Quarter 3 Art - Dakota Foster

For this quarter, I didn't enjoy doing the drawings so much. Drawing people is very hard for me and takes a lot of time. I want it to be perfect but I can not get it there. However, I did like drawing with the colored pencils and not using a regular pencil at all. The pictures were more vivid and they made me smile because they were silly looking. For the lessons that had the people in them, it took me a lot of time to do. I wanted the proportions to be correct. Before when doing the shading, I couldn't ever get it right but with these lessons I started to get better at shading. The shading techniques were broken down better in these lessons and I started to grasp the idea of following where the light source is coming from to show the different highlights in the shading. My favorite drawing this time has to be drawing the hair in the man's face. It was so cute and the shading was broken down for me. I felt like I did a lot better this quarter. Also, to go with my drawings - I have some paintings that I have been doing. Hope you like it!
