For our rst assignment we had to make 5(100)
Stroke Drawings.
Craft: I used a bamboo touch pad and pen that I
borrowed from a friend, also I downloaded adobe
illustrator at home for ease of access, I used my
computer, and objects that can hold a liquid. I made
the drawings strictly out of horizontal and vertical lines
and i counted my strokes to make sure that they were
exactly 100 strokes.
Composition: I used Horizontal and vertical lines
because I wanted the viewer to see a 3 dimensional
object in a 2 dimensional eld without drawing the out
lines of the picture. I wanted to have them get a feel
for the outside of the objects almost like they were the
boundaries.

Color
This was a bottle that we had in class.
When I was working on this drawing I
was primarily working on the lip of the
bottle. If something didnt seem right, I
would continually go over it again.

Craft: The tools that I used to create thedrawings were a touch pad and pen, objects
found at home and Adobe Illustrator. In Adobe
Illustrator i used the paint brush, swatch tool,
adjusted the stroke (the thickness of the
line), and I used the color picker. In the rst
3 pictures I used different values of the same
color. In the last 3 pictures I used either 1
number of 1 letter for the whole picture.
Composition: I used the different shades
of the same color so i can make it look
like its a 3 dimensional object not just at
by using shadows. I used 1 letter or 1
number so I can make it feel as if there is
texture. Also I used the shadows on the
texture drawings as well. The shadows
represent where the light hits the object.

Number 5 Vessel
Out of the whole semester this is probably the
hardest thing that I had to do for the class.
We had to use one continuous stroke for the
whole picture. We used two different colors
for contrast. On the left page I used a back-ground made of 3s in different shades of
green. At rst I started with a thick stroke and
dark shade of green and as the more layers I
added on the thinner the brush stroke became
and the lighter the green became. This was
the same concept as the picture on the right
except i used 5s. I also used to same color
(green) as well. On the left picture I continued
with the 3s onto the bottle, except I used dif-
ferent shades of orange to represent the light
reecting off the bottle. The same went for the
picture on the left, but instead of orange and
instead of 3s I used yellow 5s.

Letter A Vessel
I nally decided to switch it up. I
used different colors and even used
a letter instead of a number. I chose
A because that is the rst letter of
my name. However, even though it is
different colors and I used a letter, the
process is the same. This picture is
actually an object that I used plenty of
times throughout the magazine. It is
a bucket that i have in my room that
is normally used to store pens. Forthis project I decided to take them
out. For the bucket, I used differ-
ent shades of blue. On the left side
it has a lighter shade of blue. The
reason why it is lighter on the lefts is
because the source of light was on
Page 11
the left side of the object. It is also
lighter on the right side becausethe bucket was in the corner of my
room along with the light. the light
therefore reected off of the wall
and left the middle-right side of the
bucket the darkest spot. It also
had a lip on the top of the bucket.
Right underneath the lip, there
was a really dark shadow. This
was due to the fact that the light
could not get past the lip. I tried to
show that with the dark small lay-ers of As near the top.

Craft: The program that I used to create this
was Adobe Illustrator. Using adobe illustra-
tor I placed a picture on the background and
locked it down. I created a new layer andstarted drawing on that layer. What I used
to draw or in other words trace, was the
pen tool. I rst started like I was building
myself from the back to the front. I started
with the back because then I could get the
basic shape down. I would create points
with the pen tool to trace the person out with
no color, then I used the eye dropper to try to
match the color the best it could. The more
shapes that I drew the more detail that there
was. After I got the shape that I like down,I then locked it in place and then made it
invisible. Since I have a programming back-
ground and like to keep things neat and easy
to read, I created many layers. For example,
I would create layers for just the shirt and
inside of the shirt I would have a layer just
for the sleeves. Having multiple layers also
made it easier to turn the shapes visibility on
and off.
Composition: I used these colors because Itried to make it as close to the picturea as I
could. I used the pen tool because I wanted
to make a tracing of a picture. The pen tool
is a great tool to use because you can zoom
in and out on the picture and get close to
the edge of the picture. I used many layers
because it allowed me to keep it organized,
especially with the amount of shapes I put
into it. The more shapes that are put in give
it a lot more detail to try to make it as accu-
rate as possible. Also with the more detailand the more layers, it makes the picture ap-
pear to be 3D, because that is how we see;
we see light reect off of objects at different
degrees and different objects which give it
different light and the shadows give it more
depth.

