Assignment
- Review the techniques and videos from class this week.
- On paper, create a brand new 6" by 6" drawing. Your prompt is "fall", any take on the subject of a fall. I want you to intentionally create a brand new drawing with the intent that you will be scanning it and digitally coloring it with Photoshop. The way you work will always inform how you work 😉.
- Draw your linework (a composition or parts) on paper.
- Scan your linework using the processes discussed in class. No phone photos this week.
- Using the techniques discussed in class, digitally color your shadow drawing using Photoshop.
- Pro tip! You should be able to color your drawing without using a log of blend modes. Use multiply only if you really need it.
- Upload your original scans AND your layered Photoshop source file to the Google Drive folder: Will be updated
