Space

For this project we had to create a value space drawing using Zentangles, starting on the left with darker patterns and shapes and working our way right where it fades to lighter space with more white value. Starting on the right I began to add lines, I started with just drawing lines going in ever direction not really knowing where I was going with the pattern. Then After the block was filled with different lines I realized that the zentangle as a whole needed to be darker, so I started to had cross stitching lines to create a checkerboard effect. For the second Pattern I started with just adding random lines and I looked kinda cool so I kept the pattern as random lines.

For the third block I wanted to go more with a checkerboard effect but also go a little of the basic squares, so I tried to make it look like the checkerboard was moving, so I made each little block a different shape/size square. Next I started adding circles and filling in the shape in between the outside of the circles (filling in the empty space). For the remaining zentangles I stared off the same way, I picked a shape and just started drawing but for each block I used less and less lines which then created a lighter effect as the blocks went down. which left the project as a strip of zentangles that got lighter as they went.

This project was negative space, which is focusing on the space outside the object not what is inside the object. We did this with leaves we started by drawing the outline then adding patterns and colors into the negative space. I did this by using a ink pen, I started with just an outline in pencil then went in with the pen. After the outline was complete I started adding dots to create shading with a pen. This tecnecisc is called stippling. I went around all the outsides of the lines and started dark then faded out.

After I had finished that I started with color. I wanted to keep the idea of dark and lights but I also wanted to have some color so I added 2 different shades of faint green to the outsides of the lines. then to reather the color I added very faint blue in the background to make it seem like the whole picture had more depth.
