COLOUR STUDY: FINAL PROJECT (FASHION TO WEAR)



       This is my final project for colour study. We are given many themes which are haute couture, vintage, sporty, retro, and punky. I choose retro because as my theme. I choose this theme because it is interesting and elegance. 

        I use the pink colour for the shirt because pink represented a delicate colour that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tederness. The colour pink is the colour of universal love of oneself and of others.

       For the skirt, I choose black and white colour. This is because it can give us the retro feeling. As we know black represented associated with power, elegance, formality and mystery. While, white represented associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the colour of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. 

       On my skirt, there are a lot of polka dots. As we know, some of the design at the retro time is polka dots. 

       In a nutshell, this is my design for my final project for colour study. My theme is retro.

COLOUR STUDY: SPLIT - COMPLEMENTARY









  • The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme.
  • It uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.
  • This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.

COLOUR STUDY: COLOUR VALUE

                             




  • Colour value refers to the lightness or darkness of a colour. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colours other than black or white. Every colour can produce a variety of tones; how light or dark these are depends on the colour.

  • These are the colour value that we make using primary colour; YELLOW, RED, BLUE. Starts with the colour, we keep on adding white colour to get the lightest colour.

DRAWING 2: LANDSCAPE DRAWING ( INK AND PEN)


BASIC COMPUTER 2: RENDERING SHADING TECHNIQUE


DOTS/STIPPLING


- Use tiny dots to create value.
- The closer together the dots, the darker the tone.
- Larger dots create a denser tonal value more quickly but can looks coarse.

SCRUMBLING/RANDOM


- "Brillo Pad" technique, uses layers of small calligraphic to build up value and texture.
- Various textures result depending on whether these short hatches are applied            
  vertically, at right angles, following a contour or at random angles.

CROSS HATCHING


- Uses layers of hatching placed at an angle.
- The first layer would be vertical, the next horizontal, the next at 45°, and so on.

HATCHING

- Basic method of creating value in ink drawing.
- The closer the lines are, the less white paper shows, and the darker the value appears.

CONTOUR HATCHING

- Hatching placed at a slight angle creates a moire-like effect, the diamond-shaped      
  fragments of white paper enlivening the denser ares of value;
- Often used in figure drawing, with the direction of line helping to suggest the cross-
  contours of the body;
- Hatching which follows a contour can also help to make objects appear more three-
  dimensional.
