The colors of the background of my self portrait are chosen as my four favorite colors. I chose to draw me in pencil because I find it better to easier to show detail in the shadows and highlights. I used hatching and shading to fill in my person. I chose this pose because I feel it represents how laid back I am, and I’m holding a book in my left hand (instead of the stick) to show my love for reading.

I used hatching, cross hatching, and some stippling to draw my photo. I used mostly the extra small/small pens and occasionally the fine pen.

Although the process was a bit length due to the short marks, I did enjoy using pastels and colors. I wish I had picked a different picture, though, because creating my own background proved to be a struggle.

Understanding the vanishing point wasn't very difficult, but remembering that I was drawing towards it threw me off sometimes. I understood where to shade, but not what exact shades to use. I'd say my house looks somewhat realistic.

For this drawing I used the black and white charcoal pencils to create the darkness for the shadows and lightness for the highlights. I used a tortillion to blend out the charcoal, and a kneaded eraser to fix anything I made too dark. I had trouble shading the flower because it was mainly white, but not all highlights.

For my self portrait I used a mirror to replicate the features on my face. I used my HB pencil to shade the lights and shadows on my face, while using darker pencils for the hair, nose, eyes, glasses, and lips. I used the shape concept from earlier in the year to make the neck and eyes look realistic.

I used 9 different colored pencils consisting of yellows, blues, greys, black and white. I used shading and hatcheting in order to create my drawing. I layered yellows and greys on top of each other in order to make it darker and create shadows.

I used the hatching method in order to draw the fur of the penguin. Also, I used the shading method for the shadow and ground. I used my kneaded eraser to make the snow show on his feet, and to make the reflection in the eye.

For my drawing, I used my kneaded eraser to make the shade lighter because I made it too dark at the start. Also, I used my lighter pencils to fix it when I erased it too light, and my darker pencils to transition around it.