Craft: This is the same idea as last
week. I used Adobe Illustrator to lock
the picture in place and use the pen tool
to create shapes on top of the picture.
I also used the layers but i also used a
lot more shapes in this picture. If you
are trying to trace a picture use a pic-ture with A LOT of DATA. If you use a
picture that does not have very much
detail in it, you cannot zoom in very far
before the picture gets pixelated. When
I redid this picture I got the actual image
instead of the image off of Facebook. It
let me zoom in when I was tracing it to
get more detail and more color which
makes the image look more realistic.
Composition: I arranged the elementsthis way because i wanted to make the
picture appear as realistic as possible.
The rst thing I want the viewer to see is
the face to see how there is detail in the
teeth and the eyes and even the face.
Then I want them to move on to the shirt
and to notice that the shirt is not just one
color of blue. It is made up of multiple
shades of blue. There are shadows from
the rinkles in the shirt and there is also
a pocket which has an outline of a dif-
ferent shade of blue. and to also notice
that there is a white shirt underneath the
blue shirt. Also I want them to notice that
there are shadows. There are shadows
because that is how we see depth.

Variations:racing o Me
Craft: Using Adobe Illustrator I took the
picture that I already had created from
Week 5 and Week 6. I created a matrix
from the picture, going left to right the
picture is normal, monochromatic and
then extreme chromatic. From top tobottom the picture is normal, subtle brush
change, and extreme brush change. Us-
ing the three different combinations of
brush strokes and color changes I made
a matrix of pictures. To change the colors
the rst thing I did was made sure all of the
layers I wanted to change were VISIBLE
AND UNLOCKED, then I selected all the
lines and shapes. If they are not visible or
unlocked they will not be selected and willnot be able to change the element. I used
the color guide and edit colors. Under
edit colors there was an option for mono-
chromatic. For the extreme chromatic the
-
8/2/2019 Last Call for Bottles

or blue, it created an almost cold or dark
feeling which was not what I was trying
to get across. When I chose the color
group I chose an antique style which
ended up turning like a cowboy or a
western style. The brushes did not turnout so well, since there were so many
small shapes it kinda of blurred the im-
age. Since the brushes literally crashed
the program, I was not able to do very
much with the brush stroke.
rst thing I did
was change the
color group in thecolor guide win-
dow. Then I went
in and edited the
colors. To change
the brush stroke,
I opened up the
brushes win-
dow. I just picked
what I considered
a subtle brush
change and alsoan extreme brush
change. This was
extremely difcult
for the computer. Since there were so
many shapes and lines in the picture, it
was a big le and needed a lot of pro-
cessing power. However, Im pretty sure
we pushed the program to its limits.
Composition: The assignment was to cre-
ate a matrix of changes in chromatic and
changes in brush stroke, so this is mostly
why I set it up this way. However for the
middle pictures I chose red because it
seemed to t the picture. When I tested it
out with many other colors such as green

Te Start o Bro. Vito Martinez OFM Cap.s work
Surprisingly this pictures has come up in
conversation with vito. He claims that it is
his Dr. Pepper that he drinks while he is
doing his homework. The actual drawing is
made by 100 lines. It was the begginning of
the semester and we had to get used to us-
ing the pen and the tablet. After a while weall slowly got the hang of it. In this picture
he used curved horizontal lines for the most
part. This technique makes it clear that this
can is 3-D and that he is trying to portray it
as being round, not at.

Coee Cup
Vertical Lines
This picture is similar to the Dr. Pepper can,
meaning that Vito used 100 lines with a 1 pt
stroke. However, This picture is made with
purely vertical lines. Which makes it when
you look at the coffee cup it makes it have a
different feel to it.
The coffee cup sketch allowed me to work
on my vertical stroke...something I already
recognize as a weakness. I actually drew
this image 3 times...this is the drawing I
chose to keep.

3-Candle Holder
The rst lesson of the class focused
on getting to be comfortable using a
graphic tablet for drawing. The assignment
was simple: make 5 sketches using exactly
100 strokes in each drawing. The drawings
should use long, lling strokes instead of
outlining the object.
All images were done using Adobe Illustrator
on my MacBook Pro. To become more fa-
miliar with this skill, I bought an inexpensive
WACOM graphic tablet to outside of class.
The top drawing is of a 3-stemmed candle
holder. I used this image as the thumbnail
because I felt the most comfortable drawing
this object. Using a graphic tablet takes prac-
tice, and this image felt uid. The drawing uses
both vertical and horizontal lines to represent
the rectangular edges on the base. A 2pt brush
was used.

Single Candle Holder
Hexagonal Vase
The hexagonal vase proved to be a tough
image to draw for two reasons. First, it
used vertical strokes exclusively. Second,
the shape of the object presented some
issues Id not foreseen...issues in the
fact that I am not a artist and I could not
sufciently render the dimensions of theobject. In its defense, the vertical strokes
felt more uid in this drawing.

