I used the window and a grid to draw my portrait. I made a light outline between each of the different shades of gray. I had a bit of trouble when I tried to do the mouth and it sort of messed up my drawing. I believe it could have been better if I had done the face first instead of the darker shades.

When drawing a portrait, the best way, to properly proportion it, is to use then grid system. The grid system, is when u print out a photo, of who/what you want to draw, and placing a grid over it.Then you take the paper you are drawing it on, and put a grid under it, and put it on a window, or a light table, so you can see the under grid through the paper.

Throughout the process of making its container I took one of my inspirations, music, and put it into a project that had never done before.  this is the first time that I've ever used papier-mâché and I thought song lyrics of songs that I really liked onto this project. This was a really fun project to do and I think it turned out really well.

After I chose a picture I posterized it and made it black and white. Once I had printed it out, I started drawing. The hardest thing for me to do was the hair. Overall I really liked the project

When I painted the nurse at are school I wanted to smooth the layers out to make it even more realistic. I also decided to do the hair different than it was in the the photo. The hardest part was learning to do the hair. I liked this project and thought it was better than the first one.

instead of doing a self portrait reflection, I continued with my passion project. To start, I taped the soles of the shoes so they could remain white. Next I painted the background of the shoes light gray. After that, I outlined the roses with a pencil. Next I grabbed a shade of red and made it darker and lighter so I could have an ombré from the outside of each pedal to the inside of each pedal. Overall, this was a really fun project and I’m glad I got to do it.

I scaled my picture of a desert to 8x10 and printed it off. I then sketched the major objects in the photo onto an 8x10 poster, from there I traced them onto tracing paper. then I cut out the shapes from newspaper using the tracing paper, and painted them with acrylic paint. I then mod podged the newspaper to the canvas, and painted the rest of the sunset and details with acrylic paint. It was challenging because it was tedious, and I had to take multiple steps to make each piece of my project.

Through this processes i had trouble choosing who to do my portrait of. At first i wanted to do Officer Tim because i thought it was a unique idea, i thought wrong because a lot of people did him. My other option was to do mr. cordell, but someone had already done him, and i like mr. olney and his is one of my favorite teachers.  This process was fun and I thought that i did a good job. To make this I used the shading technique that is used to make graphite images. Using the grid and the original image I scaled it to make the larger image. Also used many of the techniques i used in last semester. I really enjoyed this project!

I had some issues with time, but I finished it in the end. The first thing I did was get my picture and make it black and white. Then I printed it off. The next thing I did was put the transparent graph ontop of my picture and got my scales graph to draw on out. I then started to draw my contour lines, I took several Fay’s to draw my contour lines. This is what made me get behind. Then I shaded, and I was done.

For my portrait I first took some pictures of my older sister Renee on a beach in Costa Rica. Next I use adobe photoshop to grayscale and posterize her picture. Then I printed the new picture out and put a grid on top. Next I put a grid behind a much larger piece of paper so that I could coly each square to the scaled up version of it. I found the most challenging part to be the hair because it was very detailed.

For my portrait I drew Mrs Choi and I started off by taking a picture and putting it into graphite. I then made a grid on one piece of paper and taped another blank sheet on top. Then I started to draw and shade square by square. But I noticed that it was starting to look a bit blocky. So instead I carried on drawing each square but I didn’t shade so that it didn’t look blocky. Finally I shaded in the rest of my portrait.

# data[].attributes.body
For my portrait I started by  finding the picture I wanted to draw and posterizing it and made it black-and-white and increase the brightness so I could see all of the shades in the picture. Next,  I started drawing the outline of my person.  Once I have the basic shape I went square by square two shade using my blending stump to make sure all of the lines were smooth and even. One of  the hardest parts was trying to get the picture to match my drawing,  another was making sure all of my lines were very smooth and even.

For my portrait I started by drawing the outline of the person. The shaded from the head down. My drawings most challenging aspect was when drew shirt there where lots of wrinkles which made it challenging

# data[].attributes.body
For my portrait I found a picture that I wanted to do. First I posterized it and made it black and white and increased the brightness of the picture so I could see the different shades. I taped a pre made grid on to both the picture and my paper. Then I drew the contour lines and shaded.

