OPTICAL DESIGN
step by step
|
Color is a very expressive Element of art. How can you express your feelings or mood with this design? |
 |
1. Use #2 pencil.
Draw 9+ vertical waves. Alter space and curves.
Waves should not cross.
|
 |
2. Draw a simple wave across.
|
 |
3. Use thin Sharpie.
Draw upward curves above the middle wave.
Draw downward curves below the middle wave.
Every next curve starts at a previous line.
Alter the distance between the curves.
|
 |
4. Complete the entire section.
|
 |
5. Complete the entire design.
Erase the "across" wave.
|
 |
6. Color each section gradating color from dark to light to dark.
|
 |
7. Use an analogous color and apply same gradation pattern.
|
 |
8. Add another analogous color or repeat the first one.
Keep coloring!
|
 |
9. Use different colors for the next section.
This is how you color:
- shade lightly the entire shape with a color of your choice
|
 |
- shade full strength - leaving a small area in the middle
|
 |
- use white pencil to blend the middle part
|
 |
- use black or a darker color to blend the sides of the shape.
|
 |
You can also get creative and use complimentary
colors to emphasize an area or keep it all analogous colors, or just
color it the way you feel like.
Enjoy!
