But I DISREGARDED the ANAMORPHOSES! Next time, I'll write it closer to the bottom. To use my basketball as an example, I wrote 'SPALDING' in the exact middle- proportionate to where it 'should' be according to my print out. If you'd like something like text to appear readable to the viewer it tends to be in the bottom-most quarter of the baguette (the part closes to the viewer, the furthest part being the quarter that recedes most into space). In my future of sphere drawing this is what I will keep in mind and what I will now pass on to you: After you've figured out your long oblong shape (think of a vertical french baguette) divide it into 4 parts from top to bottom. I happened to use the wrong proportion with this particular project, but it came out nonetheless (what art is wrong or right anyway?). Yay, discovery learning! When doing a spherical 3D shape, ONE- remember to refer back to either your print-out or your tripod-based viewfinder, and TWO- REMEMBER PROPORTION. SO, here's what I learned during this step. So for base colors-cool, for detail you want to pop- not cool. I strongly encourage experimentation ) pps- Though I used the palm of my hand to spread the color, it'll quickly dilute the color. ps- I used whatever I had on me (some old color oil pastels) and had the boy pick up a few chalk and charcoal pastels just so we could play with some options. That way you can take the extra step of stepping back and checking the accuracy of your shape before adding in all your painful detailing. I suggest using a color not so bold at first, something that might be close to street color but still distinguishable. It takes a LOT of chalk and chalk dust to fill that in- the good thing is that this image is meant to be seen from standing distance so already your eye will do some filling in as well (most 3D anamorphic street artists seem to use sidewalks or large plaza settings with smoother stone surfaces). If you're using a street like I did, up-close you'll see those valleys between the little bumpies become enormous.
