I Create Original Art
In the artists observe project we were instructed to take a picture of something that was a location, still life, scenery or object from nature. I always see people on their phones, even when they are charging, so I took a picture of my friend who was typing on their phone while it was plugged into an outlet charging and that was the picture I decided to draw. I also changed the picture a little bit to change it into being my own art. I didn't add any new objects to the picture to make something totally different, I just observed the original picture then changed a few aspects to make it a little different picture. For example, I added nail polish to the hand inferring it was a girl even though the original picture was of a boy's hand. Also the medium I choose to draw in made the boys skin tone look darker than it was in the original picture. Small changes like these can affect the outcome of the overall picture.
I Take Risks
For this project I decided to do the whole drawing using the stippling method. I have never done a large skall drawing in stippling just one small warm-up we were assinged to do. I thought that using stippling would add more creativity and originality to my artwork, I also thought it would be a cool new way to express the shadows in the peice. I knew by taking this risk to do stippling I might not have the patience to finish my drawing but it could also add more originality to my artwork. Overall, I think I did a pretty good job with the stippling affect. At some points I was very frustrated with how certain parts were looking and how the shading was very difficult. I thought it was very hard because you can't undo a mistake when you're using pen like you can if you use pencil as your medium. In general my project turned out almost exactly how I wanted it to, the only thing I would change is being able to represent the shaded areas more easily because it was hard to transition from a light to dark stop when stippling.
