In my graphite self portrait i used different pencils to show my gradient scale. I used 4B for the lighter shades and 6B for the darker ones. I used a blending stump to blend the shades.

In my graphite self portrait I showed my gradient scale by using different pencil. I used 6B for the parts that didn't have a lot of lighting and 2B lightly for the parts that weren't as dark. I used the blending stump (tortillion) to make everything look more settle and smooth.

In my graphite self portrait, i created my gradient scale by using different pencils, i used 6B for the dark parts and that are almost black, i also used 4B and 2B. also used a blending stump to blend everything together.

In my graphite self portrait, i created a gradient scale by selecting different graphite pencils. For much of my portrait, i used 4B and 6B for my hair (which is dark). I think it was harder in the etching because making the different gradient scales blend was very hard, while on the self portrait, it was easy to blend, because we had a blending stump but it took much more time.

In my graphite self portait I showed a gradient scale by using different graphite pencils. I used 2B and B for most of the portrait, but I used a 6B for the very dark parts. It was a lot harder in the etching because you didn't have a blending stump to blend it. The self portrait was easier but it was more time consuming because it was bigger.

In my graphite self portrait, I created a gradient scale by using different pencils for different shades. For my darker colors I used 6b, 4b, and sometimes 2b. For my lighter shades I used 2h HB and sometimes B.Then I used a blending stump to make my face look more natural. Then for my etching self portrait I used a stylus to etch away the black to create different patterns. I think my graphite self portrait was harder but in the end it looked better.

In my graphite self portrait I created the gradient scale by the type of pencil I used. i used B for most of the portrait, but on the very dark parts I used a 6B. In the etching it was a lot harder to show the different shades of color by the amount of space left in between the each line. in the graphite self portrait it was easier to show the different shades.

In my graphite self portrait i showed gradient scale by using different types of graphite pencils using 6b for a dark color/ black and a hb for a lighter color. In the etching self-portrait it was harder to show lighter color being so i had to make lines farther apart and for lighter closer to each other for black no scraping and for white completely removed the black layer. In the graphite self-portrait i could easily make things darker and lighter by erasing and adding more color.

In my graphite self-portrait, I created the gradient scale by using different pencils to make my face while shading to make a value scale. This was different with the etching self-portrait because I needed to make everything shade together in the graphite one but not in the etching self-portrait. And in the etching I used a stylus to scratch away the black and in the graphite I used pencils with different softness.

In my graphite self portrait, i created the gradient scale by using different pencils to create an outline of my face then working my way in to my facial features. Then i used my blending stump to blend the values together to make them look more natural. Then, for the etching self portrait i used a stylus to etch away the black to create color. To show a value scale you use different patterns to show the scale like diagonal lines and dots. I think the graphite self portrait was harder because i had to create a bigger value scale and use different pencils

# data[].attributes.body
In my self portrait, I used the value scale by stretching with different graphite pencils, which created a gradient scale. By using these different pencils, my portrait had detail and good shading. For example, I used 6B to make the dark areas almost black.

In my graphite portrait I used the value scale by etching with different pencils to create a gradient scale and add definition to my facial features. For example I chose a pencil to each color and line. For black I used 6b, for a darker gray color i used 4b, and finally for a light gray I used 2b or b. Also to make the lines look seamless i used my blending stump to help make the picture look more realistic.

To create the value scale with etching i used different grids and lines. If i wanted something to look lighter, i made more lines tighter together. If i wanted the lines to look darker i brought them apart and drew less. For pure white or pure black i filled the part in completely or not at all. When i created the gradient scale for the graphite self portrait i assigned each pencil to a different shade from my posterized photo. For example, if i wanted black i used 6b, if i wanted grey i used 2b, and if i wanted a super light grey i would use an H pencil. I then used my blending stump to make the transitions between the shades more smooth where they had to be, like on my hair

In my graphite portrait I created value by using different pencils that went from 2H-6B. I also created value in my etching. In the etching it was more difficult to show value, but when I wanted it to be lighter I etched more lines than when I wanted it to be darker.

