One Point Perspective Name Drawing

Oh boy! This project gave me SUCH trouble. I started by making my letters too boxy. I didn't want them to look that way. I also made my name WAY too small. This project was difficult and I would go back in time and make my name curvier and take up more room. I don't think this project turned out as well as I wanted it to but in the end I added cool box-like things to take up room and it made it look a lot better. I would rate myself a 7 on this project.

Two Point Perspective Alma College Drawing

I thought I did very well on this piece. I think that it could look a lot better though if we did'nt have to outline it in ink. As soon as i get one of those fine point pens/markers in my hand I suddenly cannot draw a straight line to save my life. Which shows when you look at the brick ledges toward the bottom of the page. I think that was the most difficult part of the drawing. Along with the railings to the stairs. I would probably go back in time and redo those. They were an awkward shape and I really didn't know how to approach them! I got the job done though and in the end, I'd say I did a pretty good job!

One Point Perspective Hallway Drawing

This project wasn't my favorite to be truthful. I felt that using colored pencils kind of ruined the project. I think I feel that way because I think that sketches always look better. That's my opinion though. This project was difficult because it was hard to include all doorways and to make everything fit where it belongs. You had to make it just the right proportion otherwise nothing would work out. I think I could have taken less time worrying about the size of the door at the end of the hallway and spend more time coloring and adding neater details. I learned from this piece of artwork that taking your time is very important to get a good result. Overall, on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the best and one being the worst, I'd rate myself an 8.

Color Wheel

The color wheel project was very fun. I really enjoyed the painting part of it. The part I would change about this project if i could is the "blue" portion of the wheel. I would change this over everything else because the blue paint i used was very runny and didn't set well on the paper. It was very thin and I applied at least three coats and you can still see the brush lines. I tried making the paint as even as possible and I felt I did a pretty good job at it. I really like how this turned out and it was pretty easy too, which was a huge plus.

Still Life Drawing

  This Project was really difficult to do. Difficult can sometimes be fun though! I felt the hardest thing about this project was the shading. Shading was very important in this piece because if you don't shade properly, it doesn't look realistic and very professional-like. i feel I probably could have taken a little bit more time on the sheet part of this drawing and shaded it better, along with adding better wrinkle lines. That's really the only thing I would change about this project! It turned out very nice and is probably one of the best things I have ever drawn in my life! It was a big success!

Super Hero Gesture Drawing

This piece was also very fun to do. It was more difficult because I had to make sure body parts were proportional to one another. If I could go back in time and change something it would be the upper body and legs of this "action figure". His head is supposed to be lower  so he has no neck and his body is supposed to be more buff. His legs kind of look like frog legs which I would change as well. Id Make them thicker and more muscular. But I guess we all learn from our mistakes. For being the second project we have ever done, I feel was quite successful! Mostly because of my shading I feel. It gave it more demention and made the super hero not get drowned out by the back ground and make it really POP! :)

Pop Can Line Drawing

I worked very hard on this piece really trying to get it to look realistic. I feel I made that happen for the most part. At this point, I think if I was to redo it, I would shade with my pencil to give it more of a three dementional look. I learned to pencil shade after this project though so there is no harm done. The way I drew the lines from the can exactly how i saw them helped a lot. It made it look as if it was actually crunched up! Overall, this piece was really fun to draw, the outcome was great, and I learned that finding the lines in an object helps make an object pop and look real!
