I actually enjoyed this assignment very much. As soon as I took my notes and did all of my iterations I had a pretty clear idea of where I wanted to go with it. I chose exploring a new planet because I thought you could get super creative with this idea. Flying you could only put a person in the air, and being chased most people would only blur the background. But exploring a new planet could go in so many different directions. I started off drawing hands and bodies and facial expressions just so I could get a feel for them because I’ve never drawn people before. Then I got into my actual drawings
For my first drawing I did it in the point of view of someone looking at a Wendy’s bag in the trashcans outside of Hayes. This is my favorite out of all my drawings. I did this as a way to say our planet has too much plastic. I for one am very environmentally friendly and I hate plastic. SO I figured, people from different planets would want to know what it was and why it’s polluting our Earth. I think I did a really nice job of shading the trash can and I’m proud of the drawing as a whole.
The second drawing I did was outside of Derby Hall, and instead of just the front of the building, I drew my subject looking in the window of it. This was my first time drawing a person and I think for the position they are in it overall looks really really nice. I drew this because I figured if someone was exploring a new planet, they’d look in all the windows they could to try ad figure out what’s going on around them. I also tried to draw this one at a canted angle to give it more of a confused and eery feel.
For my third drawing I drew someone laying on the bench outside Derby. I did this because I figured someone who was exploring a new planet wouldn’t know what the bench was for, maybe thought it was somewhere to sleep or something like that. I am less proud of this drawing and don’t think I shaded very well. Also, I couldn’t draw a good facial expression, so I kept the face blank as if you were too far away to see that about them.
For my fourth drawing, I drew someone meditating outside Thompson at the statue. I did this because I figured that someone on a new planet would see a statue and think it was a god. I am proud of this idea because I think it was my most creative, but I don’t think the drawing was executed very well. But the persons body proportions look right and everything so it’s all good.
Lastly I drew my treasure, a fake plant in Thompson. I was gonna draw the subject eating a planet because I figured they would think it’s some kind of food, but I could not draw a side profile at all so I ended up drawing a hand feeling the plant, because its shinier than most plants since it’s fake. I think the hand proportions are a little off but overall I think it looks pretty good. It could be shaded better though. Overall, I am pretty proud of my work, and I had fun thinking of all the ideas.
