I chose the original piece of artwork that I did because during that time, only the rich could get their protraits painted and generally in those portraits they would show off their wealth by wearing beautiful attires. In the piece I chose, the man doesn’t wear anything special, in fact, he looks quite ordinary. Not sure if it was the fashion back then but my intake is that he is a humble person and I like that about him.

I did enjoy using pen and ink as a drawing medium because it opened up a new aspect of art. It was kind of difficult to develop a range of values bc the ink is very dark and it does not have the range of shades pencils have, but it was still fun. The most difficult part was knowing that if i made a mistake, I cannot fix it.

The sketching part of this project was a little easier than the shading part. It took me a while to get the proportions right because I was a little confused with the ruler and messed up my measurements, but with a little help, I overcame the confusion with my measurements. The shading was a little difficult for me because the picture doesn’t show many accurate shadings and I’m not good at judging where the lights and darks are myself. But, I tried my best.

The difficult part of this project was trying to convert the of the objects’ colors into black and white values, but I’m somewhat satisfied with the outcome of my artwork. Working on this project expanded my knowledge of color values.
