Value Portraits

Okay. So. For this value portrait thing, I need to do self-evaluation questions, at least three sentences. Thanks Mr. Sands. Just how I wanted to spend my morning. I'll try to make it interesting in the, what, 40 minutes I have left? While doing German homework. WHELP.

I need tea.

Her hidden eye is scaring me.

1. Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing.
...Sigh.Okay. So our teacher took black and white pictures of us, with the projector light shining on the side of our face so that we had plenty of shadows to work with. Then he printed out the pictures and we each got one of a student that wasn't, well, ourself. On tracing paper, we then made an outline of all the shapes, before coloring in the back, and redrawing over our lines over our sketchbook in order to put the lines themselves onto the sketchbook paper. And then we shaded and bended and yeah.

2. Explain how your found the different values of the portrait.
Uh. Okay. Basically I looked for areas with higher and lower contrast. I didn't blend the area with higher contrast while blending the areas with lower contrast. And this is a third sentence.

3. Did you achieve a full range of values in your portrait? How?
Through the magic of friendship. It is a very potent magic with the ability to-- *cough* You don't need to know that. Uh. Yes I did. Did dark where dark was, light where light was. Blending to get in-between shades.

4. Describe your craftmanship. Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly?
Oh for the love of. Yeah. I did all right. Uhhhhh I couldn't blend all the pencil strokes that well, and her hidden eye looks a lot more creepy than it should. I do like how her hair came out though. And it's relatively neat.

5. List any obstacles you've had to overcome and how you dealt with them.
HECK NAW. I'M F L A W L E S S. But serioiusly. Uhhh. I had problems at first with putting all the shapes together and shading it in a way so it made a face. And evening out her eyes. Cue erasing and reshading and yesh.

So yeah.
