1. Describe the subject matter and meaning of your artwork.
I decided to do a bubble bath container and a sink with bubble because I really wanted to do bubbles on scratchboard and I was trying to think of ways I could put bubbles on a scratchboard. At first my two ideas were separate, I was going to do a bubble bath with lots of bubbles or just a container with bubbles coming out of it. I ended up putting both together and I like the way it turned out.
2. How did you use textures to enhance your picture?
In the picture I did semi circle motions to get the texture in the sink with bright highlights, for the bubbles I added small highlights with the highlights fading out on either side. For the hand I did cross hatching and it turned out okay, I wish it was better than it turned out, but it was the first time doing a hand with highlights instead of shading and I just went for it.
3. How did you balance your artwork and create a well-organized composition?
I balanced my artwork by having some things go off the page and then other things being on a full page. I like the composition and I think everything turned out fairly well besides the hand. If I were to redo it I would fix the hand and I would also draw the bottle a little differently, it ended up being a little better than I wanted it to be but I still really like it.
4. How did you imply movement in your drawing?
I implied moment in my drawing through bubbles, I wanted this to be the main thing in my piece. To imply the movement I made the bubbles different sizes, had them going on and off the page, and over the bottle and my hand. I love the way the bubbles turned out they might not be as realistic but the whole piece isn't really realistic, this was my first time doing scratchboard and I didn't really like it because I don't like doing highlights over values.
5. How could you improve your artwork?
I could improve my artwork by spending more time learning how to do the hand and also realistically shaping the bottle, I think that if those two were better the entire piece would look more realistic and overall better. Another thing I could improve on is doing more textures than I have, I really only have two textures besides basic shading and it might look better if there were more.
6. How did you demonstrate a wide range of shading values?
I demonstrated a wide range of shading values mainly in the sink, theres lots of midtowns but also bright whites and also a banner of just black to separate the two sides. Theres also bright whites in the bubbles and then midtones fading out from each highlight. Also the main background is black which I like because it separates the piece and I think makes everything pop.
