Create a Line Ink Drawing for your Final Composition

• Decide on your strongest concept sketch from the two you created. This will be your final composition for the Ice Cream packaging.
• Do any additional tweaks to your concept sketch based on feedback and suggestions you received in class. Finalize the pencil drawing.
• Use a lightbox, graphite transfer paper, or retrace your drawing onto the Bristol paper by using a window.
• Focus on using line. Think lines or thick lines. Loose, curvey lines vs angular lines. Short lines vs long lines.
• Test out your different materials. Try using a micron pen, brush pen, dip pen, or brush with ink. Combine a few or just use on medium. See what works for you.
• Create at least two different line drawing versions and experiment with at least two types of media.
• For at least one of the compositions you should focus on value.
• Place the finals in the template

DUE NEXT WEEK:

• Openlab, Student Posts> Works in Progress, Week 4.
  Describe what materials you used for each drawing.

Concept Sketches

• Decide on your top thumbnail sketch.
  • Choose based on feedback you received from your Art Director (In this case your Profeesor) and your peers, as well as your own passion and design sense.

• Research additional reference images needed to fully realize the concept. Create a mini mood board.
• Sketch at least 2 Concept Sketches full size, not thumbnail size.

EXAMPLES:

Compare in these examples the Approved Thumbnail sketch and the corresponding Concept Sketch. Consider where changes were made.