For my portrait, I first used a strong light so that there can be shadows and then I can shade. Then I took my picture into photoshop and made it black and white. I put my grid I made under the paper so I can see where to draw and shade. I used the smaller picture as a reference. I learned how to shade and draw a person, and use all the tools to shade.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to scale the image up to the size of the final portrait, I gridded the original image and the final paper. I then transferred the shades of the original onto the final at 1.5 times the size. It is challenging to find the right pressure to make a given shade, so I used trial and error to solve that.

Throughout this processes i had trouble choosing who to do my portrait of. I chose to do a funny picture of one of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Hursh. This process was fun and I thought that i did a good job. To make this I used the shading technique that is used to make graphite images. Using the grid and the original image I scaled it to make the larger image.

# data[].attributes.body
In this project I feel like I got a lot better at shading. I also feel like I did a good job because of the grid. The grid really helped and made it way easier.

# data[].attributes.body
For my portrait I decided to draw Me. Legleiter. I used five different levels of shading to design the textures of his face accurately. I started out by outlining the different textures of his face. Then I shaded those textures with different levels of shading. Finally I blended my design. In this project I learned how to shade and design textures of a face. I enjoyed doing this project

My process was first, finding a picture of Mr. Newell. Then, I made the image black and white using grayscale, and posterized the image. Then I printed it out and laid a grid over it. I practiced using a small piece of paper, and then moved onto the real thing. The real thing was bigger and I would be unable to trace it. I started with the easy area that were just black and used a 6b pencil to make dark. I didn't really know how to shade so I just used the blender and kept what worked. One of the problems I found was the beard and mustache. I fixed this by going over lightly and then doing darker lines for the hair. Then I finished my picture and hung it up.

# data[].attributes.body
I first started by getting a picture of Mrs. Kotich that had a strong light and shadows. This is made me have to learn how to shade and blind. I watched the videos on WEvideo to show how to shade and answered questions, this helped me learn how to shade and the different techniques. After turning in and competing the circles I got a better understanding of how  to shade. When I completed my portrait I wish I watched the video and chose a different image because it was hard to do the hand and shirt Mrs. Kotich had on. Overall it was a fun project and I loved shading.

My process to creating my graphite portrait was finding an image of Hursh, then uploaded it to photoshop and made it posterized, printed it out, created a 16x20 grid, and drew my image on the big paper. I shaded as I drew into a scale of 6. I faced the challenge of blending my colors, but I overcame this by using my blending stump.

# data[].attributes.body
For my portrait I decided to draw Ms. Kotich. I use photoshop to edit my picture and I created a graph. I used a window to use the graph to trace my picture. I shaded the picture after I traced it. One problem that I had was making lighter parts of my portrait. I solved this problem by using a blending tool.

For my portrait project, I decided to shade a picture of Officer Tim. The process of this project is having the correct materials and steps to create this graphite shading project. Our class watched a we video then separately answered questions about the video of teaching us shading techniques. To make this portrait a little more accurate, we used a scaling grid, making the final portrait bigger scale than the printed picture. Some challenges that I had ran into were not being able to blend a certain area. I solved this problem by trying a darker shade making the places around it darker so I would be blended better. Overall, I learned a lot, like how to shade with realistic drawings. I really enjoyed this project and I will keep these skills to make better art in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this project a lot. Even though mine is not the best I learned different ways to share and do portraits. Overall I learned a lot from this and it was really a good experience. The first thing we did the graph then it was all toning from there

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to do a picture of Mr. Stintzi for my portrait. I first went into photoshop to edit my image. I cropped it, converted it to black and white, increase the brightness, and posterized it. After that, I put my paper on top of a grid and put a grid on top of my reference photo to enlarge it. I then went square by square along the grid and copied it onto the larger paper. Some struggles that I faced were blending the graphite so you couldn't see the pencil marks and making sure it looked like Mr. Stintzi.

# data[].attributes.body
As I was shading I learned how to combine different shades together. The background was very easy to shade and the hardest part was the eyes and lips because of different shades on different parts.

For my portrait, I drew Audrey Patterson and she drew me. We spent a whole day taking pictures, and we finally chose one for each other. We already had a grid made for behind the paper. We taped the papers up to the window so we could see the grid behind. We drew the picture based on the picture we printed out and shaded where it was shaded. I am satisfied with the outcome. It took me a really long time.

