Project #4: Perspective

This was for project 4: perspective. The mediums are acrylic and felt-tip pen. 

I picked this project because I needed something easy that I liked. Perspective is very difficult, especially to replicate, so I needed something that I could re-create easily. 

The part of this project that could use the most work is the letters themselves. I had a hard time getting the perspective right, and it was difficult to paint around the letters. I do think it looks okay, but more practice with perspective would've been better. 

Project 6 - Abstract

This is the abstract project (project #6). The mediums used were felt tip pen and acrylic paint. 

My inspiration for this mask was the objects that define me project 1 option. I really enjoy theatre and even though I didn't use this for that project I wanted to use it another time. Since masks are abstract I decided to use this picture. 

I think the mask itself turned out really well. Although I ended up not being able to use pen for all of it like I originally planned, I think the paint looks even better. The only thing I don't particularly like is the purple background. I tried to do the entire thing in colored pencil but it didn't work so I had to paint over it. This made the purples different and it's still visible, but not awfully. You can also see the brush strokes because the bristles on the brush were too coarse, but otherwise it's okay. 

Next time I would use only one medium (for an area... like only one medium for the background). I would also pick a softer brush.
