Assignment

  • Review the techniques and videos from class this week.
  1. Re-scan your analog illustrations from last week OR you can create TWO new drawings that are the same as the assignment from last week: On paper, create two new 5" by 5" drawings.
    • Draw your linework (a composition or parts) on paper.
    • Scan your linework using the processes discussed in class. Use a flatbed scanner, if you don't have access to one you can use your phone. The results will not be as good.
    • Using the techniques discussed in class (or your preferred process) digitally color both drawings using Photoshop.
    • Upload your original scans AND your layered Photoshop source file to the Google Drive folder: svaMFAI_20211004-homework-medium-is-the-message-scan-color
