critique questions
1. I chose stippling as my pen and ink teqnique for shading. I chose this one because I liked the way I could make the shades of color shift from one to another.
2. I used five point perspective to make it appear that the ship was moving fast and I used one point perspective in the ship to make it look realistic and show that the person or the location of the view was not moving.
3. Texture was not as important as it would be in other pices this is because all my surfaces were flat and smooth. I tried to use as much texture as I could but it was very difficult. I tired to make it look like the texture was like circuit boards more than any thing else.
4. value is very important because it shows which side of the portal is facing the sun and helps define its edges. Without it I'm pretty sure it would all flow together.
5. I think the piece is very well crafted. I worked very hard planning out where everything would go in my schetches and making sure it would look good. I also made sure to use a ruler for lines and thought out exactly where the shading should be.
6. If I had to recreate my piece I most likely would shade all of the space black instead of leaving it white. I didn't do this is my piece because I wanted to be able and show the stars and the outline of the ship.
7. I created a story of a futuristic space scene where mankind has gone to the stars and are far more advanced than we are today. I represented this by showing the planets in the background and part of one in the portal.
8. I think the concepts we learned in class were essential to make sure the shading looked as real as possible. Without them i am very sure my piece would have turned out very differently and not as nice.
9. I have learned how to make 5 point and 3 point perspective. I also learned how to shade with pen. This will allow me to better make pieces in pen that will be better shaded and also have a more realistic look.
