Contour Shoe Drawing

Contour Shoe Drawing
     The contour shoe drawing was hard to get the hang of at first, then it got easier.  When drawing a shoe, the contour strategy is better for the outline but a little hard to get the details inside.  However, I think it made my shoe look more whole.  My first couple sketches were very... interesting.  After a while the lines started to flow better instead of being wavy.  This Samba shoe, was a good project for the contour line drawing.

iPad Value Study

     I really like using the iPad's for art because it creates a very different effect than drawing it on paper. With the value study assignment, it was a bit harder to blend the colors together.  However, I was able to choose from a huge selection of colors you wouldn't be able to use with oil pastels.  In my opinion, it's easier to draw cool scenery on the Layers Pro app, but a lot easier to draw specific objects and colors by hand.  I learned that iPads are important to making art.
