Self Half Portrait

Picture
About it:
        My self half portrait is the drawing of the half of my face, the other half is a picture taken during art class. I drew it with different pencils some of then lighters than others. For drawing the half of the portrait i used the rules of proportion so the eyes, mouth, noise and ears will be in the adequate place. The shadow was the most challenging for me and i think that that is the worst part of my project because i should had made them darker. I think that the face looks very dark at one side and light at the other because of the type of pencils i used. I am happy with the result because the half part of my face looks more like me than i think so it will look like when i started.
Reflection:
        After looking over and over again i realized that my half portrait looks good even though there are some things to correct. I put a lot of effort in drawing my face similar to how it looked in the picture. I had trouble doing the shadows and making it look good and with perspective because i was not sure were exactly did the light came from to the photo. The hair was a challenge because it had to look very good so the face can look similar. I think that this project was very fun to do because we can draw ourselves and have fun doing it while also learning about shadows, light

About it:
        My island of mi life is am island that has all of the things i like and that i have lived in my past. I describe my past with drawings and objects, the 15 Christmas with presents means all the Christmas i have lived and the presents i received and how we spent good times in family. There are many symbols that describe who i am as a person and the things i like to do0 in my free time or what are my passions. The colors that i used are also my favorite colors and the island has the form of my initials.  When i was working on the drawing y imagined how i will like my island to be if i have one, so based on that i draw the form and the symbols that represent who i am and what i like.
Reflection:
        I think that my island is very different at other works of my classmates because it is personal and has the things that just i like. The drawing has all my details, all the things i like and the colors i like are used in the drawing so that it looks personal. My opinion is that i think that my island turn out to look very good and how i liked it so be when it was finished with the same colors and the drawings in the specific places. I tried to do a island that represents who i am and when people look at it they can see what i like and what i have lived in the past, i hope i had done a good work and that others like what they see.

Abstract

About it:
        My abstract drawing is personal, it has my touch of color and that makes it different from any other work. I used a lot pointing in my drawing because it is very fun to do it and i had fun making the two colors unified with dots. The worksheet has many shapes and colors. I wanted to make it look very colorful and alive so that its why i used colors as orange, red, yellow instead of dark colors as black. My drawing expresses how i felt in that moment, very happy and having fun, that its why i did the drawing with bright colors and with many shapes. I tried to do my drawing so that it will look as a mixture of colorful candies and shapes, i hope i could have reach my goal of making it look very colorful and fun.
Reflection:
        I think my abstract work seems very alive and colorful and that is what i wanted. I think i achieved my goal with this project because i wanted to make it look good and at the same time that it meets the specifications that we were required to do. I am happy of what the product is and how it looks. It was difficult to fill in all the white spaces of the worksheets so that the project can look better. I had some struggles doing the cross hatching because it was difficult for me do that type. What i found the most fun to do was to draw the lines as we want because we could do what ever we want.
