How a cookie feels...

For my project, I had to make something based off of how a cookie feels or sounds. When I thought of cookies and how they felt, it reminded me kinda how sand feels whenever the cookie is crumbling. So for my project I did something very simple and attempted to make a sand texture in Photoshop. I'm not very experienced in Photoshop so I figured trying to make a texture such as sand would be within my grasp. Once it was done, I ended up being fairly satisfied with it.

Breaking Rules

I always have thought about how creativity to can come from changing rules up a bit. For this assignment I did a quick experiment to show this. Many people would think that a required rule to draw would be to have site. Well I decided to draw a self portrait while I was blindfolded just to see the results. The results of course ended up being ridiculous but I had fun doing it.

Creating an Idea, Block by Block

For this weeks assignment I ended up making an interesting choice for what I wanted to do. Initially I wanted to model a car in Maya, texture it, and make it look very nice. However, I ran into problems with my program crashing a lot, and it started to feel like a chore, and my goal for the assignment was to have fun. Though I love modeling things, I decided to change my idea to something more fun, and more limiting. I chose Minecraft as my creative platform and decided to just create a nice, detailed and decorated house.

I first started out with a 30 X 30 area, which I decided to be my building limits. I considered the idea of fish bowling by creating this area without considering what I would want to put in it. After that, I just started creating from my mind. I built up the building and filled in the insides with various rooms. 

Block by block, I made this house and it eventually came together as a living, breathing home, which I thoroughly enjoyed building.
