Lineart
What are 3 thicknesses for lineart?
Thin, Medium, Thick, and Lineless
What are the basic 2D shapes we use to structure our sketches?
circle (ellipse), rectangle (square included), and triangle
What is a gradient?
A scale from light to dark values
What is a monochromatic color palette?
A true hue and all its tints and shades
What is Kilroy's appropriate?
Family friendly material: no violence, no bad language, and no inappropriate jokes, talk, or drawings
Name the 3 most common types of hatching
scumbling, stippling, and cross hatching (hatching)
what are 3 of the 3D forms we use to create structure in a sketch?
Prisms/cylinder, cone/pyramid, sphere, and cube
What are tints and shades? Name a tint and a shade of red
Tints are lighter than the true hue
Shades are darker than the true hue
Red: Pink is a tint, Maroon is a shade
Name all the complimentary color palettes using the main 6 colors on the wheel
Green-Red
Blue-Orange
Purple-Yellow
What are pens, pencils, brushes, rulers, and erasers not good for?
anything not art related to the project
throwing, sword fighting, eating, painting/drawing on each other, etc
Confident lines are clean, quick, long, and sweeping
Unconfident lines are short, hairy, shaky, and scared
What is a prism?
A 3D form with 2 faces that are the same 2D shape (ie square) and long rectangular faces connecting the 2 shape faces
What is subtractive art?
Removing value rather than adding it
What is an analogous palette? Make 1
Analogous palettes are 3 colors right next to each other on the color wheel
examples:
Red, Orange, and Yellow
Red, Blood Orange, and Orange
Red, Red Orange, and Orange Red
What are each of these steps and the order of them?
Sketch, color, thumbnails, lineart, shading
Thumbnails: small quick sketches to get ideas out that are numbered and have descriptions
sketch: the first pass of the final, a more refined version of a thumbnail
lineart: using confident lines and a fine liner beautifying and perfecting the sketch
color: adding a chosen color palette
shading: adding depth through value variation
How do you make your lineart more fluid and add depth/shade without using value variation or hatching?
Use dynamic line art (and place the thickest part opposite of the light source for the effect of shading)
What are the basic shapes used to form a front facing head?
Cranium: circle/sphere, cheeks to jaw: rectangle/prism, chin: triangle/pyramid
Why do values matter?
value provides contrast that makes art more interesting, focuses the viewers on important aspects of the art, and makes the art more realistic/believable
What is a tertiary palette? Make 2 of them
Tertiary palettes are 3 colors equally spaced from each other on the color wheel
Red, Yellow, and Blue
Purple, Green, and Orange
Demonstrate how to properly use brushes
Not jamming the brush into the plate/paint
drawing with the bristles, not against
squid technique
What is a tangent?
2 elements that are barely touching
ie. a circle directly sitting on a straight line
Draw 6 3D shapes in proportion to sketch a single subject in 5 minutes
Cube, Prisms (with different face shapes), Sphere, Cone, Pyramid, and Cylinder
human, animal, floating platform, nature, etc
Name 2 ways to make a value gradient?
hatching from light to dark
pencil weight/pressure
laying a dark watercolor pigment down and adding water and you pull it
What is RGB vs CMYK vs RYB and what are each of their purposes?
RGB: Red, Green, and Blue is for screen/digital creation
CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black is for print creation
RYB: Red, Yellow, Blue are primary colors and the only colors that cant be created but create all other colors when mixing traditional materials
List the entire watercolor clean up process
Dump your clean and dirty water cups and rinse quickly
wash the brush using a small amount of soap in your palm and carefully brushing back and forth, test by wiping it on a paper towel
washout your mixing lid/tray, maybe using a little soap
use a damp paper towel to wipe out any pigment that doesn't belong in the watercolor cakes or on the rim around colors (ie. wipe any blue out of the orange cake)
