This was extremely challenging because it merged all the components of drawing work into one project. The drawing was really large and I don't really like to work large, also there are so many details that go into a person other that take so much time. I don't like the way this turned out, it doesn't really look like the person I drew and it's really off proportion. I think that the eye rule for someone's head it smart, but it's really hard to actually capture that in a person when you're working large scale. I really wish this had turned out better. I truly like the idea of a full figure drawing but it is really hard to accomplish. Another thing I struggled with was fully seeing my model constantly. It's hard to have them stay completely still the whole time you're drawing them.
BestFor me I thought the gesture drawings were fun, but challenging. Sometimes when I try to draw something in real life I get a very sketchy style and it makes it look bad, but this was one my later drawings and I like the way it came out, I think it really captured the movement that was happening at that time. WorstThis is my worst for obvious reasons, it was the first one a I did and was supposed to be a sketch of the person sitting across from me. I didn't realize that I was supposed to capture her body and the movement (GESTURE) she was making. Again, this is really sketchy like I said before.
My scratchboard was another project that I liked, I really like the way grasses and prairies look and I really feel like they show a lot of movement. The idea of scratching to reveal white/silver is really cool and reminds me of my childhood when I would scratch a black board to reveal a rainbow color in the back. This was a lot harder. It was a lot like pen and ink in the sense that you cannot remove what you put down, this was hard because I was so used to pencil where I can erase everything that I put on the paper. During our class critic it was pointed out that I should've added more vibrant whites and more highlights, I agree. If I would do this again I would have some fawns (things on the top) that were super zoomed in and large and very white. Overall I liked scratchboard and I would love to have done more with it.
