide the drawing into two parts, the sky and the ground.

Movement: I always struggle with adding movement to my drawings so this was painful. I did the sketch a few months ago, but because it was hard to add movement I never finished it. I'm not sure if I did a good job with it, but I'll keep learning and hopefully I'll get better in the future.

Harmony: I really didn't knew what to do with this lol. I first understood it as color harmony, but then I realized it was probably a mix of all the other principles and I really didn't have any more ideas, or any other drawings that could fit the subject. If I'm honest, I think the proportions drawing has better harmony, and also includes other principles!
