You are to find or create two strong, contrasting texture references and combine them in a way that is interesting on a 10x10 panel. You must cover the entire panel. You are to do one panel in graphite and one panel in colored pencil using the SAME TEXTURES and SAME SETUP.
1. You must make sure that your textures are STRONG TEXUTRES. Even if you create your own texture YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME REFERENCE FROM WHICH TO BASE YOUR CREATION.
2. In order to have a strong texture you need to have a good sense of FORM and and good UNDERLYING PATTERN.
3. You must SHADE APPROPRIATELY (FIVE VALUES) which means IDENTIFYING THE LIGHT SOURCE AND RENDERING ACCORDINGLY.
4. YOU ARE NOT TO HAVE LARGE GAPS OR AREAS OF EMPTY SPACE.
5. When using color you will want to be careful about color selection and technique. Burnishing may not be the best idea for this. BUILD UP COLOR WORKING FROM GENERAL TO SPECIFIC. COLOR SHOULD ENHANCE THE ITEM NOT DETRACT…SO NO HOT PINKS OR NEON TYPE COLORS.
6. Make sure to do the process for setup and ideas if you are creating your own texture. STAY AWAY FROM SEVERE PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS OF TEXTURE.
7. BEWARE IMPROPER LINE USE.
The expectation was a minimum of 4 to 6 hours rendering each final panel in order to create a quality product, although skill level may have meant I needed to spend more. I spent a total of 4-5 hours rendering the final panel.
