Acrobat sketchbook pictures explanation coming soon
Acrobat Sketchbook Assignment
As you can see this is my sketchbook assignment called Acrobat. For acrobat, the first thing that comes to my mind is a circus. In that circus, it is full of bizarre acts and full of odd and funny performers.
so I decided to add some crazy characters in my sketchbook assignment.
As you see above, this is my rough sketch of my acrobat. My sketchbook assignment is about Fatcake, a ring leader for an circus commanding cookie, his assistant to light the cannonball which then launch the giant elephant up in the ceiling.
This is my out lined version of acrobat. I enjoyed outlining Fatcake, because he was very easy and fun to outline, and i think he still looks good outlined or even sketched. The other character I enjoyed sketching is the Elephant on the cannonball, because he was easy too trace and it was fun after tracing it. What I disliked tracing was cookie and the border that separate the audience, because cookie turned out horrible, and I positioned him to close to the cannonball. The border was very challenging because I didn't draw it that long, so i had to improvise, and draw it longer, which turned out horrible.

This is the final version for my acrobat. The biggest challenge for me, with coloring it, is coloring the cookie, and the exit of the circus, because i colored it horribly, and it was difficult for me to shade it using a brush. What I enjoy from coloring this, is coloring fatcake, the elephant, and the ball. I enjoyed coloring the ball because it turned out well, and it was the only thing that was shaded properly for my opinion. In conclusion this isn't my best work that is colored with gimp, but I did enjoyed the challenge of it, and the other outcomes of the characters, like the Elephant, and Fatcake.

Spooky Sketchbook Assignment!
Spooky Sketchbook Assignment
By: Tommy Long
By: Tommy Long
This is my second sketchbook Assignment, called Spooky. My spooky assignment was mainly inspired by a Spongebob episode called “Scaredy Pants”. In that epidsode, it shows spongebob inpersonating the “Flying Dutchmen”
As you can see above, this is the rough copy on my sketchbook.
The biggest challenge I faced on the rough copy is, drawing squidward, and espically drawing the flying dutchmen.
It was very difficult drawing squidward, because I have to make him look very scared, and in the same time I have to make him look very goofy. I made him look goofy and scared in the same time by drawing his mouth very wide, and made him lean back a little to completment his head and arms, and I added lots of detail to his face, like wrinkles, bags, and I also draw his eyes very big with red reins in them.
The most challenging thing I encounter with, is drawing the flying dutchmen, because of his expression and size, It was very challenging to draw him. Because, I didn’t want to draw him too big or too small, and I wanted him to fit perfectly behind spongebob and patrick, without making him the first thing you’ll look at.
I wanted the main focus to be on squidward then the flying dutchmen, but over all I am happy with the final outcom of the rough copy.

This picture (Above) is the outlined verson of the characters, in colour. I outlined them using gimp, because I was use to using gimp on my other sketchbook assignment, dusty, which has a great outcome, so I decided to use it on this.Using the same and exact colour of the characters on the episode, I traced the characters with their respected outlined colour.
For example, I outlined squidward and spongebob using the colour black, and dark red/pink and green with patrick. For the flying dutchmen, I used multiple shades of green, from very light green, to dark green.

( Bigger Version of the outlined)
This is one of my favourate part, of the process on the project, which is painting the characters. I especially enjoyed painting the flying dutchmen, patrick and squidward. I enjoyed painting them, because It feels that as you finish painting them, it seems like I somehow made them came to life. And it looks even better with colour.
( Bigger version of painted Characters)
As you can see above in the bigger version, spongebob and squidward is the only ones who is outlined in black, they were out lined in black because squidward and spongebob were outlined in black, in the orignal episode, so I outlined in black, like the episode.
The only reason I outlined them in black is because I respected their choice in that episode, and it actualy looked better than using colour for the line, so I used it. Patrick and the Flying dutchmen was the only exception of not using color, because a black line around patrick would look terrible, and I would have to agree with the choices from the episode, he looks even better with a colour line like a dark pinkish reddish line then black.

