This is a charcoal drawing I did of myself using charcoal of course. This image is supposed to represent me in the picture below. I learned to draw with charcoal when doing this drawing and that it is very messy to use and hard not to smudge. I used value, color, lines, contrast, form, and shape. This drawing just reminds me of me and the time I spent working on my drawings that depict me.

This is my self portrait based off the picture below. I used pencil  to draw myself as portrayed in that picture. A new skill I gained was the ability to use proper proportions and placement of structures on the face and head. Form,shape, line, and value are the art elements that I used during this drawing. This reminds me of the summer when I took this picture for my senior pictures for the school.

While drawing the human head skull and measurement drawing I learned quite a few things. The side of the head is much wider than most of us perceive in our drawings it's around six inches wide. Also the human face that we all draw and perceive as round is actually not round. The eyes are one eye length away from each other and the side of your head, the ears start at the top of the eyes and end around the end of the nose. The neck starts by the ears and I never really thought of it that way. The eyes are round on top and flat on the bottom with  the iris as a round inside the eye to make the eye glassy you don't shade it in on the way with light shading. This is what I learned while drawing the human head and face.

In this drawing I used measurements taken of my head to help represent a lifelike size of my head in drawing form. I learned a lot about the size of my face and how everything I'd proportionate and line up even at a side shot. Everything was measured out to help perfectly represent the size of my head and face.

In this drawing I used a picture as a reference to draw a skull that is lined up and the same size from both angles. I learned that the structure of the skull has a larger backside than I had already known. The structure leaves space for eyes and the nose but I am not aware if the cracks in the skull are normal for everyone.

This is my impressionist landscape drawing which i used oil pastels to replicate through my own vision the lake I visited on a trip in Leavenworth, WA. A new skill I gained on while working on this was shading with complementary colors. The art elements that I used in this are: form, color, value, space, and line. This reminds me of the summer trip I took up to this lake and all the memories that come with it.
