I struggled with thinking of an idea at first, but once I began to draw nature I knew what I wanted to do. Then, it was enjoyable. I really enjoyed using cray pas to add color and blend. The only thing I was upset about was the background and fire, since I was not very sure what to do. I wish I made the background darker and the fire more realistic. I learned a lot about pastels and how to dig deep into my imagination.

This project was my favorite. I love to incorporate people into my art, so this was perfect for me. I used pastels, charcoal pencil, and white pencil in order to achieve this outcome. I called this "Spacing out". I like how there is a combination of reality and fiction. It was fun to draw and I am proud of the outcome. In this project, I learned how to incorporate white pencil into a drawing in order to bring out certain parts of the drawing and help it achieve a three dimensional look.

I struggled a lot with this. I do not like using Sitrisolv, I like to create my own work without any other outside resources. I did like marbleizing the paper, it was fun and creative. For the color, I used cray pas and for the outlines I used Chinese markers. I liked the concept of this project, but I wish I was more precise with drawing the people. It was difficult to draw small things, since the pastels and markers were very dull. I learned how to copy an image onto paper, which was more difficult than I thought.

This was the first time I have ever done any perspective, so I started with one point. I practiced drawing simple skylines with a graphite pencil. I enjoyed doing this, I was succesful with most of my sketches.

I decided to change up the idea and wanted to be more fictional with it. I drew the land floating, with roots coming out. I used an ebony pencil, in order to get the dark background and some shape to the buildings. I enjoyed doing perspective for the first time, but I wish i could have more time to add detail. It was difficult to calculate each angle of every single brick and window. I learned a lot about perspective, since this is the first time I have ever tried it. Before this, I didn't know what one, two, or three point perspective was. I think I have improved and am proud of myself.

I struggled with thinking of an idea for the perspective piece. However, when I was practicing two point for the first time, an idea came to me. I realized buildings are almost always built on wildlife or forest preserves. My idea was to draw a building similar to the school and have vines emerging from the windows, taking over their land. I wanted to draw with ebony pencil, in order to get dark shadows and smooth shading. This is my first part of the project, the beginning sketch.
