fundamentals week:
A still life: (an accident waiting to happen) or (white objects) <- the white objects one is tricky because nothing is realy white. Everything picks up reflected color.
Figurative Drawing: (focus on anitomical detail and accuracy.)
Color Theory: The same Illustration with 2 different color schemes that change the meaning, or mood of the piece.
Build the shot: Compose a scene from your favorate book, into a single illustration of how you would like to see it on screen. focus on lighting and composition. (Include a short reference from the book describing the scene.)
Shadow study: Use a single light source and multiple objects. arrange the objects so that they cast shadows over one another. The focus in this sketch is to show the difference between form shadows (a shadow that is soft and is on the “dark” side of the object. like the moon) and a Cast Shadow (a shadow that is sharp, and came “from” an object and is now laying cast accross another one.)
Drapery study: kinda self explanitory. Do a still life of a sheet hanging from something. or crumpled. Just give it interesting folds. For an advanced study use a model to wear the drapery. but emphisize the cloth, not the model.
Portraiture: It can be styalised, or realistic. Just emphisize a likeness of the model. (celebrities may be best, or include photos of models so we will know if they were successfull or not)
