this is my final composition. through this project, I learned how to mix and match between the lighter and the darker color along with resizing images. I also learned how to select and color area with similar color. In this composition, I’ve found the cleanup and coloring selected area to be the hardest but now I can do it easily.
Blue is my favorite color because it’s the most pleasing to me. It also makes me feel calm. I also like it because I associate the color blue with the winter and that is my favorite season. Many people have found that blue is the color that makes them feel secure, peaceful, and orderly. Not only does it make them feel peaceful, but it also makes people more productive. The color blue is the worlds favorite color because of the peaceful nature attached behind it, for example lakes, oceans, waterfalls, and because the color makes people feel secure. Although the color blue is the worlds most favorite color it is the worlds least appetizing color. According to dunnedwards.com people started, “making blue pigments…About 6,000 years ago, humans began to develop blue colorants, Lapis, a semiprecious stone mined in Afghanistan, became highly prized by the Egyptians”. Many people adored the color blue back then and still do today.
2. GrayScale from scraps
The areas of emphasis in my photo is going to reflect the mood, anger though the eyebrows, nose, eyes and mouth. The eyebrows and mouth is what most shows anger when they are squinch up towards the middle of your eyes. The focal point is the eyes since they direct the viewer to a direction of the photo. My photo is looking towards the viewer, so that means the eyes gives off tension.
This is the original selfie I took for this project. The mood I choose after taking the picture is anger.
Pattern Case Study:
I felt an ornamental and retro mood from the pattern. Therefore I started studying Ornamental lines. Drawing different ornamental lines of several widths allowed me to create a pattern to work with and guide me while I was working on the bigger picture.
For this line pattern, I selected a theme which was the “Fleur-de-lys”. The fleur is very representative of the ornamental designs and found it a perfect inspiration for this design. I based the darker colors of the composition just by the thickness of the pens and not by repetition and filling the space.
Pattern Line drawing with ornamental and retro lines. Repetition and thickness allowed me to make the darker spaces seem denser and fuller.
4 pencil sketches trying to figure out how to set a  mood with lines
First ink compositions. Later I realized outlines weren’t necessary. I was searching for lines that would set the tranquil and ornamental mood I set for both pictures.
