It's very interesting that a public space like the arcade, which is also a place of performance to a degree...especially DDR, can become so intimate...hold such personal memories. Even though there are no people present in the image, the potential for activity is quite inviting. Arcades engage all the senses.<br /><br />Composition:<br />Both compositions contain a lot of information. Which speaks to the importance of place and objects...how they hold meaning for us.<br /><br />Detail/execution:<br />Both have a fair amount of detail, but since I can't view them larger and since both are rendered very lightly, some of the power that detail presents is lost. There is also little to no tonality...which strips the space of a sense of light. Light in both cases here would have added a narrative element to both images. There are clearly deep memories with the first image and the second speaks to the newness you're experiencing right now, but that is not fully realized.<br />You may want to work on your understanding and execution of perspective a bit. Gaining control of that skill allows you to branch out and create even more complex environments. Perhaps also a more committed line weight would help ground the images. Both feel a little safe...lacking dark darks and contrast. A full tonal arrangement will convey a stronger sense of intensity.<br /><br />Following instruction:<br />GoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927794732373726755.post-31687035145671240472010-09-01T21:16:45.064-07:002010-09-01T21:16:45.064-07:00Ohhh, dude, awesome! I was wondering where (and i...Ohhh, dude, awesome! I was wondering where (and if) there was some sort of listing for groups or activities or something extracurricular. <br />Aaahhhhhhh that's so cool. I'll admit I kind of fell out of my anime phase a while back, but I still think cosplaying is the coolest thing in the world. I've never really seen Soul Eater but I love the character designs. And you can't go wrong with Pokemon. I'm going to get really nerdy here for a second, but do you cosplay trainers? Or the actual pokemon? Like the gijinka stuff?Erica Westerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017758970366318572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927794732373726755.post-32034738445716967582010-09-01T13:59:50.311-07:002010-09-01T13:59:50.311-07:00Haha my brother is a DDR freak :D it's fun to ...Haha my brother is a DDR freak :D it's fun to watch him. lol<br />Oh and if you have a Facebook there is a group called Kansas City Art Institute Campus Activites and they update it whenever they have fun stuff to do.<br />The answer to your question is that we cosplay stuff like Soul Eater, Pokemon, Mad Hatter, Phoenix Wright etc. xDStephanie Sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706795909066804986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927794732373726755.post-24011975035108357042010-08-30T22:29:00.864-07:002010-08-30T22:29:00.864-07:00It was definitely an interesting layout for an arc...It was definitely an interesting layout for an arcade, I thought. <br /><br />Yeeeahhhh, taking photographs of them was a horrible idea, but the lighting in my apartment sucks, and it was either have it on a flat surface with no light, or have light but hold it in my hand like a fool. I just fixed it though... went down to the library and scanned 'em in. <br /><br />Thanks!Erica Westerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017758970366318572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927794732373726755.post-60135729401890981982010-08-30T21:36:08.138-07:002010-08-30T21:36:08.138-07:00Gosh the arcade looks exactly like the one I used ...Gosh the arcade looks exactly like the one I used to go to back when I used to live in Pennsylvannia. Well at least the layout of it.<br />I like the lanturns in your room. <br /><br />I would suggest you laid your sketches on a flat surface and then take a picture of them inorder to elimate that annoying curve. Or just scan them.Wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407818378485459214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927794732373726755.post-9144451735926235392010-08-30T16:54:38.833-07:002010-08-30T16:54:38.833-07:00I draw no such thing!
