Project Pack 07 - Day 7

Today’s video, located here , Molly uses a variation of Fife as a fragment and fills both the positive and negative spaces with reticula U2 and K1, respectively.

I accidentally skipped over this lesson by accident a couple of days ago. I suspected that I had missed a lesson because my numbering system didn’t line up correctly. I’m glad I went back and checked!

This tile was a bit time consuming because the design has a fair amount of line work. Also, the shading, coloring and highlights took some time. But I think the overall effect made spending the time well worth it.

This tile took me a bit out of my comfort zone in another way: I almost never work all the way to the edge of a tile. It can make it tricky because I don’t want to put my fingers on graphite or chalk incase I move it around more than I want it to be. I have to say, in this case, it is really effective!

So, while it took me a while to complete this lesson, it was well worth it!
