Portrait

For my portrait project, I drew a picture of a girl I saw on Pinterest. I really wanted to try to challenge myself by drawing this, because it's kind of at a weird angle, and she has a lot of natural highlights in her hair that are hard to capture. So in a way, I think that this person represents working hard, and trying your best. I chose to use pencil as my medium, because I wanted to capture as much detail as I could. Using pencil helped me to be able to shade better than I would have shaded with other mediums. Plus, by using pencil, a medium I'm more comfortable with, I was able to challenge myself more with what I would draw. I feel like I did a pretty decent job drawing this portrait. I really enjoyed it. Although I'm okay with my final product, if I were to do it again, I would try harder on proportions. On the mouth, I re-drew it so many times that even though it doesn't look very good, I went with it anyways, because I was tired of drawing the mouth. Overall, I really liked doing this project. ( my phone isn't letting me upload a picture with it but I'll try to on my computer when I get home.)

Quilling

About a week ago, we got to do quilling. Before this project I had no idea what quilling was. When I was told what it was I thought it sounded really boring, and I really didn't want to do it. I did the project anyways and thought it was a really cool idea. I still am not a huge fan of doing the actual quilling, but I think it's a really cool medium!
