Compared to the last phase, phase 3 was just like phase 2. This is because both at first were complicated to understand but after understanding how and what to do they got simpler. Also this phase was similar to the last one because we had to choose an ambiguous and stable piece of work and transfer it to a Bristol board.
The piece to the left took approx 2-3 hours to finish and the piece to the right took about 5-6 hours.
Stable figure took 30 minus to finish, and ambiguous figure took 60 minus to finish, overall it took an hour and half to finish.
In this phase, the project compare to previous one. I used more time to finishing it, and I also changed some small detail. However, you can still easily figure out which one is stable and which one is ambiguous. One thing, this phase is better than the previous one is that the dark space is more completely and filled than the previous phase.
The Stable composition took 10 minutes, The Ambiguous composition took 50 minutes, in total took an hour.
This phase of the project relates to the previous phases. They both have same color, structure, and composition. The only difference is they create by using different tools. The one before was using brushesand this one is made of black paper cut.
The stable design took about 25 minutes while the ambiguous design took about 35 minutes.
This phase is related to the last phase in that we use the same designs from the last phase but we have to choose 1 of the best from our 2 ambiguous and 1 from our 2 stable designs. The only difference between them being that they are both made by different means. The phase 2 designs were inked while the phase three designs are made out of black paper. which gives us a different perspective into making these different designs.
The stable cut out which is on the right took 5 hours to complete. The ambiguous cut out which is on the left took 6 hours to complete. In total the cut outs took 11 hours to do.
This phase of the project relates to the previous phase by having the same figure it’s just in a different medium. The previous phase were inked sketches while in the picture above it’s cut outs. Through both mediums you can still guess which portrait is stable or ambiguous. The portrait on the right has the figure in the middle and at the bottom which makes the figure surrounded by the negative space. With so much white being around the black there’s a sense of lightness and focus on that particular figure. The portrait on the left has multiple figures that cover each corner. Although they are separated the figure in the middle makes everything feel united as a whole.
Each took about 20 minutes a piece
Stable:
Ambiguous:
This phase of the project relates to the previous phases because in the previous phases we sketch our artifacts in an interesting way. Then we chose four and ink them. In this phase we chose two of the inked compositions and transform them into paper. Therefore the previous phases led to out final product.
Cut Paper Compositions
The Stable composition took 20 minutes, The Ambiguous composition took 30 minutes, in total (including drawing the rectangles) took an hour.

As I was inking my two ambiguous and two stable, it was scary tracing the organic and geometrical shapes since ink is not something you an erase. I do not have a steady hand but tracing with ink pen .02 made it easier for me. It was also hard for me to ink in the shapes with the brush because it was too big for some corners and edges, I was afraid to ink outside the lines. This whole process took me about 3 and a half hours.
Each inked illustration consisted of about 30 minutes each, 2 hours over all work time.
