Drawing for Illustration Final Project

Drawing for Illustration Final Project


Concept: Create a detailed drawing with 2 figures in a background from multiple reference materials.

Rules for project:
-The figures need to believably be in the space they are occupying
-You can have one figure in foreground and another in background
-use reference in folders as last possible option, try to use reference you take with your own camera at home.
-Remember to use lamps and lighting to create interesting imagery.
-for the background use reference from your own stockpile of photos or from online resources, but do not take a photo from the internet only, your image must have multiple references. 
-make sure to match up the perspective from figures and background so that they all match and the space is believable.
- create a story in the image, create a relationship between figure and an object or other person in the image. The story can be a moment of reflection or an idea, use props ( coffee cup, costumes, chair, book  etc...) to help build your story.
- use controlled even marks to create rendering( no scratchy lines unless the texture of the object is best described that way.)
-Render hair as shape
-Allow figure to blend into or come out of the background by using value control

Grading
Grading for project will rely on students ability to display an understanding of anatomy, perspective, detail of hands and face, cloth and folds, creating space around the figure and lighting, ability to use drawing to tell a story. 



Final Review

Will take place Monday May 4th between 9 and 12. Each student will have 10 minutes. The reviews will be 10 minute slots.

For review your portfolio of images should be loaded onto your folder on Drive, and should include:
-Final Drawing
-1 portrait from class or homework
-9 other pieces of drawing from class that show understanding of principles from class, anatomy, gesture, rendering, structure etc.
- bring sketchbook of 100 hands to show( don't bother scanning just hold up to zoom camera)

Have a great summer, I hope I will see you in person this fall!
