To be completely honest, I think that this is my favorite piece ever. It's a cute small colored pencil drawing of my glasses and a rose I cut from the bush in my front yard. When I was drawing with my Prismas, I knew that I wouldn't be able to get the reality from the rose, but I didn't really care. I just wanted to draw my glasses really. Let me start off withe the things I don't like: the nose pads because they are supposed to be clear, but they turned out yellowish-white; the rose for obvious reasons; the background wall (it's too......non-wally); and the crack in the wall. I couldn't really help any of those bad qualities any more than I tried too. Now for the things I DO like: The colors I put into the frame ( My glasses look silverish when in the light and I definitely showed that in my drawing), the wood on the floor, the actual glass part, the pure white flecks in the glass, and last but not least the shadow. I think I did a pretty good job with making the shadow go over the rose, but I could have made it a little deeper into the rose. I like how there's a little bit of perspective in this. The right ear piece is smaller than the left ear piece because it's farther away from the right one. Overall, I really like how I did this. Definitely one of my favorites!
The week of easter we practiced drawing with Nupastels. I don't like pastels at all so this project wasn't really something I liked, but, however, I did enjoy drawing these eggs. I like the way they turned out. I also don't like using colors that normal people don't see, but with these eggs I really did like using blues and purples and greens. The third picture is my final project for the eggs. I honestly think this is the only project so far where I liked my total outcome. I could have done a better job if I really took my time but, just like all my work, it takes me a while to make something of my standards and I just don't have that time in class or at home so I have to rush myself. I really really like the background I put with my final. I wanted to make the table that the eggs are sitting on more "woody" (as in texturized like wood) but I couldn't figure out how to do that with the big pastels.
