Beginning this project I felt it would be the most challenging, because of the color, and reflections of light. As I continued to work on the piece I started to have a better understanding of the object. I focused on the color, and drew what I saw. I liked incorporating all the different colors, and emphasizing them with complementarities. The body is red-orange, and the tail is blue. So I put cool colors on the blue parts to emphasize the blue hues, and warm colors such as yellow to emphasize the orange. | By emphasizing these colors, I could make the tail, and fins, really complement the red body. I then drew a faded white line to make it look like a glass table. Then I put in the distorted dark shadow. I noticed I worked faster with prismacolors in this piece. I am comfortable with this medium now. I learned in this project how colors really play a major part when working with prismas. |
