ZAYD BUT BLASE!

Though it does not look like the person that I wanted to draw, I tried my best and as long as I tried, I'm satisfied. I do what I can put on stage and this is what I'm proud of. I was actually concentrated on making it look like a human and nothing else. I kept focused in achieving what I set for myself in the beginning. I did not know I can draw a whole entire body figure and I doubted myself in the beginning and had no hope. But I learned how to try new things and go for it because life is full of challenges and I set myself to a challenge and I fell great with the outcome.

    To start off, I did not know whom to draw. I think it makes a big deal for me because to be honest, I was not able to draw with the class on a model but rather chose a friend of mine whom was awfully too kind to participate and drew him. With that being said, the pose was a major factor for me. I felt as though I wanted to draw him at a different view rather than a front view. I felt as though, I can accomplish more when drawing a side view but can also put a challenge for myself. So I used a pastel and normally when I draw in general, I would use either a sharpie or a pencil but not pastel. I never really worked with them. I wanted to start of light, just in case I messed up on something. When I was satisfied with my sketch, I darken my lines to have definition. I then used a lighter green color than the color I used and used it as a high-lighter for some edges to be open and noticeable in my drawing.

While working on this assignment, I grew confidence in myself, that I can draw what I please if I put my mind to it. During the whole process of drawing this figure, I learned how to shade and highlight important details and I'm still learning. I like shading and highlighting in pictures to show definition and the right exposure that it needs to have.
