Illustration Friday: Breakfast

I took my left over paste paper and made my favorite breakfast which is chocolate cake doughnuts and orange juice.

Step 7: Final Biome Pics

This project was unique and fun but it took me forever. I used many different paper sculpture techniques such as overlapping strips to show bark, wrapping to create a vine look, spirals to create my snake, wrinkling to create trees and branches, folding make the orchids appear to pop out, xacto knife cutting to make my flowers and folding paper and gluing it behind objects to make them stick out and give the biome depth. These are the final pics of my tropical rainforest of southeast asia.

Step 6: My paper sculpture animals

These are my paper sculpture animals. The snake was done in a spiral to make it seem 3-D and more lifelike. The Toucan is perched on a branch with its claws gripping the branch to make it seem natural and the tiger has paste paper stripes to give it depth and lounges on the ground in the foreground of the box.

Step 5: Biome construction

Biome #1

Biome#2

Biome #3

Biome#4

Biome#5

Biome # 6

This is my step by step construction of my biome!!!

step 4: Shadow Box exterior

This is the exterior of my box. The front features a palm tree on the left and bengal bamboo on the right. The back has bamboo as well mainly because it was my favorite piece of vegetation that i researched. It is night time so the sky is a bluish purplish black and the ground is supposed to look like soil on the front and vines on the back.

Step 3: My Texture paper collection

These are my texture papers.... Don't laugh I know there terrible but they're the right colors so they should work! My favorite part was when i had mixed all the paste and put it on the papers and then my dog ran outside and felt the need to try and run through the paste but thankfully she didn't get very far. Anyway, this is my attempt at texture paste papers.

Step two of Biome project

Ok these are my thumbnail sketches for my biome. They're kind of terrible and i'm not quite sure if this was what we were supposed to do so if its not email me and tell me. Thanks
