A Christmas Note

This was a project from my 2D class. You choose a picture and designed from pieces of your inspiration. 
 My inspiration was the notebook.  It is one of my favorite books/movie.
 Next we used tracing paper to gather and "Inventory of Parts" these were tools to help use design our bigger picture item.
 Next was lots and lots of sketches. 
 And lots and lots.... and then once you had a design you did a bigger drawing.
 Then you inked it in extremely neatly. Use the breaks between the black and white to create the different shapes in the forms.
 Then you added a middle tone, gray.
 After you were to add textures to your piece. For this one you had to pick another inspiration. I don't actually remember why I choose to go with Christmas themed items it was something I believe I came across in my researching and sketching. I wanted to get away from doing something with animal print since many examples in class were given with that and others in the class had already seemed interested in doing that.
The last step was to really push your design to kind of a chaotic state. You copied and repeated the image in another way adding some more crazy texture.
