20 by 30 Sketch Maps

Here are the maps of each of my sketches, and each includes positive and negative space, movement, and shows the focal point.

20 By 30 Sketches

Self Portrait

Here is my finished self-portrait drawing. In the background, to make it a bit more interesting, there are a few hidden (but not really hidden. they are kind of easy to see) references to a certain thing. See if you can find them.

And for brushes, I used this on the hair: 

This for texture on the face and background texture:

And in the background, I used these two brushes that I made:

Loop Drawing

Here is my finished loop drawing.

Custom Brushes

Here are the custom brushes I made in photoshop. If I create any more custom brushes, I will be sure to add them to this post.

This one is an 11, because why not. It also adds a cool, pixel effect when you use it.

This one is made of cross hatching, so I can use it to easily make cross-hatching.

 This one is made up of dots, which creates an interesting texture when layered many times.

This one is made up of several triangles, and I was really creative with this one. Although it has no true practical use, it still creates a cool, triangle effect when used.

This one is made of random curly lines, which I applied different filters and transformations to to make it look unique, and it creates a really interesting effect once used.

Mystery Image Photo

This is the piece of the mystery image that I got. It is photo #10.

Layers Palette

Here is my layers palette for my finished negative space drawing.

Negative Space Drawing

Here is my negative space drawing!

I made it unique by  layering different images in the

negative spaces, and then I applied filters to them to make my artwork even more interesting. One example is the fact that I used a layer blend in the middle on the bottom to color the shadows of the drawing, and I inverted the colors to add the contrast between blue and orange. Another example is on the top, where I made strips of one image essentially "cutting through" the image below it, and applies filters to make it look much more interesting. And, as I always do, I put some hidden secrets into my artwork, the only difference being that I will tell you what they are, and let you try and find them. There are eleven 11's hidden throughout my artwork. Good luck finding them all!
