For the background setting, I sketched it using ink on paper. The color scheme for each sketch is grayscale. There is plenty on negative space in each sketch. The lines are cross hatched to add the shades. The characters are drawn in organic lines. The house is drawn in mechanical lines. This is the second part of the Mikado project based on William S.

I created these designs using ink on paper. First, I trace the characters carefully. Then I add more details to the characters. Finally, I did some additional information on them. The characters are drawn with organic lines. The color scheme is grayscale. Placing my characters at the center of each artwork help make the balance symmetrical. They also make room for negative spaces. The series, Mikado Concept Part 1 , showcases the characters and logo design to pay tribute to the Mikado, one of my favorite operas by William S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Each character is designed to match the character in the original libretto written by Gilbert. Nanki Poo, the hero, is portrayed as a prince disguised as a wandering musician. Yum Yum, the hero's lover, is seen as young and beautiful. Ko-Ko, the comic foil, is one of the main antagonists against Nanki Poo. Pooh Bah, Ko-Ko's servant, is seen as haughty and dignified. Katisha, another antagonist, is portra...

I visited the Art Institute of Chicago last Thursday. This artwork I saw caught my eye while I was visiting there. The artwork is called At the Moulin Rouge. It was made by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The medium for this artwork is Oil on canvas. It was painted from 1892 to 1895. It is 48 inches by 55 inches. One of the most recognizable features I noticed while looking at this painting was the arbitrary colors. The woman on the lower right is a great example when the arbitrary colors were used on her face. The table on the lower left have a wooden texture. The people were drawn in organic lines. There is a noticeable contrast from light to dark colors on the woman's face I mentioned earlier. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec painted At the Moulin Rouge to recount the activities going on at the Moulin Rouge. It's noticeable because Toulouse-Lautrec himself is in the painting. Looking at this painting, I was amazed to get a full glance of seeing this awesome looking paintin...

I made these series using ink, colored pencils and paper. First, I drew out the characters in the first and final drawings. Then I give them color for each background. In the second and third drawings, I drew wildly to make the drawings look very distorted. Then I drew out what happens in those scribbles. All of the drawings except the first drawing are colored in greyscale. The cross-hatching of lines in the fourth drawing are to represent the ground beneath the house. The characters are drawn with organic lines. The house in the fourth drawing is drawn with mechanical lines. The fifth drawing has a symmetrical balance in the background. The purpose of these drawings are to show how beautiful or how ugly each drawing is. The first drawing, I'm Bringing Back the Rainbow, Darling , shows a fellow wearing a beautiful coat in a beautiful, rainbow background. The second drawing, Out of Toon , shows an unidentified toon spinning beyond their control. The third draw...

I made these weekly drawings using ink on paper. First, I drew my avatar. Second, I added some monochrome colors to my character. Finally, I designed a random background. The colors for each drawing are monochromatic. My avatar is drawn with organic lines. The lines are cross-hatched to make a contrasting background. The balance for each background in the drawing is asymmetrical. There are also random shapes seen in the first drawing. My mini-series, The Randomness of the Yorkie Silky , features my avatar being depicted in the wackiest situations. In the first drawing, The Party Animal , Tony the Yorkie Silky is dancing as if he is drunk. The second drawing, Something's Not Right Here , features Tony with hands for feet and feet for hands. The third drawing, Okay, You've Had Your Fun , depicts a comical scene of the artist drawing only underpants for my avatar. The fourth drawing, Meowing Tony , features Tony as a cat. The last drawing, That's Far Enough! ...

I made these drawings with pen on paper. First, I went crazy with the scribbles. Second, I draw my avatar in the scribble-like scenery. Finally, I've added some more detail to the scenery. The color for these drawings is monochrome. The cross hatchings of the lines in each drawing are for making the objects darker in appearance. My avatar is drawn with organic lines. The village has a symmetrical balance since it is divided by the valley. The texture for the grass in the third drawing is soft. The purpose of this series of drawings, Adventures of Tony the Yorkie Silky , is to introduce the viewers to my avatar, Tony the Yorkie Silky. In the first drawing, My Life with the Monster , Tony is tormented by an evil entity, which represents my life of torment I have endured under my sister. The second drawing, What Lies Beyond the Beanstalk , can give the viewers a curious feeling of what happens once Tony climbs the beanstalk. The third drawing, Watchi...

This piece is made by Yvette Kaiser Smith. It was made in 2010. It was created with crotched fiberglass with polyester resin. It is 45'' x 48'' x 3''. The colors present in this piece are yellow, brown, black, and blue. The balance for this piece is symmetrical. The piece creates a shape to make a triangle and a square. In addition, if the piece creates a shape, the mechanical lines would have been present. There is also the contrast of dark colors with light colors as well. Yvette Kaiser Smith's piece, Pi in Pascal's Square, showcases the use of Pascal's triangle. The purpose of this piece is to amaze the viewer with the use of mathematics through art. Looking at this piece, I am surprised by how the artist would use mathematics to make art. Smith's piece also uses the colors of this piece to make a landscape as well.
