Extra Ai Features (And Progress Rep

Greetings Fellow Classmates!

So I wanted to elaborate upon two tools not mentioned in class.

The first, which I have been using all of the time is the PAINTBRUSH TOOL.

What's so nice about the Paintbrush tool?

You can add lots of colors to create an interesting look. My personal favorites are the charcoal tool, the watercolor brushes, and of course the generic 1pt tool found under the sidebar menu.

ANOTHER TOOL

This is more of a rant about a ton of different tools. HOW TO SHADE TO LOOK LIKE AN AIRBRUSH.
Guess what I'm going to bring up

The Gradient Tool. Since I'm not good at explaining, I'm linking this.

VECTOR ARTIST: Chris King

Before I begin, I must point out this website:

http://www.illustrationweb.com/artists/

Yes. That's exactly what you think it is. So go. Go check it out and be inspired.

K, Digression over.

Chris King is an English artist who majored in media production with subfields in animation and character design. He is a professional artist and has worked for many companies including the Oxford University Press and The Guardian Guide.

Here's some of his work:

Cool huh?

Chris King's work is rather ambiguous, however most of it pertains to technological sci-fi characters. Again, he is a professional illustrator, thus his work goes towards that.

I personally love his style. I really want to be able to do work like his. It's incredible, and I'd love to have enough design/AI proficiency to do work like this!

Artist Post #3- Kandisky

Artist Post #3: Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian born artist and musician. He focused upon abstraction within his works, particularly when representing music within paintings. It is debated that he had perfect pitch, which referenced his claim that he "saw" colors in music. His abstract works caused controversy among his compatriots, among both the Russian, German, and Parisian art cultures.

Kandinsky was also a theorist on art. He focused upon the spirituality of making art and music. He outlined the types of painting with one of his major works (Du spirituel dans l'art) as impressions, improvisations, and compositions. One can see this within his works and their specific titles.

QUOTE: "Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."

The images below represent his experiments with art: 

As a critique, I think is is the coolest artist I have encountered. Why? HE USES MUSIC! That is incredible that someone who is gifted in the arts of music can literally put this embodiment of music on paper. Though I don't really care for abstract art, I feel that Kandinsky could not make his work any other way without bordering his art upon illustration.

EXTRA: So because I am so inspired by Kandinsky, and as I am a musician and composer myself, I am taking one of my pieces that I have composed and am doing art to it in the Kandinsky style.

Not perfect. Not at all, but a start.
As a note, each of the four parts (vln1, vln2, vla, cel.) are represented in a different color.
