Favorite Image #4 I was a teenager when Calvin and Hobbes came out, which was just the right age to get completely gobsmacked by the characters and the art. It's one of my first art loves. Form Analysis: Convergence 3/5 I don't know if Bill Watterson plotted any vanishing points in this image, but I've analyzed enough of his art to know that he has with other images. He knows perspective rules well. As such we can see the stream narrow as it moves away from us. Also notice how, with the horizon line high, he placed Calvin lower in the image to reflect correct position the characters occupy on the ground plane while walking side by side with the horizon line above them. While not convergence, also note the use of wrapping lines on the trees, on Hobbes's stripes, and on Calvin's hat to help orient all the objects in the views mind. Value Analysis: Atmosphere 5/5 Watterson make good use of atmospheric perspective by controlling the values to create distance. This can be a little tricky because he is inking the characters and parts of the background, but in the instance, he is doing a lot of work with the watercolor washes. Shape Analysis: Overlapping 5/5 The overlapping of the landscape here borders on the extreme, however, like with the Frazetta piece analyzed earlier, Watterson keeps much of the overlapping shapes in a narrow range of values to keep it organized. He does vary the color quite a bit, but because the values are close, nothing gets confusing. Diminution 3/5 Here Watterson uses a light touch. He is careful to make the trees in the far background thinner than the ones closer to us in the mid ground. It works beautifully showing that it doesn't take much to establish scale.

I have been training like an athlete for this moment;)

Some rhythms practice, Done with the proko timer. Sorry that I don't have the references, the timer doesn't have an option to grab them after youre done drawing. Please tell me anything you see where I may have gone wrong or could improve on! thanks!

Here are a couple from me. If I have more time, I'll do a few more.

Restarting this class. I began with the cartooning 8 min exercise followed by Reveries both Responsive (abstraction and envisioned imagery) as well as Preconceived
