Weeklyblog W4 3/3 Contrast.

Contrast is beauty. Beauty is contrast. Without contrast nothing would be. Without the contrast of ugly and beauty. Neater would be.

Personal I prefer contrast in color. Especially when one color jsut seems to leap off the page and try and tackle you. But contrast in style and wold are equally beautiful. Say for instance there was a land or sharp corners and points and there was a figure or character with round lovely curves. The contrast would be beautiful. I love contrast. Contrast is art.

Weeklyblog W4 3/2 Turtle Type.

This picture is nt as elaborate as my previous post; I feel sort of bad not positing something of even greater quality. However this is just as important. Rather than improving my sketching skills I am improving my conception skills; In this field concept is more important than ability. 

About the picture- I've seen several type pictures and animals. I thaughtt about doing one of those pictures myself. The result was a a turtle.

Now that I am really thinking aobut the concept as I type I feel like changing it and tweaking it even more. In a radical way. Any firther discusion on this picture would be pointless as everything is about to change.

Times Change.

Weeklyblog W4 3/1 Surrealist Animation

Gravity's is Just a Theory 2 (first window) by Ogvidius

This flash animation is a great peak into a surrealist world. One where our logic is useless. However patterns exist. The Animator said himself that this piece is not made to make seance but rather to  be a world unlike our own. However we can make advanced articulate observations abut this piece even though no coloration was meant to be drawn between the 2 worlds they do exist in some manor. But what does this say about art in general? I believe that it says that art or rather the meaning of art is in the eye of the beholder. Art only exist in one persons eyes in their own particular way. That is what i found inspiring about this animation. Not the animation it self but the statement and meaning i derived form it.

Weeklyblog W4 3/3 Logo Contests

 Logo Contests
There is no better way to improve your skills than by competing with others of greater skill. I intend to improve my log making skills and typography skills by competing against others over the internet with prizes of several hundred dollars. I will also improve the quality of my ideas by thinking about logos.
I cant wait to dive in.

Weeklyblog W4 3/2 Improve your skills.

 

I was informed that the best way to improve your Drawing skills is to draw from life. I have and am doing so. I chose a extremely detailed action figure to draw because it IS detailed. This would present more of a challenge to me than doing something like a soda can or a ipod. Those would have been easeier, true, however you lean nothing by taking the easy road and you lean everything by taking the hard road.
The first picture is my attempt to draw the "hunter(halo3)" and the 2nd picture is as close to the perspective I could get to the drawing.
I am fairly happy with the results. However I will move onto bigger and better things.
