I missed 1 or 2 weeks to take pictures, but here I got my project nearly finished. I have added the main pop-outs which are the crossbow, hand, and pen. I wanted to add a background to my project so I added a brick wall and a forest behind a house.

I had now finished the texture and details on my project. I added more shadowing to make it stand out well.

This is my thumbnail sketches before I start my actual project.  I need a sketch that shows emotion, made out of charcoal, simplified technique, and a shattered composition. I had chosen Kanye West to show mood, because Kanye is a celebrity with many moods. And I also have shown the way I will be sketching the shattered on my project.

This is now the start of my actual piece. Here is thumbnail image drawn on cardboard out of charcoal. I chose cardboard because it will have a cool design on the inside of the cardboard for my shattered filter.

Here is the final piece of my art work of Kanye. I had added the shattered filter.

For this assignment I chose the quote "If you can't find something to LIVE for.  You best find something to DIE for" by american rapper Tupac Shakur. I chose this because I feel like it makes sense to die for something you love or believe in.  So here I have a thumbnail sketch of Tupac praying since he was a Christian.

Here is my painting in progress of rapper Tupac. I used a flat canvas and paint because it was assigned.  There are a few details left to this piece to be fixed and added.

The start to my fourth project will be the Lost and Found project. For this project I will create a GMC pick up truck with lost wheels, but found as stolen.

I had started to create background, I had added buildings and a Honda Civic in a back alley with the stolen wheels.

I added more detail to buildings, Honda, GMC, and finally started coloring.

My project was finished. I had added some red coloring to the building, I have no purpose why I chose red and only red. I had also added a red 1990 BMW parked behind the GMC truck. Then i traced everything with sharpie and grayed the road with graphite pencil. This wraps up my fourth project.

This is my last project for first semester. I couldn't capture any pictures of the progress, just the finish. I chose a bird, flower, and lime in the background. I had to make this art work out of ink and water on top of __ paper. Once it dried, I colored it with more colored ink. I had to spread it with a little brush. I then finished by getting rid of some color with some water and pushed it out with a towel.

I think the best growth as an artist is how I started using different types of styles to do my art projects. I would always use normal paper and pencils to draw, but now I began to use different kinds of paint. I learned how to use other platforms like cardboard and those water resistant papers. It was a struggle for me to get used to drawing with other kinds of style of paint and paper, but I managed to work it out all fine. As a Sophomore, Im already thinking about future careers and my family all tell me to use my art skills for use as one of those police officers who doodle an unidentified persons face or get into selling my art work. I am not sure what kind of projects I will have to do to prepare myself to become an officer who draws or a seller. These jobs aren't bad ideas, but this has been my final reflection for semester one of drawing and painting.