# data[].attributes.body
First I took my picture using strong light.  Then I used Adobe photoshop to get the photo ready to use. Then I printed it out and placed the grid over it.  I put my final draft paper on top of a premade grid.  I put the paper against a window and drew the contour drawing. By using the grid it was easy to scale. Then I shaded in my drawing using different pencils. I used a blending stump to blend everything together. I blended out the corners and hung it up

# data[].attributes.body
For my portrait, I first took a picture using a strong light so that there would be a lot of shadows and therefore opportunities to shade. Then I edited my picture and turned it black and white. Then I put a grid on it and also put a grade under my final paper. I referenced the smaller grid placed on my picture to help me outline and shade my portrait. I learned how to shade and use all the different types of pencils, blending tools, and erasers.

# data[].attributes.body
While I was creating my portraits, I faced a challenge with the left eye where it did not lol quite right, so I fixed it by taking it slowly and making sure the eye was proportional to the face. The steps to making the portrait were simple: first, you had to choose, crop, and turn the photo into a black and white image. Once you printed it out, you must place a transparent grid sheet over it and a grid under your final draft. Then, start drawing the outline. Once the outline isn’t finished, start to shade. As soon as you are done shading, you are finished and you can hang your portrait. Overall, I liked drawing the graphite portrait.

I did my portrait on Mr. Kanan. I had a picture of Kanan and I put a grid over it. On my paper I put a grid behind it and started to sketch my design on a light box. The struggles I had were making the light parts of the picture light enough what I did was use a blender and that made light lines

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to shade, what pencils to use and how make eyes and mouths look better

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to shade and that drawing lips and teeth is frustrating but if you put the work in you can get it done!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
First i printed out my picture that i would be drawing then i graphed it out. After i graphed it out i began drawing. I used graphite pencils which made it so much easier to blend. Overall i loved this project and learned a lot about shading and realistic drawing.

# data[].attributes.body
first i printed my inspiration out and gridded it, then i put a grid on the piece of paper that i am going to draw on, then i outlines the building, after i used pastel chalk and drew the sun set and then colored in the building, finally i spray it with chalk spray so it wouldn’t smear. i really liked this project because i was allowed to choose what i wanted to draw so i could have more fun with it!!

First I outlined the shape of my portrait. It was a little tough but it helped to use a grid and put the squares in place. I used the grid to scale my picture and create each square. One challenge was making my eye. My solution for this was to use the grid finder  to help me

# data[].attributes.body
I started by finding the picture I wanted to get and editing it in photoshop. After that, I drew the outline and started to shade. After I shaded, I cleaned it up and hung it up in the wall. I am proud of my drawing and I think it turned out pretty good.

# data[].attributes.body
we started by getting a pitcher and posterizing it.  then we put a grid over it, with an inlarved grid as our paper. we went square by square, filling in the shading of each square. adding more detail if it needs it.

First off we chose a photo we liked of our selfs and put it in black and white and printed it out. Next we outlined it on a graph then we got a bigger piece of paper and make a grid and traced the photo we outlined onto the big piece then we shaded the drawing and glued it to the black paper

# data[].attributes.body
We first choose a picture and printed it out. We then put a clear grid on top of are picture. We them outlined the main points on our picture on a different paper. After that we got a bigger picture, outlined it and shaded it.

For this project we started with chowing a photo of our self’s we wanted to draw. We went on the computer and changed the photo to black and white and the shade of it. Then we printed it and traced the basic outline. After that we attached a grid. From there we used the penciles to enlarge our  photo. A challenge I faced was my hand, I had trouble getting it to look right. Then I got some help and used a grid finder to do my hand. Towards the end it really came together and I am very proud of it.

# data[].attributes.body
First we would find a picture then postersize it. Next we would divide it into squares. After that we would do a basic out of the main shapes in the picture. Then we would slowly shade it to match the shading in the photo. A challenge I faced last time was the squares but this time we used a pice of paper under it instead of drawing the squares on the drawing which made it look a lot better. I enjoyed this project.

For this portrait, I had a little trouble finding a good angle for my photo. With a little help, I got a good angle and I printed off my photo. I taped a grid to it and the drawing process began! As I was shading, I faced the challenge of making my ovals round. The grid really helped me overcome this challenge. I found that the shading was very time consuming near the end of my process. Although, I am satisfied with my outcome.
