Cup Practice

I was aiming to recreate a tankard through exploring what I can do to already existing materials. Using commands I now and learning some new ones I was able to create this. I started this project making a simple tea cup and using the pipe command to create the hand but as got close to finishing I was not happy with the results so I swapped up my design for a tankard. Offset was the main tool I used on this being able to create the simple outline and creating the metal that hold the cup together. For the handle I used sweep 1 and created a curve in the shape I wanted and then created a rectangle at one end of the curve and rotated it as I liked.

 This project helped me learn more tools that I can use on future projects such as sweep and pipe. Materials really help bring the model to life.

Surface Design

 References Process I was creating random shapes in class and made a document of just shapes that I liked so I could use it as a library if I wanted. This was helpful with creating an outline and filling negative space. I was wanting to make my surface design to be like a stamp or brand, rather then a pattern. I took inspiration of a oni mask and using the sun and the moon as a way of contrast.  I choose the colors for the oni mask before anything as I wanted specific colors for it and contrasted the rest of the design based off of the mask. I did put it in a pattern after I finished the design and did not like how it looked this way as it had so much negative space and the detail from the oni mask was getting lost in the piece.
