Op Art 1

I am not yet finished with my op art, but so far I think it looks all right.  The outer portion looks pretty bad right now, but I hope to fix it up so that it matches the inner portion.

Pop Art Sculpture

Although I did not have time to finish my pop art sculpture, I think it was going well and with some more work would have turned out nicely.  I was creating a market lamb which I would later paint in Japanese pop art inspired colors and patterns.  I don't hate paper mache quite as much as watercolor, but I'm not a huge fan either.

Watercolor

I learned one thing from this project:  I despise watercolors.  I think the middle shell turned out decently, but I wasn't pleased with the outcome of the others.  I think I like the look of the shading better before it is blended.  I think the matting looks nice, but next time I would make it more apparent what the background is depicting.  I'm not sure how I feel overall about this project.  Since my knowledge of watercolors is limited, I'm not sure if I just suck at using them or if they always look like that.  I think I just suck.  This project was a learning experience and taught me that professional watercolor painting is not in my future.

Character Skeleton

For my character skeleton drawing, I chose Perry and Ferb from Phineas and Ferb.  This project was a challenge but enjoyable as well.  If I did this project again, I would spend more time on the ribs and shoes.  Also, Perry's spine should have been farther over, so his ribcage and hip bones didn't match up like they should have.  I also would color the original drawing more flatly so that it better resembles the style of the characters.  I think I did well with the legs and feet.  Overall, I enjoyed this project and would consider doing something similar in the future.
