Who would have know? Certainly, not I?, That you can create complete drawings out of just lines. The pictures in surroundence are of just that, LINES. As apart of a Computer Graphics homework assignment, I successfully created five drawings, (three of which

are shown) with lines only. WAIT, Theres more!!! We were only allowed to use, 100 lines...YES you read right, only 100!!!! Dont believe me, count for yourself.

Drawing With Shades

In contrast to the drawings on the previous page, these drawings were all created with VALUE in mind. With these three drawings, I really focused on the viewer seeing the darkness and lightness of each specific object. To do this I used hand smudging, along with some overlaying of shades

from light to dark. I wanted the viewer to see the depth of the object. To do this, I made sure to include the top of the object, in a oval type shape, in which I used smudge shading to darken certain areas so they could see exactly how deep I could see into the objects. Moreover,

I wanted the viewer to see the different shades and values of the three drawings.

Using Hues of Color

Picture of a Wine Glass

Craft: Using my hand, a computer mouse, a Mac Desk Top, and Adobe Illustrator I created different stages of the bowl above. Using the Pin Tool, and the Black Move area, I created styles of lines, differentiating in depth, width, thickness, and length. To create a type of volume to this cup, I used different strokes of lines, some going in circular motion while others where

either going vertically or horizontally. For shading I used different hues of green and red, to illustrate the areas that were dark and light on the original object. To get the images published I took multiple screen shots of my screen, and emailed them to myself. From there, I opened and saved them to my desktop, where I took the images from to upload to this blog.

Drawing With Lines

Using Tints and Shades

With this Adobe Illustrator created image, I really focused on the viewers seeing the darkness and lightness of this cup using tints, and shades, better known as Grays, blacks and whites. To do this I used the paint dropper tool along with some overlaying of shades, and hues of gray. I also wanted the viewer to

see the depth and volume of the object. To do this, I carefully constructed each line so that it could form the shape of the object without creating a border line. In the areas that are darker, I also made sure to highlight them with a light color so that one could see exactly how deep the objects were.

Drawing with Shapes

What you are looking at to the left, is my first attempt at drawing with shapes. This was an in class assigntment, that I didnt get a chance to finish, but as you can see from my drawing and the original photograph, I was certainly on my way to depicting the shoe in a very much realistic way

After much practice, and a couple of indecisive desions, I finally completed my assignment. Below you will find, my realistic

copy of the original photograph I decided to use for this project, which is above.

Drawing with Shapes

From Start T Finish o

For the first draft of this project, I did a basic recolition of my original phtograph. I was not trying to add too much detail, but I infact did.

For my second draft, I did some brief touch ups, of the first draft. I took great notes while participating in an inclass critique, so I was able to change specific things that my peers felt would strengthen my project, such as the backgorund.

As I did for the second draft, I again, reviewed some of the points my peers made regarding my piece, and continued to correct them. For instance, on my first draft, the circles around the red pump were very uneven, and not completely smooth. For my third draft, I corrected this by using the Ellispe tool, to create small circles and ovals.

The Blueprint

Finally, after reviewing many of the notes my peers suggested I change and after much practice, I came up with something that was very much close to the original photograph. Creating more sparkles on the phone, fixing the background color and texture along with fine tuning any lines all played apart in making this drawing what it is. For most of my corrections and revisions I used the same tools with the exception of the Gradient tool, and Texture tool.

Theres nothing better than waking up, to a very FALL day, and putting on your green. YES, I said GREEN. Every year there is a color that POPS for that season and this year its green. With the ample amount of options you have to choose from, you can mix and match, wallets, cell phone covers, and WAIT, even keys. All of which can match your most fasionable fashions, and be an accent. Hit the scene with something bright, warm, noticable,just NATURAL...FALL Into Fashion, the GREEN WAY

I am a Creator Creating art each day Finding different ways to express myself Without a Word to say In light comes dark Shadowing my brush To design what I please Pleasantly, no rush Im a loner, a poet A fashionista much more From music to stories Nothing I do ever bores Surrounded by angels Guiding my feet To that place within Where I shall meet

The Artist Within

By Synthia Wesley- 2011

I am an artist A Creator each day In all that I do In all that I say

That artist within Who hides alone Who stands on her feet All on her own In the silence a voice So softly descends, Bringing forth the artist The artist within I am Heaven Synt Standing out in a crowd. Silently making my debut Leaving a trail LOUD
