How to Draw a Cute Bunny!

 Hi everybody! Today the assignment was to make our own tutorial, so today I will be teaching you guys how to draw a cute bunny!



First, you want to draw the rabbits ears and the start of the head, make sure to add some fluff at the base of the ears and around the cheeks.




Next, draw the body and feet. Add a lot of fluff and don't forget the tail!




Next, add some details like eyelashes, the nose, add some ear fluff as well. Add some cross hatching around the body and face.




Lastly, add some darker lines around the edges to make it look more defined. Add some cute details like "zzz" and some outlines.

Making Stamps

 For this assignment, we were told to make stamps with the tools given to us in our art kits and then edit the photo digitally. I've already made stamps before during last semester but the digital part of this project is new too me. It was very fun!

I took a glimpse of my art professors and followed it but also kind of did my own thing: https://candacenicolgarlock.com/blog/http/wwwcandacegarlockcom-5

Firstly I wanted to pick out what stencil size to use, I chose the smallest.




Next, I wanted to make a stamp of me so I took my pencil and started to draw a little doodle of myself onto the stamp I cut out to be a rectangle.

Next I slowly cut out the pencil lines out of the stamp, It was a bit hard but I managed.




Next, I started playing with the stamp colors, it was a bit hard to transfer to the paper. I just started to put the design everywhere onto the paper, as well as mixing the colors.


Lastly, I did some tweaking of my image on ChatGPT and gave it cool effects. It looks like crayons and pencils which I thought was cute!

Valorant Art Style Analysis

 VALORANT Art Style Analysis ₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊   

The hit game VALORANT made by Riot Games has a very distinct art style that you can recognize from a mile away. The VALORANT art style has a very clean version of stylized realism that is very easy to read what is going on. They use slightly exaggerated shapes, blockish rendering, and simplified details to make the character silhouettes more clear, using bold colors, and defined outlines so players can recognize the character straight away. 

To achieve this art style, you don't want to go full realistic. The artists of VALORANT use smoothing shading mixed with bold shapes which simplify details to make the characters recognizable. Instead of realistic skin textures and complex lightings like splash arts in League Of Legends use, they take a different approach. They use soft gradients and very sharp highlights which keeps the drawing clean and readable on a small screen. Usually there is two light sources, one is a very bright and sharp light source while the other one is a natural light source hitting the face directly and not from the side. 



Each portrait focuses on the characters face and expression to show their personality, for example, Clove has a lot of bright colors on her, with a soft smiling expression while on the other hand, Yoru, has his eyebrows furrowed with a mean expression. The artists will exaggerate small things like eyebrows, eye shapes, and posture so people can understand the characters personality.

Back to the lighting and colors, the artists will use strong lighting and color contrast to separate  the character from the background. Backgrounds in VALORANT are usually simple gradients to match the character. For example, darker or purpler tones are used for characters like Omen, while brighter and warmer tones are used for a character like Phoenix.




Final Project

 Hi everyone! For this final we were told to create another design using the knowledge we have gained this semester. So I took a design I ha...
