Self portrait1)To develop this drawing it took a lot of practice. We spent a day on every facial feature and placement. This helped during our final so we knew the measurements but the hard thing is getting it to look like you. 2)To get the different values I focused a lot on the shadows of my face and where the light hit my face that's where my highlights were. 3)I got a good range of values around the face really showing the shadows. but on the cheeks and forehead I feel like I could have put more value into it. Value is very necessary in this project because with your nose and lips its not flat so it makes it look lifted. 4)I feel that if I would have spent more time on blending and adding more values it would look more realistic and also more neatly done. 5)To capture my look it was easier to do that with having a photo reference. Even though I had a photo to rely on it was very difficult to actually draw what I see rather than what I think it looks like. 6)It was easier to have correct facial feature placement because we did spend a day in class learning where everything goes and gets placed on the face. During the process I also used this little paper to help with the measurement on the nose. That was helpful but my nose was still a little off. 7)It is very important to learn the facial features individually because they all have certain steps to make them look realistic. Also doing them all different days we got lots of practice with each. We would draw our neighbors and then draw our own and then with the nose and lips we did different angles. 8)I think everything about this unit was beneficial because I got to learn and practice drawing the correct way of all the facial features. Also learned how to make them look really realistic and the more you draw these the better you get. 9)One of my biggest obstacles was getting the shape of my eye right because that really is important in making the drawing looking like you. And everyone's eye shape is different but to overcome that I looked really closely to the picture and practiced more than the others and it got better.
