Spatula For Days


So I started with sketching my object (spatula) on paper then I started to copy those sketches on the computer. Then I found a picture of my spatula on Google Images and I started to trace that with the pen tool. Once that was finished I started to work on the different styles of drawings (gesture, painterly, graphical, and radical) starting with rough sketches of each then I put them all on one page and labeled them. After I fused the stuff that I liked from all those and made my nirvana and copied it to a separate page. Now I am currently working on my written for this object study.

What worked well for me was the pen tool for using straight lines and the paint tool to do free hand stuff, but if you use both you have to change the brush strokes for them. I Kind of learned that when I was making my nirvana. Like I wanted the straight lines for the fat square part and the rest free hand.

I think the best spatula that I had made would have to be my radical drawing or my gesture drawing. Like my nirvana is sapost be my best, but I like abstract stuff so I guess in my mind those two have to be my favorite. The lines are clean and drawn free hand with the paint tool.