This is where we get introduced to value
drawings, and here is vitos attempt at
using different shades of the same color. He
used a range from gray to white. The purpose
of doing this is because human beings see
with objects by perceiving light. The different
reection of light gives us different colors and
also depth. The different shades of the color
forces your eyes to go in different places.
I used a ceramic mug with the light almost di-
rectly above the object and slightly to the right.
It sat on a slightly reective surface which
produced different shadowing effects. Theobject was rendered with a 2pt brush, then a 5
pt brush was used to cover the extra negative
space. A small 1pt brush was used to render
the thin shadow lines. The ceramic salt shak-
ers octagonal shape created a unique series
of shadows that proved challenging to render.
A 2pt brush was used to render the object. The
light source was a lamp without the shade 45
degrees above and right of the object. Finally
the bottom right, the expresso cup. This ob-
ject was unique for two reasons: I used a 1pt
brush to render the drawing, and I positioned
the cup in such a way that I looked down on
the vessel. I regular lamp was used for the
light. A 1pt brush left a lot of negative space
as I drew, so I used fast, vigorous strokes to
draw the lines.

Vitos Value Drawings
For week three of our Computer Graphics
class, we were given two different tasks.
The rst was to make three drawings using
values of color to render an image. The sec-
ond task was to move away from line strokes
and use a letter or number to create an image.
All images were made using Adobe Illustrator
and a Bamboo graphic tablet. All images were
completed on my Mac Book Pro.
This piece was a rendering of a bottle of
laundry detergent. The image was constructed
with thick, horizontal lines to quickly dene
the boundaries of the object. Five different
hues were used to represent the visual effect
of lighting on the object. This piece uses a
variety of different lines. The main body of the
work was drawn with a thick brush, giving the
appearance of a smooth plastic surface. Small
lines, both vertical and horizontal, were used to
represent the highlights on the bottle. Smooth,
thin lines represent the screw-off lid. Combined
with different hues, this give the appearance of
a clear, plastic surface.

This is a wine bottle. A small brush was exclu-
sively used, using both horizontal and vertical
lines. The size of the brush shows the lines as
well as the negative space, giving the appear-
ance of a wire or wicker construction. A black
box lies behind half of the image. The box
draws the eyes of the view through its con-
trast to the white, as well as emphasizing the
blue of the bottle.

I met Vito in a Computer Science class last
semester. I have really gotten to know Vito and
the type of work that he does. As you can see
in these pictures Vito puts more than enough
effort in everything that he does, whether it is a
website or drawing pictures on the magazine or
even the magazine that he made.

As you can see, Mike Ward loves
cars. He created this picture similarto the way I created the picture of
myself. He used Adobe Illustrator to
rst place a picture on to the canvas.
After the pictures is in place it can be
locked down without moving. After
that, it comes down to how much work
you want to put into the picture. It de-
pends on the work because the per-
son creating the picture creates each
shape of the different images and
pictures that they see. It is created by
zooming in and out multiple times. I
chose to put this picture in my maga-
zine because I have seen the original
picture and how realistic it actually
looks. He uses a tremendous amount
of detail to emphasize the curves on
the car. The different shades of the
color orange shows that it is actually a
three-dimensional object. Even going
to the rims, they actually look like theyare made out of crome, even though
I know that it is made by him zooming in and
out while tracing many shapes and setting
them as different colors. What I nd fascinat-
ing about this picture is that this is really not
the true background. This car is actually on
a show oor. He basically free handed the
background to make it look as if it really was
on a race track.

When I went to the art
museum there was one
painting that stood out
to me and that I con-
sider the masterpiece,
A Sunday on La Grande
Jatte. This picture stood
out to me because of theconcept. When you are
far away from the picture
you see the objects in it
clearly, however when
you get closer the objects
become less clear. That
is because the picture
is made up of small
horizontal brush strokes
and dots which is now
referred to as pointillism.
In a way this picture reminds
me a lot of Adobe Illustrator
and the things that we did this
semester. The rst thing that
we did this semester was draw
objects with horizontal lines, and then we
did the tracing picture, obviously he didnt
trace this picture, but in reference to how
we view the painting reminds me of the
tracing painting we did. When you arefar away everything is clear and when we
had to add small shapes and objects we
zoomed in, where it became less clear,
which is exactly why it reminds me of
adobe illustrator. Looking at the picture it
makes you really think about it, in a way it
has an enormous amount of detail but in
the exact same way it has no detail at all.
It has detail because it has all the people,
Proo Tat I went to the Museum
the shape of the people are seen perfectly, he
has trees in the picture and even shadows.
However, one thing is something that I notice
right away, the eyes do not have detail or just
not even there. Which I feel is if I were therewhen this painting was being painted, would
be almost the way I would see the people as
well. Looking anywhere, the rst thing you
would see in a person would be their body;
the shape of their body and the colors of not
only their cloths but their skin as well. Which
maybe this was exactly how he visualized it,
which is brilliant in its own way.
