Look at the colorful disco ball paintings by artist Sari Shryack for inspiration.
She is an oil and acrylic painter based out of Austin, Texas. Her colorful works cover many different subjects and techniques including landscape, still life, portraits, disco balls and even memes.
Examples with Black/White Reference Images:
Drawing you Base Design
Get Your Material
A poster board (20x30 inches)
A disco ball template (either blank or graphite transfer)
Trace Your Disco Ball
You’ll trace your disco ball onto the poster board. Use a circle template like a plate, bucket top, or ribbon-and-pencil trick to draw the circle.
Draw or Transfer the Tiles
Use a pencil and ruler to draw the tiles carefully, they should curve slightly to make it look 3D.
If using a graphite template, trace over the printed disco ball to transfer it onto your board.
Start Planning Colors
Use your black & white references for value (light/dark) placement.
Use the color reference sheet to inspire your color choices
Think about highlights and shadows to make it pop!
Reminder: you must have minimum 6 hues in your disco ball
If there is 20 mins or more remaining in class, you can get started on your first batch of color!
