For this assignment, we were supposed to draw our own eye, lips and nose and use value to make them look realistic. We were also supposed to draw the facial placement, using the eye as a rough measurement of where the facial features were supposed to go.

Here is the finished piece for this project. Questions: Q: Describe the craftsmanship of your drawing. A: I feel as if the craftsmanship of my drawing was well executed, especially with the candy in the plastic bag. I did a better job on the plastic bag than I had originally thought. I didn't do as well on the marble counter, because I didn't have enough time to make it detailed. That is what I would improve on. Q: Describe how your background choices help unify the artwork. A: I think the browns of the marble contrast very well with the multicolored candy. I wish I would have gotten more time to work on the marble, it doesn't look like the best it could be. Q: Describe your choice of colors/color harmonies and how you used them throughout the artwork. A: I think I chose all my colors well. All of the candy has some variation of color, which I like about the piece. All the candies contrast well from each other. Q: How did you create contrast in your drawing? A: I created contrast in my drawing by incorporating shadows and using the pressure of my hand on the pencils. Q: How did you use textures, highlights and shadows to enhance your artwork? A: The highlights and shadows are more apparent in this drawing than the texture. I feel as I took both of them and incorporated them well in my drawing. I would work a little more on the texture of the wrapped candies though. Q: Why did you choose a particular background color to mount your artwork? A: I chose blue because it would contrast well against all the other colors in my piece. Q: Discuss the importance of understanding the media and acquiring the skills necessary to create a successful project. A: It is important to understand the media being used because Prismacolor pencils are different from pastels. Prismacolors are a lot lighter when you first apply them. It is important to use layers when you are shading, and to always keep your pencils sharp. It is important to acquire the skills necessary because that is how a successful project is made. You need to know how to shade, put in highlights, use texture and a lot more to create a good piece. Q: Describe any difficulties you had creating your drawing. What could you do to improve your drawing? A: The most difficult part for me was getting the proportions right and shading the plastic bag. I think I could improve on the marble counter and adding texture to the wrapped candies. Here is the reference photo for this project. Here are the in-progress photos for this project. Click to view:
