Final Project!

Image
"All The Pieces In My Life" For the self portrait above, the background was to be done about something that represents my personality. So I am in the center, with the people, and things that I enjoy surrounding me. Done in Conte Crayon, and Charcoal. My Very First self portrait! I think this has a little more defining lines, because I drew it from a picture and could see all of the lines in the picture, the Final picture was drawn from a mirror image. So while I think I have improved, I still could use some practice.

Contour Line Drawing of myself! Using pencil, and looking in a mirror. It is amazing how many more things can be seen in a mirror than a posed picture. I am looking a little tired and sad, but that is how I was feeling when drawing myself, so I think I captured it pretty well. It was difficult drawing without using shading. This was my very first self portrait ever, as well as the first one required for the class. I used pencil as well, but was able to do come shading. my hair was longer, and it was drawn from a picture. I do like them both, however I think the second one or contour drawing is more realistic, in part because it was drawn from a live model, not a picture.

Picture Plane

This is a drawing of a grocery bag, done in pencil. I feel like pencil is not my strong medium to work with, but I am still working at it. This is a drawinf of a grocery bag done in conte crayon. I thought this would be a little more difficult to do, because you are not able to erase anything, however I was pleasently surprised that I did not struggle with it.

Plain & Perspective

This is my drawing of One Point Perspective This is my Drawing of a two point perspective This is my drawing of a three point perspective picture This is my drawing of an Ants-eye-view This is my drawing of a birds-eye-view. This picture was really hard for me, and I am still not pleased with it, but because of time constraints, here it is. I think I will try doing a birds-eye-view icture again of something else as a subject to see if I can get the concept down better.

Still Life of shapes, also a design to follow in creating the next image. Here is my still life done in the texture paper created perviously. This was a little difficult for me to create. I really like doing collage work, but this one kind of through me for a loop. I found myself wanting to add pencil to define the shapes and shadows better.
