Design and produce something with a digital fabrication process (incorporating computer-aided design and manufacturing) not covered in another assignment, documenting the requirements that your assignment
For this week's assignment, the profession was like this
An idea a lot, what I can do this week, and I had many options for this week, there was something I wanted to try very much, which is drawing paintings for one of the cartoon characters, it would have been in a digital way, and immediately the acrylic was the best choice, And this week’s idea that I chose was to draw on clear acrylic and then color it
At first choose the image to draw and then I imported it for software inkscape
At first choose the image to draw and then I imported it for software inkscape
Then I select the image
Then start drawing on the image until I completely complete it, delete the image and I have what I drew
Then save the drawing in dxf format
Then go to Software Coreldraw and prepare the file for cutting and engraving.
Adjust engraving settings in black and the frame of the red for cutting it .
I select the entire image, Then press ctrl + p.
Then press print
Then the process of engraving and cutting begins
Painting coloring time
Firstly, the painting must be completely clean and dry before starting the coloring process
Colors used in the coloring process
Acrylic Colors are water-based paints that are free from toxic substances. As we know there are basic colors which are red, blue and yellow. These primary or primary colors are colors that are not caused by mixing other colors. There are secondary colors, namely green and orange-violet, which result from mixing two primary colors. There are also countless shapes created by mixing a number of colors. Whereas, acrylic colors are available in different sizes and boxes.
Among them are dry and liquid
Dry: (which I used to color my painting) in the form of colored rectangles or circles, dry inside a can then wet with a brush before coloring.
Liquid: to be packed in tubes or small packages such as dyes and colored inks, and diluted with water when coloring as needed.
The most important thing that distinguishes these colors is that they are stable and resistant to water and various weather factors. Although its medium is aqueous and diluted with water during staining, it becomes stable after drying. One of its most important properties is its drying speed, so it should be used directly when placing it on the acrylic . The appropriate amounts of available time must also be determined so that they do not dry out and become useless
From here you can get a good knowledge of acrylic colors and how to color.
