Week 3

 

 

 

CRAFT: This was crated with Adobe Illustrator and the Bamboo tablet and pen. The strokes were of 1pt and used the shades between black and white to emphasize its 3D form and volume under a lamp.

CONCEPT: This drawing is of a tea cup in  a nearly dark room lit under a lamp. This was the object I was represented with to draw first with the idea of volume.

COMPOSITION: The shading within the cup emphasized the different shades of light that hit the tea cup from the lamp it was underneath. One can make out the direction of the light source as my eyes go down towards the darkest part of the illustration that is at the bottom left.  

Week 2

CRAFT: This was created using Adobe illustrator and the bamboo drawing tablet. Its an image made of simple single strokes. I tried to keep the images within 100 strokes.
CONCEPT: The image above is that of a cylinder, round coffee pot. This was the first object I was assigned to draw in class.
COMPOSITION: My eyes immediately fall onto the top of the actual pot rather than the handle because of the proximity of the lines. My eyes move down before coming back up to land on the spout. The lines are slanted before finally following the arch of the handle.

Week 1

Karina Ramirez

I am a sophomore at SXU and I major in Graphic Design. I will be the first college graduate from my immediate family also. What I want to do with this major has yet to come to me, but I will hopefully learn and understand how I can make myself and others happy with my creativity.
