I created a head and base covered with beads, and felt as though having something bigger and more out there for the top of the head was important. It adds a new dimension and creates a contrast between the two.The clouds represent big thoughts and emotions such as being confident and more happy. I liked what this added to the sculpture and would be excited to create something like it again.

So I drew still life (something I am not familiar with at all). I decided to draw one of my pill bottles because my pills are kinda keeping me going and helping me figure stuff out. I didn't really know what to draw and/or how to shade so my page is pretty blank. However, I feel as though it looks okay. I'm not a huge sketch artist so this was out of my comfort zone. However, I did learn a little bit more about taking your time when sketching and using a subject to change the piece instead of it being abstract art.

I created this piece as a way of practicing portraits with colored pencil. The model this piece features has vitiligo, a skin condition where skin loses its pigment causing patches of different colored skin. When I’m doing portraits I like to make sure there is lots of diversity across the pieces because it makes them more interesting. This piece definitely taught me a lot about and highlighted how different skin pigments have to be drawn different ways, like I can’t use the same colors to highlight the lighter skin as I use for the darker skin. Overall, I really like how this piece came out and would like to do more pieces like this in the future.

I like how this drawing turned out but I would really like it if I could add color as well. It feels like it is missing something. I also feel like I could have done something better for the hair. It just seems to blend together and seems like a mess. Although I really like the eyes and the face. I feel like I did the eyes really well. They are in the right place and it works so well. Does anyone have any tips of how to do hair better.

While I like the colorful nature of my piece i feel like the colors are the problem. The background blends in with the still life and makes it hard to distinguish the difference between the background and foreground. How can I use value and shape to help distinguish the foreground from the background?

I feel like there is a lot of open space in my piece that could be filled. Some aspects of my piece are more concentrated than others, and draw the eye of the audience more. What can I do to improve my emphasis?

I feel like my piece is two dementional in some areas and everything seems to be boxy in one way or another. What can i do to improve the depth of my piece?

Note, the drawing was purposefully left incomplete at the time of drawing this. I feel that the structure of the composition, where items are placed, feels off. I also believe that my value scale needs to expand here as well. Is there anything I can do to improve the composition of this piece?

I really like the scissors, but everything else looks really boring. What can I do to improve the interest in this piece?
