I felt like the colours worked well, and it really brought the piece to life. My colour scheme was cool colours, and analogous colours. Yes. I do believe this shows contour lines, as you can see the sharpie outlines, and the lines in the background. I tried very hard to create this piece, since contour lines, and water colour really isn't in my comfort zone.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t enjoy this as much as painting as I am not so confident on my drawings

Something I liked about contour drawing was it improved my ability to focus and observe the topic I was drawing. Something that I didn't like about it was because i couldn't look at my paper, my drawing often did not look like the thing I was trying to draw.

This activity improved my art skills by teaching my hand eye cordination 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I didn’t really like it because it was very hard. It was hard to not look at my page and not to lift my pencil, this one of my hand was the best one I made.

I was not a fan of contour drawing because it made me very frustrated because it did not have the detail I wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't like doing the contour drawing because it was hard to add detail.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I liked about contour drawing was that it is something that we don’t always do. Something I didn’t like about blind contour was that I wasn’t in control of what I was drawing.

# data[].attributes.body
Contour drawing is a really cool method to draw and I enjoyed it a lot but I think that contour drawing is quite difficult. When drawing someone, you can never get their exact features so it was very hard to actually know what your drawing. With all the struggles, I still enjoyed the process of being able to draw continuously.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked about contour is that it can turn into anything once you start

# data[].attributes.body
I was not a fan of contour drawing because it made me feel like my pencil was stuck to the paper and didn't give me freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
What I enjoyed about contour drawing was that my drawings weren’t the worst relative to others. It makes me have faith in my art skills, however, what I did not like was the fact that it will look odd, because I can never get a perfect art piece.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this project because it is a fun challenge and there are different variations to the ways you can do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I did my portrait of Steven. I didn’t like contour because we couldn’t sketch because I really don’t like the pencil effect from contour drawing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think contour drawing is a really interesting drawing method. I did not enjoy it that much because you didn't have a lot of freedom and it was very hard. However, I think it has an interesting effect.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked about this technique was the freedom to make mistakes and have a more abstract approach when drawing. It was a more unique way to turn a basic drawing into something more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I did enjoy contour drawing, although I found blind contour drawing very hard. I didn't know where my pencil was. So, I didn't know what I was drawing, causing me to draw lines in the wrong place.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I like contour drawings because they are so free, and making one is really easy, since there are almost no limitations to what you can do. 

# data[].attributes.body
In all reality, I think contour drawing, especially blind contour drawing, is quite a fun way of relaxation and an easy way for beginners to start learning sketch and more advanced art forms. Though arguably more realistic than... some other forms of modern art, it is still a very fluid art form, and it can turn out very well if done in the right way. Otherwise, it is just quite an exotic art form.

# data[].attributes.body
I actually seriously adore this one. The titled face adds effect, and the eyebrows make the entire piece feel darker... the amount of monet is tangible in this piece. This belongs in a museum. 3,458.3/10

# data[].attributes.body
I was super glad about the result of my piece. It was simple, minimalistic and represented the contour lines. I worked hard to get the exact shape of my eyes and put an effort in my work. I used an analogous colour pallet with the base colour of blue. Overall, I am very happy with my art work.

# data[].attributes.body
What worked well was blending the color in the hair. my piece shows some contour lines in the background and shoulders. I put quite a fair bit of effort into the design and color blending.

# data[].attributes.body
Great work Callum, I can tell you put in work on this piece.

# data[].attributes.body
What worked well about this project was the use of cool colours and an analogous colour scheme that allowed the piece to flow effortlessly. The evidence of contour lines is through the use of continuous contour lines throughout the whole portrait. I feel that I put a lot of effort into the whole process and am pleased with how the piece turned out.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my self portrait, I think what worked well was the colours and how they were able to blend with each other. My colour scheme was complimentary because the blue and purple of my skin was on the opposite side of the colour wheel when compared to the red and yellow of my mask, hair and shirt. I think that I used contour lines because it was mostly one line and there was also no sketching involved in the process. I think I used a lot of effort when making this because I was focused and tried my best.

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece I think the colours coming together work very well because there are well blended. The colours I used was orange, purple, and blue. My piece does show contour line. I put a lot of effort in the piece and I am very proud of myself.

# data[].attributes.body
The color scheme works very well with the drawing. -Callum

I love your piece it looks like you put a lot of effort into it

# data[].attributes.body
Your piece is so good I love the colours.

Something that worked well was my colour scheme which was a warm. This drawing shows contour lines throughout the whole drawing. Overall I think I had a very high effort level.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the geometric shapes in the background!

# data[].attributes.body
What worked well was the bleeding with the coloured pencils which took up most of my colouring. I put alot of effort into the hair blending and the colour

# data[].attributes.body
The piece looks great. I really like how you blended the hair and mask as it added more depth.

I love the overall look of the piece and how they have distressed lines, it makes the piece look very intricate and beautiful.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the way your eyes are looking as well as the colour scheme

# data[].attributes.body
When I created this piece, I noticed that adding water eliminated any pencil lines, and made the colours pop. The colour scheme I went for was analogous. My art shows a lot of contour lines, as most of the portrait is one line, and combines the art. I would say I put a lot of effort into this portrait, as I thought a lot about each detail I added.

# data[].attributes.body
I love how you used multiple different colours from different sides of the pallets, it looks amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that blending my hair color worked well. My color scheme was cool colors that are analogous. My piece shows contour lines though the whole drawing. I think I put the most effort into drawing the face shape and my hair.

# data[].attributes.body
I was using both warm and cold for the colour scheme. Something I thought that worked well was drawing my hair, it was a lot easier than I thought. It does show a contour line it’s easiest to see in the middle, you can see how the eyebrows and nose connect together very easily. My effort level was off the charts

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the colour on my piece worked very well. The colour Scheme of my piece is cool it shows colours like light blue, blue, and turquoise and shows my makes my piece stand out by the colour. My piece shows contour lines, in the hair, also in the eyes connecting with the nose. I feel like my effort on my piece was good I really put in work, and didn’t get distracted while working today.

# data[].attributes.body
Very good colour scheme Nico, the colour makes the piece stand out.

What I find worked well was that I kinda got the shape of my art piece. I used a complementary color scheme, with yellow and purple, but also with grey. I think it shows contour line, as the eyebrows are connected to the nose which is connected to the mask etc. I think I spent some effort on this piece, and was pretty happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like my portrait as I worked really hard to make it look good and keep the proportions the same as my own face. My Colour scheme is warm colours which consist of red, orange, yellow, and pink. I also added a teal like blue to my artwork and the mask to make it the focal point of the art piece. I was able to show contour line by using sharpie, I was able to use the thicker sharpie to show A focal point on the lower neck as a contour line.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like yours colour scheme and I can also tell that you were able to use contour line in your portrait.

1. What did I think went well.
I think the shading with watercolor pencils on the blazer worked the best. It created a very smooth and pleasant texture that looks realistic and also charming in a way. According to Josiah it looked like "Computer art."
2. Color scheme
I decided to go with a complementary color scheme by contrasting crimson red and red-orange with dark blue. Why did I choose such colors? Crimson is my favorite color and dark blue was my favorite color. I also think it goes well with the context at hand.
3. Contour line
This is, in fact, a single continuous line in many places. I think I started the line at the blazer and you can see that I ended the line at the top where it is shown clearly. I also went over it with sharpie, which sadly was not a continuous line.
4. Effort level
Art to me is not very difficult, and I found this piece to flow very well. I executed most steps nicely and I was proud of the result in the end. I always take a chill and calm attitude to art as I find that being stressed decreases the end product's quality. Overall, it's kind of hard to rate how much effort I put into it as it felt kind of like playing a game or listening to music... but I would say I did indeed try. So did use effort? Yes, of course, but it did not feel forced, almost like playing a video game or such.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the angry look. Very emotionally expressive. 19.5/10

# data[].attributes.body
The color scheme is fantastic and helps the eyes and mask pop out greatly. The hair and the lines on the face add a great deal of effect and atmosphere in this piece. Better than most modern artists, I must say. Got to give this one a 41k/10.

# data[].attributes.body
Two things that worked well were the analogous colors I chose, purple and blue, and turquoise. I also had yellow, orange, and red. Complementary colors were present; they were purple and yellow. One thing I could have done better was that I could have blended the warm colors in my background more to make the transition smoother. I did run out of time which is why I didn’t do it. My painting does show contour line, although the lines in my hair were broken lines. I would say my effort level was 9.5/10 because I didn’t chat much and was focused almost all the time. I don't know how I can upload two images in one post. So, the colorless image of my self-portrait is attached to this post and the post below is my final product.

I like how you used lines in the shape of your face outside to direct the audience's eye towards the focal point of your image: your face. This is a great idea! - Grace

# data[].attributes.body
I love your choice of warm colours and cool colours! One thing you could add is a background. I think it could help bring attention to your focal point, the mask. - Grace

# data[].attributes.body
Contour drawing was fun, but as depicted not the most flattering style it seems.

# data[].attributes.body
My drawing did not come out the way I had hoped, I planned for a lot more. It’s looked similar but I wanted it to be better, but hey; what can you do? I wish I could have blended the colours more. The colours are all warm, and I went with a warm colour scheme. I tried to get more detail in the hair by some black outlines. Overall I am not completely happy with this.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I think worked well was how the shirt ends up being part of the background. I started with a warm colour scheme (pink and yellow) but I darker the pink to more of a magenta making it more of a complementary colour scheme. I removed some of the lines where I went back and forth to make it look more clean and neat. 4/5 watercolour pencil crayons was awful and messy, I could have done that a lot better

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you used warm colours for the background and cool colours for the face. If you made the background less vibrant it would add attention to the face/focus point

# data[].attributes.body
I love the background and the use of complementary colours. I don’t think I would change anything.

I like how you used the contour lines for the mask and clothing it’s beautiful

Levi, this doesn't have much evidence of contour drawing. You stayed mostly with outline and made it up. You did not observe your face as closely as you should have. You are also missing the other contour drawing (hand, flower or face) so are losing points for that.
