Creating Space Project - Not Quite Complete

Unfortunately, at this time my project isn’t quite done. I still have to color in the right side of the cliff and the valley, and I forgot to bring home the colors I need to do the sky, so it won’t get completed until Monday, March 21 most likely.

Creating Space Project - Halfway Point

For this project, I have to use 5/6 of the ways to create space. I chose to use overlapping, size, placement, linear perspective, and shading. So far, overlapping (the townspeople silhouettes drawn over the top of each other to distinguish who is in the front), size (Dipper and Pacifica being bigger than the townspeople since they are closer), placement (Dipper and Pacifica being closer to the viewer than the townspeople), and linear perspective (the floor) have been used. Once colored pencil is added, I will create shading.

While choosing the colors, I started by putting Dipper and Pacifica in the colors matching the clothing they were wearing in the episode Northwest Mansion Mystery (Dipper in his usual garb and Pacifica in the dress she wore in the beginning of the episode [x]). The outside will be based around the Gravity Falls valley and waterfall, so it will be greens, browns, and blues for the grass, trees, cliff, and waterfall. The sky will be a sunset based on a sunrise I saw on my way to school one morning.

Creating Space Project - Sketches

For this assignment, I had to draw 5 sketches portraying 5/6 of the ways to create space (linear perspective, size, placement, shading, value/focus, and overlapping). The final product will also need to include 4/5 value techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, scumbling, and pressure-only). I had a hard time coming up with sketches for this project, and, as seen, they were turned in late.

I chose #1 for my project because it will be a fanart piece of one of my favorite shows, Gravity Falls, featuring Dipper and Pacifica dancing. There will be much more included in the background, such as the UFO cliff outside the doors and silhouettes of the people of Gravity Falls to put the main focus on Dipper and Pacifica.
