1. Describe the process you went through to change your object into the correct perspective to create the drawing. This is when you were in the lab.
2. How did distorting and stretching the object allow for you to create a drawing that would look different to the viewer?
3. What were the most important concepts in the project to make it successful?

The whole process of making the anamorphosis drawing started on the computer. I had to enlarge and transform the picture and photoshop the top part of the lemonade glass so that whenever i drew it the perspective would be realistic. Next it had to print it out and make a grid scale for it. Drawing the lemonade cup wasn't that hard but coloring it was a little bit more challenging because i had to make it look more realistic than just some cartoon. Instead of simply coloring the picture with the colored pencils, i had to use them to shade, make different values and make lines. The shadow was the last part, where you place the shadow is super important because it's what really makes the drawing look real or not. I had a tough time with the shadow because i was lost on where to place it to make my lemonade look like it was coming off the page. I'm still a little unsatisfied with it, but it's still alright. I think the shadow is one of the most important things and the perspective is the most important. If you can't look at the drawing from a certain angle and see it coming off the page you didn't do a very good job.
