Chess Piece


Chess Piece Drawing


My chess piece is realistic because of how I used proportion to show the actual size of the chess piece and how it also looks life like by the way i made the value look the exact same way as it was when I was drawing it.
 I also showed pattern by the way I repeated the four chess pieces and the circled lines that go around them, movement by the way I lined up the chess pieces to be side by side and also by the way their diagonal from each other and also how I made the two lines lead up to the chess pieces and finally rhythm by the way I showed contrast in the background by how the shaded value is shown in the circles and how it leads up to the chess pieces to show that they are connected and how they go together.
I drew my art with a very wide range of value shown in the chess piece itself and the background by the way the circles go from light to dark from the top being light and the bottom being dark and also in the chess piece how the light fell on it is represented by the darks and lights.
I used the rule of thirds when i was making my art by the way I put the focal point in the top left square instead of the centre to let the viewers eyes move around the paper to the circles and lines leading up to the four chess pieces.
The background also helps with the focal point because the circles and lines are all leading up to the center of the four chess pieces to create interest in the art and also by the negative space in-between.

Logo





Logo Assignment


For the logo assignment I chose a red fox because it represents me the best. The first point being that they are good listeners. I am a good listener because I pay attention and keep eye contact to engage the person into conversation. This helps me with being a good listener because it makes me a more sociable person. I’m also very adaptable like the red fox and can easily be comfortable in a new environment; this helps me because if I have to go somewhere new I can easily be comfortable and make do with what I have. The red fox is also very cunning, persistent and beautiful which I also am; W5 made a documentary about jobs and looks that showed a middle aged man and women going for a job interview with more skills then necessary and a young attractive female and male that could barely do the tasks at hand and they got the job.  This shows that people who are younger and more attractive will get further in their career. I made the logo by using the pen tool to outline the face of the fox I then filled it in with color. I decided to add a nose and eyes to make the fox more recognizable I made the shapes using the pen tool again and then changed the color of them to match the face. Then I added the logos name to complete the art.
