iPad Value Study

This week, we had to shade forms on our iPads.  I think that I was able to improve on my shading with the sphere and cube on this, because I've been drawing on my iPad for a while now and I'm pretty used to it. I'm fairly proud of how well I shaded the cone on this, but the smudge brush on the app is really annoying, and by far not the best way to get things done, though it is effective.

Cartoon Skeleton

For my cartoon skeleton, I decided to use Ariel as my character. The reference picture I used was a more realistic drawing I found on DeviantArt. I had a fun time trying this out, and I liked drawing a mermaid because continuing vertebrae instead of creating legs was much easier. The easiest parts were the ribs and shoulder blades. I struggled in doing the thin sort of cartilage in the tail and the bones in the hand, because the picture was so small and detail is difficult at that scale. Overall, I had fun doing this and I felt it was a good introduction to the class. I hope I was able to portray Ariel well!