When using a value scale you use different pencils that can make it lighter or darker. You use pencils like HB and 6B to make your drawing. For etching I used a stencil to outline my face. I then took of the piece over it and started shading the darker parts. These two are similar because you have to use different types of shading.

When I was making my self portrait I used many different types pencils to represent each level of the gray-scale, and when I was hatching, I made sure to not hatch off too much because it would be too bright. I used a Blending Stump to merge the lines and make it more realistic.

For my graphite self portrait, I used different pencils to create the outline of my face. Then i started to shade the places of my face. I used the blending stump to create a different shade. For the etching i eased the weight i was putting on to make different shades to outline my face. These two are similar since you have different shades to make, with the weight you put on the utensil.

For my graphite self portrait, I used a few different graphite pencils to create different gradient scales and to create value. Then, I used a blending stump to blend my value together. Then, for the etching self portrait I used a stylus to etch away the dark areas so I could make them a light shade. These two are similar in the way that we were creating value and both had contrast with the dark and light colors.

For my graphite self portrait I used graphite pencils to shade my pictures and make a value scale and I used a blending stump to blend my value scale together. In the etching I used a stylus to etch away the dark areas to make them light and to show medium light I used lines to show it. For both I had to transfer my picture to another piece of paper.

For my graphite I used different pencils to create different gradient level scales. On my etching I used one tool and I spaced out the lines to create different gradient scales.

For my graphite self portraits I used the 6B for the dark areas and 4B to transition to B then HB, which I used for the light areas. I used B for the median areas and the blending stump to smooth out the graphite. For the etching I had trouble on the shading because it is opposite of regular shading and it was hard because you had to etch away the dark area to get lighter shades.

For my etching I used one tool to create my contrast. I spaced out the lines to make the darker shades and I made the lines closer together to make my lighter shades. For my graphite I used multiple tools and shades to create contrast. I

for my graphite i used different pencils to create different scales, but on my etching I traced the outline and only used one tool instead.

For my graphite I used different pencils and a blending stump to make my face have different shades on the etching I used the pencil to create different shades to make it look more realistic

For both the graphite and the etching I took a picture then made it into a grid. Then on the graphite I lightly sketched the outline, same on the etching. Then on the graphite you had to add shade to it and you could always erase it if you messed up. While on the etching you had to take away the black coating and you could not go back after you shaded. I think that I did better on the etching because I am very bad at blending.

# data[].attributes.body
on the etching it was much harder to shade. this was because the only way to shade on the etching was to take off a little more of the black stuff. The graphite was much easier to shade but I fund that it was a lot harder to draw because it was a lot bigger. It was not just tracing you had to make a grid and draw based on the grid. I found that you have to do square by square or you will not be able to get the correct scale.

Between the graphite and the etching self portrait, I had a much easier time with the graphite. You can see in my etching that it is hard to see who it is. The graphite was fairly easy because I outlined my entire face first, then started shading. This differs from others because most just did it box by box while I did it all at once. This helped proportion the scale better.

Between the graphite and etching projects, I had an easier job of creating a good final project on the graphite. The graphite used pencils such as HB and 2b. This was easier than the etching which I used a stylus to etch off the black to make a pattern as seen below. The etching allowed us to sketch the picture to make the shape more realistic. For the graphite, we needed to use scale and proportion to take the regular picture to the next. The graphite took MUCH more time than the etching because of the level of difficulty and patience. We had to use rulers and certain erasers but for the etching, there was mainly only the stylus. They are similar because they both took a picture and or selfie and converted it to make a cool form of art.

Between the etching and the graphite self portraits each had the main goals of making it look like the picture (life like) and using art techniques to shade and fill in all areas of the picture. Although on the etching it was a little easier
because we were able to trace and fill, and the graphite took more time and patience and was harder to draw without tracing and the etching was mainly a way to help with the graphite self portrait

In the etching self portrait I went dark to light in the graphite self portrait I want from light to dark. also in the etching I used different lines rather than changing the shade. I also had to graph my picture onto a bigger piece of paper in the granite portrait.
