Introduction by Anthony Rigoni






When I grow up, I would like to be an illustrator. If I were to be an illustrator, I would like to create artwork for books, animated films and character designs for video games. I use GIMP, which is an art program I use to make illustrations as well as character references for my own characters.

Adventures of Tony the Yorkie Silky

Image
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...

2D Week 1: Project 1 Progression

Image
For this composition, I chose circles as my shapes. After I drew the circles with my pencil, I used scissors to cut out the circles. I then used a glue stick to stick the circles onto my Bristol paper. The composition is called A Stream of Bubbles . The direction of the bubbles is diagonal. There are negative spaces surround the bubbles. I chose this technique to give the viewer an impression to imagine themselves underwater. What I was going for in this piece is to have the circles represent water in order to make the viewer feel like they are breathing underwater. I repeated the same technique I used for my first composition using the pencil, scissors, Bristol paper, and glue stick. I also used a ruler to measure the shapes to make sure they are the exact same size. This time, the shapes are pentagons, circles, squares, octagons, and triangles. There is a symmetrical balance on the left and right sides of the composition. The composition is called At the Ballgame . I chose ...
