Week4

Craft: I worked from the back to the front. Doing the background first the sky than the backboard after that came the rim itself and the things that attach the rim to the backboard. Since the one shoe is in the net I did that shoe next and than came the toughest part. The chain net consisted of the most layers of the whole picture. I did each link of chain individually, which took a lot of time. Lastly I did the lower of the two shoes last. I traced everything with the pen and tried to use the same colors as the real picture. To do that I used the eye drop tool which worked pretty well. So I tried to make it as identical as I can to the real picture.

Composition: When I took the picture I put one shoe hanging in the net and one out of the net, so it can just freely hang there. I took the picture from that angle so I can just get the basketball hoop and the gray sky.

Concept: That it's a abandoned playground, that kids don't play there like they used to. The gray colors I feel really give it that feel of abandonment.
