Noah just completed the 4th grade and is our newest Student National Mentor. Noah took DM101 and DPP101 in 3rd grade and then completed DDP101 in 4th grade. Noah and Luke are featured in this month’s news email.
Noah is busy working on his art and applying the techniques he learned in DM101, DPP101 and DDP101.
“My name is Noah. I am 10 years old. I really like making digital artwork on my computer at home. I like making digital art because I want to maybe do something with it in my adult job and it is very fun in my opinion. I have taken 3 YDACS courses which include, DM101 Digital Manga, DPP101 digital photo painting, and DDP101 digital drawing. I thought all of them were very fun and interesting and before taking them I didn’t know a thing about digital artwork on the computer. DDP101 Digital Drawing was my favorite because I thought I learned the most from that course art wise and how to use Inkscape. Thank you for enrolling me to be a SNM.”
Here are some of Noah’s works:
-
- The first thing I’ll post is a couple drawings of a character that I kinda made into my “avatar”. I have three right now witch I just took screenshots of. One character is white other than its shirt. I don’t really know why, I just tried to try something different that I normally don’t do. This character I will probably update in the future. I drew these characters in inkscape.
-
- Character #2 (With color)
-
- Here is some more character designs that I have recently finished. I called them Mr. Cheese and Ms. Cheese. They are suppose to be camera people. I am not that proud of them. They didn’t come out as clean as I wanted. Here they are.

-
- This is a house design that I have drawn. First I drew it on paper than traced it and colored it in Inkscape. I tried to make the windows look a bit real by putting a reflection effect on the windows. I was inspired by a person called “Musketon” http://www.musketon.com. He is a full time illustrator. He made a book called “Vector City” which is 100 drawings of shops, houses, big buildings that he has all put together to make one big city. Here’s my the house.
-
- One of these characters I have already posted but I put backgrounds in back of them. What I did is just draw the backdrop very quickly then blurred them to make it look like its focused on the character. I don’t know, Here it is.
-
- I called this character “Sailor”. To create her I used the program Inkscape. First I got a reference pic of a real person doing this pose and then tried to draw the pose in Inkscape. Next I decided to make her look like a Manga/Anime character (Mostly the shape of her face) After I wanted to design her clothes so I also googled, Anime girl clothes ideas.] finally I added the details and her hair and boots with a strip of pink in her hair to capture the pink vibe of the character. This Character is also on the YDACS Blog but recently updated her to make her look a bit more professional.
-
- Here is one more character that I have drawn on paper than traced and colored in Inkscape. I asked my sister for her thoughts and she says that the character in her opinion reminds her of a sheep. I guess the hair looks like a sheep she said. Here she is.

I’m a big fan of Mr. and Ms. Cheese! They have a lot of personality, and I like their funny camera-cheeseheads. All your artwork is lots of fun and impressive!
