Star Wars

This piece shows a lot of the things we have been learning in our lectures.  There are many lines which create the shapes of the characters as well as the setting.  The artist uses color very well choosing bright vibrant hues of the colors.  The characters even cast the appropriate shadows for a more realistic feel.

While at first glance this looks like a very simple piece one must not overlook the details.  A close look at the ashtray reveals many lines, shapes and designs.  The design and detail within the lines of the smoke add to this piece as well.  Looking very closely you can even see what looks like a bit of shadow cast by the smoke.

After our lecture on shadows and lighting this piece caught my eye.  The artist makes great use of shadows and adds just the right amount of light to give it a realistic late daytime feel.

Cool Car

The designs the artist created on this car are extremely detailed.  While there is no color used the lines and shapes the artist is able to make are quit extraordinary.  Using just light and dark variations within the designs this car is now an amazing piece of art.

I really like the way the artist uses lighting and shadows to make this painting appear 3D.  Looking at this at a glance it could be mistaken for a photograph.  The shadows in the water really add realism to the painting.
