first official ocad work XD. well i have some stuff from my drawing class but i'm so bad at life drawing that it's really not worth blinding you all with it. the main idea behind the project was to pick one colour and make a design to represent it incorporating typeface into it somewheres and making it look all designy and cool XD. there's a very detailed explanation of this at ispy if anyone's interested in my long winded babbles. i'll try to keep the babbles over there and the no babbles here. spare you all the boredom and shiz. so here's the low down...

weapons of choice: i, in my insane rush to get this done on time, stupidly used a staedtler HB pencil and crappy random hardcover sketchbook paper to sketch and ink this T__T. the pigment liners leaked a bit and the paper isn't smooth so it was quite a trial to do smooth contoury lines but i managed. so yeah staedtler HB pencil, staedtler and sakura micron pigment liners in 0.05 and 1.0, crappy noname hardcover sketchbook paper, photoshop, and a few of my beloved household textures heh. textures include pictuers of my wood floor, coark board, and a piece of fabric.
concept: originally i was going to go with green. but since profs like to give you ideas to help out my whole earth thing was totally and quite expectedly picked apart on the blackboard. so i was like fuck that and chose purple. cool thing is that i used to be obsessed with purple as a kid and now i'm so not into it. so rather than chosing a colour i liked i chose one i didn't care for. we were allowed a supporting colour so i chose yellow, purple's complimentary colour and it tied in perfectly with my whole royal night goddess queen spirit thing bringing the night with her wherever she goes kinda dealy.

so that's it. i'm happy with it for the most part but i'd like to try it as my prof suggested and put the more vibrant, eye catching colours in the top left corner. sort of draw the eye there first so it can travel the length of the page and follow the flowing design/composition i had in mind. rather than go straight to the dark purple then fall off the page as he put it XD.
