i've been trying out new styles, including not using outlines and trying to just draw quickly on the spot without sketching things out first. 

This quarter I worked on what ever I felt like doing. I worked on making a project for my mom and a whole ton of paper cranes.  

For the 4th quarter, I decided to draw one of my favorite characters from my childhood. I drew ButterCup from the Powerpuff Girls.

This quarter i worked really hard and did al lot. I came across a new hobby of mine, knitting scarves. It takes me a long time to finish a scarf, it take me longer to make it an infinity scarf. I gave most of the m as gifts because I will never really need a lot of scarves. This is something I do to help me stay relaxed and calm. I started knitting scarves after I saw a youtube video on it. You could say I copied a sculpture or something I found cool offline.  Another thing that relaxes me is painting, I painted two tiles and I worked really hard on them. Each tile got a base coat and a few coats of the colors shown. The two tiles are of Adventure Time characters Princess Bubblegum and Ice King. I plan on doing more tiles soon. I wanted to do some more collages on photoshop, but since I did not have the program I made the collages on keynote. This took a lot longer because I could not just outline the pictures. I had to alpha and delete the background colors, which was a lot harder. I also painted trees in the different seasons Spring, summer, fall, and winter. I reflected on how I felt during these seasons and put it down on paper. For spring I used cool colors as the background, blue, green and purple. SInce spring is not cold and not hot at the same time, it made sense to me to make the background those colors. I did the same thing for summer, but I use warm colors like red and orange. It might look like the tree is on fire, but that is how I feel during the summer, happy BUT HOT. For fall I used colors that I usually see in fall like reds, greens, oranges and browns. For the winter I made the tree black, mainly because it made the painting look depressing. That is how I usually feel during the winter, especially this past long winter. I feel this way mainly because everything is dead and sad. I really enjoyed doing these projects and I can not wait to do more tiles and other things like that.

This quarter, I decided to try my hand at things that I've never done before. Such as the self portrait, I was never able to do so because every time I tried it didn't come out as nicely as I would want it to. However, after practicing over the years, I finally was able to draw something that looked nice to me. While it's not in depth as it should be because I'm still not so good with art, it is the basic outline of me. I like it a lot because it shows my hard work. 

This quarter I also decided to draw more fun work. I worked to try my hand at more complicated and advanced art, even though it's not perfect. It's still my art work and I'm proud of it.
