Drawing Techniques (week 8, 9, 10)

Week 8: Monday, August 26th 2013

Today I learnt something new... It's Adobe Illustrator!!! Sir Angga taught us how to trace the word "TIME" on TIME magazine cover. But before that he asked me about the concept of my TIME Magazine. So this is the fixed concept:



Then I was searching some inspirations for the rubik, headline, and the magazine cover



After that we learnt about how to trace the word TIME from TIME Magazine using Adobe Illustrator.


Week 9: monday, september 2nd 2013

Today was quiet not productive because i didn't bring the material. So today, i only  decide what materials needed and the picture of mine. For me, i think i am a cheerful person HAHA so i posed like a happy people. But sir angga helps me to edit my photo on adobe photoshop then print it. 

But the bad wifi was wasting my time!!!! Cause i have to send the edited pic to the library then print it but the file's size way to big (around 25-40mb each photo) so today i only print it without tracing the photo. :( :( 


Week 10: monday, september 9th 2013

Today i've changed my mind to change my photo into normal photo (not the rubik one). Because i think its way too complicated that may confusing people.

Materials needed:
• shell
• sand
• colourful flowers
• leaf

Why i choose that materials?? Because things there are my favourite things! Hehe i love flowers, beach, and nature. It also my dream to visit that kind of places. It also represent me, i am a relax person HE HE. Why i choose the bright colours? Because i thing i am a cheerful person, i love being happy, and my friend thinks that i always smiling.

First of all, i have to buy the materials.
This store the aquarium store, Tirta Kumala. Its located in Jl. Margoda Raya, Depok. This is a place that i was bought the shell and the sand:

@Rp. 5.000

Then i picked a bunch of frangipani flower in front of my house and some leafs on my grandma's house

Frangipani tree in front of my house (the right one)


Then i bought 3 kind of flowers (that also has the different colour) in Tebet near SMAN 26. 



HAHA at the first time, the Mas-Mas gave me a price @Rp. 15.000 but in the end after the "tawar menawar" process, i got @Rp. 10.000 ;-p so I only pay Rp. 30.000 for 3 bundles of flower

 ME WITH THE FLOWERSSSS ❤❤❤


The materials

Then i had some experiments with my nĂ¼ friendssss, they are:
• flowers

shells

• leaves

After having the experiments, i started to put the meterials on their position:

I use a2 paper because it's easier to make the poster on the big paper. I started to draw the sketch.



I decided to start making the flower part first, because it can be withered.


Tadaaaaa! HE HE done ;-) the next step is making my portrait by using the grid method. Wish me luck, will be posting soon!!!

Caricature

Monday, August 19th 2013

It's our first day after lebaran holiday. Well hello guys hope you enjoy your holiday :) :) 

minal aidin wal faizin, may Allah forgive our mistakes and we will be a better person,  Amin.

Today sir Angga asked us how is our project and ideas about our TIME Magazine cover. Well I have some ideas here is it:

Sir Angga loves my fourth idea. The rubik one. So I'll make my face on rubik but it not well structured. For example my eyes are on the bottom of the rubik and my nose is on the top of the rubik. It's my philosophy. Anyone who meet me at the first time won't know the real me. Only my nearest person who knows me so well and only some person who can solve my riddle. Like a rubik, only some person can solve it. If you're trying to solve rubik by learning and getting closer to the rubik, you will solve it. 

Another ideas

Then sir Angga said that I've make another option for the rubik (for homework) and search the materials, well i made this:


After that we were introduced with a new thing: CARICATURE!!!!

What is caricature?


We have to find the uniqueness of someone then we can make that part looks big. For example Tukul. Tukul's identity is on his mouth. So make it big. Then people can easily realized and say "that is Tukul!"

Some of tukul caricature on the internet:

Calendar Project

Thursday, August 22nd 2013

Ms Uma told us a new project!! The project is making a calendar!!!! We're asked to do some research on layouts and decide what is the theme for the calendar. But before that ms Uma asked us to critique and give some opinion about my friends alphabet poster and mine. So here's berta's and my poster:
Left to right: berta's and mine

My opinion:

After that we went to the library then take a look some books. After that, we copied some unique and nice layouts (inspiration for making a calendar).

Then we decide "primitive" as the theme of our calendar. Ms Uma asked us to make the mindmap (coloured), have some research on primitive , find 3 keywords, and sketches of primitive as the homework
