Although Donald Trump doesn't have to do with anything related to the letter M, I thought of a way to make it fit. Because he is such a big controversial person right now in politics, I thought of how he wanted to deport many immigrants back to their country including Mexicans. At first I was thinking of creating a Great Wall of Trump with M shaped blocks to block off Mexico, but then I did not know how to start that. So I scratched that idea off my list.
Then our next step in this class was to create 20 thumbnail sketches. Here are my thumbnails:
My favorite thumbnail sketches off the bat was the email icon but then I checked the gmail icon and it was too similar to do. Another favorite was the hairline of a person with a M shape to it. Another really easy alternative to this project was a duo mountain next to each other creating an M shape. The feedback I got didn't help me because I couldn't do the mail icon, so the feedback I got wasn't helpful
My two drafts after the thumbnail sketches were the hairline and the mountain.
So, I did these two drafts. I really liked my face draft, with the hairline and unibrow with the M shape. Ms. Lee said the M shape has to be more promiment, so there was no way for me to make this drawing. The mountain shaped M was difficult to draw and it looked really plain if it was only the mountains on the page. But then I thought of sphaghetti o's and thought of sphaghetti m's with a M shape bowl.
Here is my final product:
There is the spoon indicating that it is a M shaped bowl with little m sphaghetti on the inside.
In my concept, I tried to make the outer rim lighter than the inside of the bowl because the inside of the bowl is usually darker than the outside. Also, the inside of the bowls edges were sharper because it is suppose to be a really sharp cut instead of a really dull one. I also blended two colors together for the soup color.
This picture showed the sharp edge of the bowl and the different colors used for the soup color. A soup shouldn't be a single color especially from a can of soup. I created different sizes sphaghettis because the all of the sphaghettis are not similar.
The most challenging aspect of this project for me was to decide on what to do because I never can decide on what to do, and if I did know what to do, I will always find a way to get rid of it. The soup was really hard to create out of color pencils and I think I did a horrible job creating the color of the soup.
I am not satisfied with my project because my drawing isn't as realistic as I wanted it to be. If I look at it, without knowing what this project is about, I would not know this is a bowl of soup Everything isn't the way I wanted it to be. It is annoying because I do not know how to create something from my brain to the paper.
If I can change my design, I would change everything because it doesn't look like a real bowl, the sphaghettis are really unrealistic and the soup looks discolored. Everything looks wrong to me, so if I had to change something, I would change everything.
