Week 10

Read pgs 38-67 (Graphic LA)

Read Chapter 10: Atmospheric Effects (Color and Light)

For Graphic LA reading assignment, I learned that perspectives are more important than actual objects, and I need to think about design like an art director because how to picture the drawing is more important than the actual drawing. I need to think which scene would be the most interesting for audience to appreciate. as an illustrator, I know drawing and painting are important, but as like an art director, I also think how to show and present my picture is more important than the actual drawing and painting. Also, I learned simple shapes are all good for value design as well. These are all good tips for me because I sometimes lose a track of my value design, composition, and perspective.

From Color and Light, I also learned about perspective in a painting way such as reverse atmospheric perspective and atmospheric perspective. I don't have much experience to draw and paint environments, so I don't really know about the atmospheric perspective. However, I do have much interest in environment design, and I think this will be very important and fun to do. With a little perspective, the composition and design get way better than without it having some depth. I think that is the strength of perspective. Also, I learned about light in a specific way such as golden hour light, rainbow, fog, dust, and so on. They are very specific and it is good to know that detailed light because they are worth it. What I liked from this chapter was that I could learn more about water, underwater, sky, dappled light, cloud shadows, and so on. Every page was very specific, and it was so fun to learn how much light we have in every different situation.

Below is the example of light and color I learned from this week's assignment.
