Sketching and Illustrator

        Bonjour my fellow friends, back again today with another blog. This week we got to sketch an item twenty different times. I chose flowers because I feel like they were my weak point out of the four choices we had. So I grabbed my sketch book and got to work. I don't really know the names of my flowers but I drew a lot and I think they looked pretty good. Well I mean my skills improved. It took me a couple days because I couldn't just sit back and work I have homework and play practice to do so it took me three days I think but I finished them and posted to our online classroom. I thought it was a good way to challenge myself with my drawings because I used shading and tried to make them look pretty without cool because I didn't have enough time to color twenty flowers. Overall this was really fun to do and I'm not one to pass up drawing.

     Our second project this week was to use Adobe Illustrator to create one of our twenty images. I choose to draw a rose, not just any rose, but the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast. I love Beauty and the Beast so much, it is also the musical I am in for my school. Anyways It took me an hour I think, and I found out how to shade and use my tools better. I really enjoy drawing either digital or on paper. I fort drew a really rough outline for my rose then colored it in slowly whilst shading. Then I drew the pink shading which was kinda a mistake cause I had to erase some and it looks a little sloppy, after that I drew the green stem and shaded that as well. Then I went back with the pink shading to create the magical glow. Lastly I made some little stars or sparkles. 

    I'm very proud of how my drawings turned out and I think my Adobe skills are greatly improving. I'm really digging the e-COMM program and I can't wait for what is going to come next. 

Till we speak again my friends,

Sophie the First.
