These are my shapes from the first day of class. I would like to do these again because I feel like we have worked on blending a lot since then. I think they look okay. I need to work on shadows better. It's so hard for me to decifer what the shape of the shadow should be.
We had to draw a Gatorade bottle with shading and everything. I kind of like my drawing but wish I did it differently. I do not like the shape of it at all. I wish I would have drawn it more like the bottle actually looks. The bottom of the one I drew is very large and I don't like it. I like the shading okay. I don't know know how I would have done it different. Maybe blended it better. I guess the white isn't blended very well. But over all I think the drawing isn't that bad. How did you use your own unique ideas in your work? It was hard to know the exact deminsions for my drawing so I had to wing it. I had to kind of make up in my head how it looked in real life outside of the photo so I could draw it. It was hard to do that because it ended up throwing me off a little bit but I think it worked out well. I also did not have any idea on how to draw trees because in the photo, they are blurry and far away. All I did was just draw a few lines for the shape and I just shaded. I could have maybe done better with that. I liked this project. Did you pick a material or technique that was new or different over something that was familiar? I have never drawn all in pencil before. I really wanted to use prismacolor. I found the pencil would fade and smear with my hand. Some of the parts are hard to even tell that they are there. I wish I could have handled that better. I like drawing a lot and I hope I can get better with graphite. It is much easier to shade with graphite than I thought before and I have learned to shade with it much better than I used to. How is this artwork about who you are or what you like? This is art work is like me in a big way. This picture has my boyfriend handing from a bridge when he was in the Bahamas. His mom took this picture. This picture was my most favorite of all of the pictures I saw from the trip. I loved his smile so much. I was hoping to be able to draw it and give it to his when I was done. I wish the picture would have turned out better but I know he will like it no matter what. |
