BLUE
HAT
Its amazing how somtething as simple
as a hat on a table can contain so much
detail when the light shines on it the
right way.
This is a monochromatic drawing of a hat using Adobe Illustrator on a Bamboo tablet. I started out by using the 100 line drawing and created the shape of the hat. Next, I decided on using the
color blue and created my palette on the side with the different
values of the blue. I started shading the darkest part of the hat
and continued over with lighter shades of blue until the entire
hat was colored. In order to make the hat look less stripy with
each value difference, I went in between each shade of blue and
lightened or darkened the color depending on what was needed
to make it look more natural. When I first look at the hat, I find
myself drawn more toward the darkest side first, then the lighter
side, and back to the darker side.
