Amanda's Super Fantastic Drawing of Delicious Candy

The color scheme I used for this drawing was a split complementary using purple, orange, and green. The "broken color" technique was used in my piece by layering on different colors as shown in the gum ball in the lower right corner. I made the gum ball green and then added light orange dots on top to make the broken color.

The best part of my image is the candies with the dots of color on them. They show texture, value change, and the "broken color" technique. The candy in the top right corner is very strong too. It has contrasting colors and is mellow. The candy had dots of sugar on top of it and the dots of color show that texture.

I would name my work "Colorful Chaos" because the colors I used some vibrant colors in the drawing that really pop out and get your attention. There are many shapes on the page that overlap and are shaped in a way that they lead your eye around the drawing. There are lots of places for you to look in the drawing and there is lots going on.

Jen's Colorful Candy :)

The color scheme was red, blue-green, and yellow-green. I used the broken color technique in my piece  by the background, lollipop, tootsie roll, and gummy worm. I layered up all shades of reds, blues, and greens in the lollipop. The worm has different orange-ish colors and some blue-greens. The tootsie roll has layers of reds and greens. 

I think the best part of my work is the background, lollipop, and gummy worm. The background has a lot of color in it. For the lighter part of the background, I made a brush that makes multiple dots. For the darker part of the background I used a normal brush and made the dots myself. 

I would name this piece The Land of Color. 

Cecilys Fabulous Masterpiece!

I would name my work CANDY LAND
My color scheme was violet, yellow green, and yellow orange. I used the "broken color" technique in my work by the background mostly. I used a dotted brush and used different values of greens and purples to create a broken color technique.
I believe the best part of my image/masterpiece would have to be my yellow jawbreaker in the bottom left corner. I believe this because you can see a good glare and it has good colors used for the roundness of the candy. Plus the brush I used for the rapper around it looks very good.

DRAWING EYES

The window to the soul? Yep, the eyes are the most important part of any portrait. Let's get into the structure, form and anatomy of eyes and the surrounding face.

Use mirrors, "photobooth" and photoshop to create five sketches of eyes from observation. Look to draw their SHAPE, SHADING, and PROPORTIONS.

Here's one sample image that I was working on in Photoshop.

 

Here are some reference photos for the anatomy of the head and eye...

look how the eye socket is shaped..

DEGAS' use of "Broken Color"

Another master of color in drawing, Edgar Degas used pastels on these images of dancers and women.
Look how he has LAYERED up the colors to make a shimmering quality.

Consider copying his mark making techniques... lines, cross hatch, dots, and other layering techniques...
