Remixed Character -
This mini lesson was fairly entertaining. I discovered that it is actually easier to remix a character than people may think. For this lesson, I used acrylic paint to color the picture. It was the first time I had ever used paint in this class and I learned a bit more about mixing colors. The two characters I combined were Sponge Bob and a Japanese character called Mamegoma. This piece is successful because of the oddity of it. I had never seen anything like it until I created it. This lesson was a mess for me because I got brown paint on the white parts of the drawing and everything is misshapened. If I could change anything about this piece I would've been cleaner with my painting skills.
Watercolor practice -
This mini lesson was by far my favorite. I liked it so much that I went out and bought my own watercolors. Something about the way the brush moves on the paper creates a calming effect for me. Watercolors are fairly easy to use just be aware of how much or how little of water you are using. I practiced on a sketch of an elephant that I did for my Artist Steal main project. This piece is successful because of the sketch and the beautiful combination of water colors. Something I would've changed is using less water and just painting the elephant instead of practicing around it. Either way, it turned out pretty good.
Daily Monster Ink Drawing-
This mini lesson is probably my least favorite. We had small straws and blew ink onto the paper to create a "monster." This technique was pretty hard for me because I kept blowing too much ink and I couldn't get shape that I liked. This piece was successful because of the looks the monsters are portraying. The monster on the left looks very mischievous and the one on the left looks frightened. If I could change anything about this piece I would use less ink and not draw the lines that are on the second monster. It looked better without them.