I decided to out line the dutchmen in very light greenish yellow, because, it has a ghostly green effect, and it would be very useful, for the ending process.
This is my finished version of spooky. As you can see, all of the effects were added like the black background, green fogs and clouds in the background, shadows, and green ghostly effects on the dutchmen.
The black background was not my first choice, and matter in fact, I wanted the background to be the defult background of spongebob (Which is a clear blue sky, and sand) but that was to simple and plain, and it was not scary enough, so I decided to paint it black.
Not only was it simple and it was fast to do, but it also made my complemented my artwork and it also made it look like they were in a huge space. After the black background I added shadows on squidward, patrick and spongebob. The easyist part of shawdowing is making patrick and spongebobs one, because all I did was draw a simple figure resimbling theirs and then shade it again using a graffiti tool to fade it.
I also used the graffiti tool on squidward, spongebob and patricks faces, to make them appear like they were in the scene.
To make the flying dutchmens look ghostly, which is buy blending a light shade of green and yellow using the graffiti tool. After that was completed, I used several cloud and fog brushes on it, in green, to make it look very mysterous, and dangerous in the same time.

In conclusion this is a very big improvement for me, not only does it looks better than my other sketchbook dusty, which I use gimp to trace and paint it, like I did for this, but I also outlined and painted this in a total of 2 hours, which is pretty short, compare it to what I did with dusty, which also took me a least 4 hours (2 Hours on sat, 2 Hours sun)
In total this is my best sketchbook so far, and most likely, a big improvement.

Dusty SketchBook Assignment!
This is my First My Sketchbook for this semester. My Assignment is called Dusty. When I First though of dusty, My first thought was the dust bunny from "The Big Comfy Couch", who live under lonette and Mollys Gigantic Green Couch. When finally decided to use this idea, I started to brain stormed ideas for this. For this assignment, I had thought of several ideas such as: molly looking under the couch, and spotted the Dust bunny, The bunnys fleeing the couch with there bags while Lonette is sweping the floors with molly staring in sadness, and finally the bunnys dragging molly under the couch, while lonette is searching for her. Of all the ideas, I came up with, I had chosen, the dust bunnys attempt of kidnapping molly, while lonette is searchingfor her.
As you can see above I sketched the idea of molly being dragged, In a rough form. after drawing this, I decided that it would be best that I scan it, and colour it using gimp, rather than colouring it with pencil crayon. Not only does it make my artwork look great and messy free, but i could easyly show my process of inking and colouring it.
The picture above is the inked verson of the sketch book. As you can see I started to paint lunnete, the clown.
This is the work in progress of lunnete, as you can see I wasnt finished colouring her.
This is one of the dust bunny in the drawing. He was the most fun to draw and ink, because, he was easy to draw/ink , he was funny and was fun to look at. The biggest challenge, from drawing-inking-painting the bunny is the colouring of the fur. It was difficult to paint because I was so careful, because I didnt want to paint the black outline mark.
This is a semi finished version of molly, as you can see she isnt shaded and would be shown shaded soon. The biggest challenged of drawing Molly is drawing the pose and mood of molly, because molly is supossed to be a doll, I have to draw her with not many mood and feelings as possible, while showing her sadness and fear of the dust bunny.
This is the other dust bunny in my sketchbook assignment. this bunny purpose in this picture, was to surprise and attack lunette.
He was very fun to draw, because I added a gun to him, and i made him look evil, yet cute.
This is all the characters, all painted, and done (Except Lunette)
After when all the characters are now painted, I painted and edited the background. for the floor and the big couch, I used a special texture for it. First I selected the paint can icon, and selected a texture, such as floor board, and a groovy 3d texture. after that i added mini shadesfor the characters shadow.
After I added the shadows, I dicided to added shadows on the couch, ground, and for lunette. After that, I found out that the shadow for the ground is the same shade as the shadows for the characters, which makes the shadows for the characters, not visible.
Over all, I think my artwork is very good, because not only did I spend 2 hours on this, but this is my first time, heavly using gimp, for my artwork or for anything else, not only did I enhanced my artwork using gimp, but I emproved my skills, on it and found out lots of useful tools, and helpful techniques, I would use for my future project. I think this assignment, overall of my other sketch book assignment, is my most ambitous, and most creativity, than my other assignment. Overall I enjoy taking my time (Which is Hours) on gimp, enchancing my artwork, and improving my skills, in the same time. I enjoy Working on gimp, and would look forward to using it for most of my future assignment.
