I think it's time to move onto another image for now. I just sketched this up in class today. Again, this is the backbone for the project. I decided to show the numbers here because I label each shape and create custom selections for each one so that I can tweak them independently without worrying about affecting other areas. This was done with the previous image as well.

ok, cropped so that 3 sides of the "object" are touching the edges. also, a slight reduction in saturation from the previous version. as far as the contrast suggestion goes, I honestly think that the contrast is ok, and the subtle changes in value between triangles (especially at the bottom) help to create a gradation.

here's an altered version with a little more "depth." i've gone ahead and applied a crop as well. i think it's getting closer to being done for real.

Alright, here are a few variations of the original image. I'm really liking the reduced saturation version of the lower color scheme (bottom right). Thanks again for the feedback!

Just in case anyone was wondering what it would like like cropped a little.....Let me know which one looks better.

I would like to consider this image finished. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Please read the previous post for more information about the start of this image.

I decided to give myself some time to think about my major before I made the final decision. So after giving myself the entire summer, I have decided to stick with computer instead of printmaking. More of what I like to do is on the computer, although I enjoy physical interaction with my artwork rather than just a digital one. I feel like I finished the last semester very strongly, and will continue to explore this geometric, process-based artwork. As most of you know, I have been sketching on paper, scanning the image in, and then coloring that image in digitally on the computer for nearly every project since I started taking this course. You can tell that this is a process that I enjoy, and, if implemented correctly, can allow for some very interesting images. So here is my first image for this semester. When I walked into class earlier this week, I happened to spot a piece of canvas that had been thrown away. So I pulled it out, and decided to try drawing on it (because maybe it would be a nice change of texture from drawing paper). The attached image is the backbone to the final project. This is a freehand sketch (no tools involved, no measuring like the images posted below, just to change it up a bit). I will continue to post these initial sketches just so everyone can see the transformation from physical to digital.
