Planning

Today I am planning out where I will put everything on my tri-fold board. Since this is the second to last Friday of 20% Time for us, I need to start finishing things up. I will put each drawing on the outside flaps of the tri-fold board. On the middle part, I will have my title and my name. I will also write things about why I chose to do this project and why I like it. We'll see how it turns out!

Not Much Today

Today I don't have much to do, I am checking the drawings to see if they're as high quality as I want them to be when I finish. My biggest successes in this project are how the drawings look. they loom amazing to me. If I could go back in time and change something in this project, it would be to get my tri-fold board faster so i could have more time to design it.

6. Flounder from The Little Mermaid

Today I drew Flounder. It was looking great and then I leaned back and realized the forehead was the size of China. I had already shaded in the eyes, too. So I was forced to erase the eyes and move them up and make them bigger. It looks fine now, but there are eraser marks visible...

5. Snoopy from Charlie Brown

Snoopy looks good, but he can't look really that good because he's so simple.He doesn't have much detail except for his three fingers, tail, and shaded ears and nose. I drew some sunglasses on him and i think they're pretty great. This sketch connects to my past because as a kid  my parents would put on Charlie Brown's Christmas and Thanksgiving on the TV all the time. I loved the show.

4. Pluto from Mickey Mouse

I drew Pluto today and the drawing is amazing. It's probably one of my best sketches of all time. I love looking at it. He looks so much like the real things its almost as if he actually is animated. Even though this drawing looks great, I have also  had some difficulties during this project. Sometimes its hard to make something look like how I pictured it in my head. I might have to erase one part and restart several times before I get it how I want it. It gets pretty frustrating.

3. Deadpool

I drew Deadpool today. He doesn't look as good as the others because I had to rush on him a little. Even though Deadpool looks a little scrappy, I have had success in this project with how most of the characters look. This project is exciting for me because I can't wait to see what the characters look like once they are finished.

2. Mater from Cars

I just drew my second character, Mater, from Cars. He looks great to me. The wires on the back of the towing part loom great and i thought I did his eyes pretty good. The skills I have had to learn how to use during this project are making the pictures very detailed. They look really great when they're detailed, but not as good when not detailed.
