I dance with her outside of school and we have been friends since sixth grade!:) I used pencil as my medium. I started by drawing the shape of her body and then her head. Then I added a bit of dimension to her body along with her stripped tank top. After that I drew her face by starting with the eyes and nose and then moving on to the mouth, eyebrows, and nose crinkles/face coloring! I drew her hair black last by using different shades of black to show that her hair was darker, but was not one shade of color. Gabriella had lighter streaks in her hair at the time because it was summer time. I think the shape of her body turned out nicely. I also like the way I did her hair. I want the nose to look differently because she is kinda of on an angle, but I had a little trouble doing that. Then I would change the eyes a bit by making them smaller because they are too big and in the picture I was drawing from a time she was laughing so her eyes were more squinted.

Charcoal Drawing
The pros of charcoal drawing are that the charcoal is fun and easier to blend than other materials and it gives the drawing a little bit of a texture, which I really like. The darkness of the charcoal, when you press it down hard on the paper, gives a nice demension to object and makes it look 3-D. The cons of charcoal drawing are that it is so messy and gets everywhere and it is hard to fix a mistake once you make it. When you press the charcoal down too hard it makes it really hard to make it lighter after that. Warm Up:
The warm up that I think helped me the most was the pastel sphere. This is because it taught me how to add shadows and light spots based from the light is shining on to the object.
Composition: The nature of somethings ingredients. The way in which a whole is made up. Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. Meet Your Mentor
My mentor is Shaley Khoury. She is a senior at Apex High School and is taking Art 4 right now. She loves the medium photography and she also likes to draw buildings in the sky. Her digital portfolio link is Shaelyn-apex-2018.weebly.com. I think I can benefit a lot by this because she gave me such amazing advice about how improve my art. Also having someone who has already taken the class give me advice helps by making me feel like at some point my art could be just as awesome as hers if I really work hard and have fun with it. I want to learn different techniques in art and how I can use those techniques in my pieces. Learning Color/Paint Mixing
I learned how to mix paint colors to form different tints and shades of color. I also learned what colors are mixed to get to another color, for example, yellow, red, and white make orange! Brown Swatches
Brown is made by mixing Orange and Blue, Green and Red, and Purple and Yellow. Brown can be made lighter or darker by adding white or black. |
