Iphone 4
“Loved drawing my own precious
iphone.”
- Gerardo Martinez
This is a value drawing made in Adobe Illustrator. It is
a value of drawing of my iphone. While observing the
iphone, first I made a one hundred line drawing of the
iphone to form the structure of the device. Then, I used
a lamp that I shined on the iphone as the light source
in the drawing. Because the light is shining from the
right, I began with the lightest shade of gray on the
right sides of the iphone. While observing the iphone
again but now with the source shining on it, I drew a
series of x’s on the device with the selected gray color
shade to carefully form each levels of darks and lights
accurately. Also, I focused on the different parts of the
iphone that formed their own levels of value such as
the screen, speakers, buttons and metal border around
the device.
The idea of this value drawing is to practice my skill
to distinguish the different values of light and darks
formed on an object by a light source and shade in
each level correctly. I believe my skills of making a
value drawing has improved based on the comparison
of this value drawing to the glass cup and teapot value
drawing.
I want the audience to be able to determine where the
light source is located and the object being illuminated is a teapot. Also, I want the audience to see how I
drew the values of the iphone based on the shadings
I made on the device in the light source and how I
have improved on making value drawings based on the
comparison of the iphone drawing to the glass cup and
teapot drawing.
