The web thing |
An important part of why I am taking this class is to develop my art/drawing skills. With this piece, I feel that I was really able to hone in my skills with shading and adding depth with contours. When I started drawing, I was afraid I would make the shadows too big and the surrounding areas too dark. After a while I became much more comfortable with my values and adding darkness to contrast highlights.
I collaborated with my colleague, McKayla, who really encouraged me to push my line values and shading. Just as well, she encouraged me to think outside the box with the content of my drawing because all of my other ideas were "too cliche". She explained to me that every other student in the class was drawing a portrait of them ripping the skin off their faces. At the time I had thought this was a pretty creative idea. She was actually the one whose fist was used in the reference photo One obstacle I faced along the way was drawing eyes. I had always found drawing eyes to be tedious. Just as well, people have a tendency to focus too heavily on the eyes, making them seem like a drawing of their own or even being too big. I took a risk by doing a portrait where I had my eyes closed. It made the piece easier to draw without taking away from the overall content.
