Week 6: Shoe First Draft


Craft

As before, most shapes and areas were created using only the pen tool to create a solid, enclosed path. The colors were added exclusively with the eye dropper tool from the actual photo. The biggest difference here is the addition of the glare effect on the top and side of the foreground shoe. Those were achieved in a different manner, with the brush tool. The glare was literally painted on to avoid a choppy shape that was resulting with the pen tool. I was trying to achieve some three-dimensionality with the glare effect, esspecially on the side of the shoe where there were a few monments of detail emphasized by it.

Concept

The concept is still the same, an illustration of my shoes.

Composition

The shoe in the foreground grabs the viewers attention becuase of the high contrast between the glare and the darker surfaces of the shoe. The eyes then move to the background shoe because it is intense with color. Also the position of the shoe points away from the picture plane and draws the viewers attention to the back.
