Portrait?

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

     I first had to trace the shapes of the different values in the face, hair, and neck. Then I had to color the back of the tracing paper and transfer the lines from the tracing paper to my Sketchbook. I then had to add the values to the face, hair, and neck.

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

    I taped the tracing paper to the front of the picture. I then used the light from the sun so I could see the different shapes and values. Once I found the shapes, I traced them. It was a little tricky for me, but I got it to work, with help from Mrs. Rossi.

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

     I think I got all of the values into the portrait. I was able to do this by using the picture and my value chart to know what values go where. It was a little hard sense I was only using pencil and I couldn't smudge everything like I wanted, but I did what I could to get it to work.

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

     My craftsmanship is not as neat as I would like, but it is hard to keep the paper clean when there is so much lead on the paper and your hands. Other than that I think my craftsmanship and the artwork itself are rather neat.

5. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them.     The main obstacle was finding the different values in the face. I got over that by using the light from the sun and by getting Mrs. Rossi to help me figure out where I need to focus and get more values from.
