Our assignment was to draw something that was transparent. For the Opacity project I decided to draw a nice crystal glass. First, outlined the glass with a light pencil, but the challenge was getting the right shape for the top of the glass. One side was either bigger or smaller than the other. Once I had done the outline I moved onto color.I decided to go the unrealistic route and made the color of my hand blue. I wanted the glass to be a mix of purple and yellows.
I had a bit of trouble trying to make the glass look transparent, but I was advised to start off with the whites. After I had done that I started to include some dark purple and light purples. I added a bit of yellow to add a little pop to the dark colors on the glass. After I was satisfied while the colors I tweaked it by smoothing it out, so the colors blended together more. My strong suit isn't in drawing transparency, so this project started off difficult. With some help from my friends and table mates, I managed to finish this piece.
