Value portrait

 

1. Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing.

First we had to take pictures as a reference to draw. Once we got the refrences we had to trace over the picture to find all of the values on the face. Once that was finished we went into our sketchbooks and made a portrait with the traced values.

2. Explain how you found the different values in the portrait?

We took the pictures of who we were going to be drawing and traced the values. We did that by going up to a window and looking at the darks and lights and tracing over the shapes we saw. Also we went back over the shapes to outline the darks.

3.  Did you achieve a full range of the different values within your portrait?  How?

Yes I did by shading the diffrent shapes. We also went over the tracing paper on the back with a pencil so it would come off on the sketch book paper.

4. Describe your craftsmanship.  Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly?

In my point of view while I was drawing I felt good. Once the final product came out I didnt feel as confident about the piece. But I do think I did the piece as neatley as I could have.

5. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them.
During the making of this piece I thought it was going well. In the middle of the piece I looked at it and restarted but that looked even worse than my original so when I realized that I went back. I also had the challenge of the eyes because my picture was very dark making it hard to make out the eyes.
