In our final assignment we were to do a portrait not of ourselves but of someone else. I decided to use my younger sister as my model. I thought it would be nice to capture the opposite gender and a younger person as opposed to say one of my friends, who are mostly 20-something year-old males. I am really happy with how it turned out. I think it’s among my best work and probably my best portrait that I drew.

This might be my favorite piece of work. My third self-portrait is easily me best of the three portraits. My shading is much improved and I think I really managed to capture realism in my drawing. I have had so much fun with the self-portraits and have gotten better with each one, which makes me feel very satisfied with my work.

A much better self-portrait than my first effort. This one looks more human, and I shaded more realistically. I am particularly fond of the hat. I think I showed much improvement over the first self-portrait.

This was the first time I had ever tried to draw a self portrait, or even a face this up-close. I think I did a decent job for it being my first time. There is not enough shading in the face, but my proportions for the most part are pretty accurate.

For this one we had to draw six objects with lots of color. I picked my best two here, which are a camouflage swiss army knife and a giant lollipop. I had a lot of fun doing the colored pencil work.

This assignment was sort of two parts, where we drew four sketches of landscapes and picked our best one to turn in for a separate grade. Since it was all turned in the same week I figured I’d just show the one I turned in. I don’t this piece is particularly bad but I could’ve done a little more work on it, as right now it just looks like something is missing. Some more shading perhaps.

For this assignment we revisited compositions, but this time did it with more complexly shaped objects. I’m happy with how this one came out. The mug is still not exactly how I wanted it, but I still am proud of this one.

For this assignment we had to draw 2 one point, two point and three point perspective drawings. I chose my best one for each perspective. This might have been the assignment I struggled the most with. My lines were not as clean as I wanted them to be and overall I just think I could’ve done better.

For my midterm I chose to draw my cat. Overall I think I did a good job on this assignment. I used a combination of skills learned throughout the class, including drawing with the eraser and levels of shading.

For this assignment we used three different styles of mass and volume, including; negative space, cross contour and light and dark volume. My favorite style was the cross contour.
