Portfolio start..

This is my shadow project thing. I like how this came out. After several layers of pastels and fixatif I finally got it how I wanted. I didn't really want to use any dull colors because I wanted it really bright and to pop, compared to the rest of my stuff. It should be noted: don't ever wear white clothes while working with pastels. D:

This is my "illuminated letter" drawing/painting. I actually really like this, especially for starting and finishing in about 2 days. It did take me a while to get all my items positions on/ around the letter how I wanted to, but I think it turned out nice. I think my favorite part is the letter. I think the shading and highlighting looks pretty good on it, especially since I used colored pencils on that part. Also, I think it's important for everyone to know your heritage, and I didn't know about mine  until I did this project.

This is my watercolor painting of candy. I'm not happy with the thing as a whole, but there are parts of it that I like. Overall, I think this was a fun project. It didn't take me long at all, either, so that's nice. Watercolor pencils are very fun to work with, also. 

 

This is my "magical tree" drawing. I was originally just going to do it in pencil, but charcoal seemed more fitting because I want it to be very dark and creepy. I actually really like this drawing, I've been thinking of making it into a sculpture as well, which would be kind of cool to me. During this project I discovered that charcoal and really bad allergies are not a good mix. Oh well! It turned out nice, to me. (:

Shadow thing.. almost finished I think..

I finished coloring this with pastels and I sprayed it with fixatif to seal it.

Shadow project.. thing...?

This is my "shadow" project thing so far. I finished shading and put workable fixatif on it so I can still work on it without pastel getting all over me. Tomorrow I'll cut it how we're supposed to and then fix up the shading and everything.

New project

I totally forgot to take pictures, but we're working with shadows. The first thing we did was go outside to trace shadows of our head and shoulders and then our hands. Next, we cut them out and traced them (with overlapping) onto a huge piece of watercolor paper. The most recent thing we have done is go over the pencil lines with Sharpie. 

Worked on the dark spots a little more

This is my tree drawing. Almost done ^.^

I really like how this is turning out c:

More progress :D

I am liking how this is turning out. My mom keeps telling me it's too creepy :p
