Drawing Reflection
This was the first time that i have ever taken a drawing class and spent this much time focusingon technique and texture before but I definitely think it has improved my drawing skills a lot and i enjoy drawing in my sketchbook a lot more even just drawing sketches for school projects has become fun. I worked with value more this year and so i think that I improved in color choice. Im a lot more open to not using black for shading than i used to be. I like using colors like blue a lot more because i feel like it builds to the colors scheme and just makes it cooler.
This semester has been one of my favorite ones specifically because of the people in the class this year. I was in drawing with a lot of people in different grades and some of them were really young but everyone is so talented and it was cool looking at everyone and i wish that we had more time to do critiques because i really like hearing people talk about their pieces and talk about the things they want to change. Stuff like that makes me sad that this is my last year in high school because it would be cool to see all of their pieces in their future classes. I likes when we drew our faces on tacing papers over the skulls that was one of my favorite practices that we did ever. The self portrait project in general was really cool and everyone in the class had really original ideas and did really well on them. I Liked mine because i dont do too many pieces surrounding just me. I think the only reason i like this self portrait is because of my pink hair. I said in my reflection on that piece that i didnt like the background but at this point thats just my signature thing. I never put backgrounds. I wish that i could be more comfortable to step away from realism because i have never successfully developed a style and realism is the only style that im really good at. Im thinking about doing this in my concentration but im not sure if i will. |
