Q2 Portfolio CPagan

For this quarter I tried to do things a little different. I didn't want to solely focus on portraits like I usually do so I decided that I was going to dabble with different mediums. The first two pictures below are done in marker. I tried to sketch a few objects with marker and was not entirely satisfied with the results. I then tried to work with oil pastels which became increasingly difficult and frustrating because of the texture. Once admitting to myself that I am truly a pencil kind of artist I decided to sketch, however, I still wanted to stay away from the normal portraits so I decided to try different parts of the body and work on my textures. After feeling comfortable that I had made a few good pictures I was in a rut. After a spontaneous suggestion, I then drew cartoon versions of a few of my friends with color pencils. I greatly enjoyed doing this because I had not done some whimsical in awhile and all of my friends loved seeing my versions of them. Overall I think I had a successful second quarter and that I, for the most part, accomplished my goal of trying something different.
