Have a great spring break!

When you get back, there will be a sub, for that week.

Solution


This is going to see hopelessly complex to some of you, at first.
The thing is, it's all based on the right triangle and the Law of Parallels.
When the pink triangles (nice choice, John) appear, watch for where the light is throwing the shadows of the boxes' corners.

Assignment

art by Linh Phan

The latest homework, due Tue 11 March, is to finish or redo your 1pp-with-rotated-object drawing and tone it using the shadow plotting methods we reviewed in class today.

I HIGHLY recommend you get some tracing paper or vellum and create an overlay to put your a- and d-lines on .

Then put that overlay under the final art on a lightbox or animation table, trace through the points that are the corners of the shadows and fill them in on the original drawing. If you like, you can even put the shadows on their own overlay or composite the thing in Photoshop using layers.

The art above is an example of the kind of shadow-constructing overlay I'm talking about.
