This is the final piece for the portrait project. Questions Q: Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing. A: I first had to find three reference photos to decide what I wanted to do for the project. I picked my favorite, did a practice portrait and then got the drawing paper for the actual final piece. Q: Explain how you found the different values in the portrait. A: Since I shaded my piece in graphite pencil, I decided to make my reference photo black and white. That made it way easier to find the different values in the photo. Q: Did you achieve a full range of the different values within your portrait? How? A: I think I achieved a good range of the different values with my piece. I followed the photograph closely and made sure to layer and blend everything together. Q: Describe your craftsmanship. Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly? A: I feel as if the artwork was executed well. I made sure to use the blending tools and made sure I was layering the various types of graphite on top of each other. Q: How were you able to capture your look? A: I was able to capture my look by paying attention to where the light fell on my face. I payed attention to the shading so it looked realistic. Q: Explain how you made sure you had correct facial feature placement. A: I used the width of the eyes to measure where the other features would go. Q: Explain the importance of learning how to draw all the features individually. A: It is important to learn how to draw the features individually so you can learn how to shade them correctly. If I went into this blind, the piece itself wouldn't have looked as good. I'm glad I got to practice the facial features before-hand. Q: What part of this unit was the most beneficial and why? A: The most beneficial part of the unit was learning how to draw the individual facial features. I really did not know how to draw them before, it was really fun to learn! Q: List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them. A: An obstacle I had to overcome was drawing and shading the hair. Since I have curly hair, I had to make sure I was shading the highlights and dark portions of my hair correctly. I made sure I took my time with drawing it and made sure it looked realistic.
