Over the past month, our teacher has had us create a piece with color pencil to send into the color pencil magazine for their monthly challenge instead of our regular weekly art homework. For their challenge, they had us recreate a photo of bows in anyway we saw fit. So for mine, I got started earlier than others with a small sheet of vanilla paper and cropped the picture in a way that focused on one large, central bow with the others radiating around it. With that set up, I wanted to add a bit extra in order to give the picture some christmas flare. What better way than to add a christmas tree into it? Or a few branches at least. So I placed it in the corner, covering a few bows in the process. I did my best to imitate the highlights and shadows from the different parts of the bows. Turns out, all you need to draw bows, is lots of triangles. I also used different colors in the lighter spots to act as reflections on the bows of the lights from the tree. I thought it would add a nice atmospheric effect. A few parts on some of the bows in the corner could have been done neater if I had actually paid attention to my lines, but the overall product looks nice. The only thing I have to complain about is the appliction process on flikr. I had no idea how to enter my picture as a beginer project, so I just left a comment, hoping the people running the competition would notice.
