Taylor Swift...

Picture
This project was about drawing someone, not with simple lines but with letters. I decided to choose the famous country singer Taylor Swift . For this project the materials were basic, all I used was bond paper to draw, a black pen and then paper cardborad to decorate it. Since we could only draw our person with letters and I was drawing Taylor Swift, i decided to use the lyrics of her song, "Love Story" to fill in the lines. The first thing I did, was take a picture of the character I was going to draw. Second, I had to draw her in the bond paper with a pencil. Afterwards, I wrote on top of the lines with a pen until the drawing was complete. Once this was done, I erased the pencil lines drawn at the beggining and then cut it and pasted it onto this paper  cardboard to decorate it. I added a title and the project was completed.
 
This project was not very difficult for me and I actually enjoyed  doing it. In my opinion, the hardest part about this project was when I had to draw the shape of her by copying it from the original picture. This was also the most important part because people need to recognize teh character I am drawing and if thebasic shape of her was not well drawn, then after filling it with the letters and everything, it wouldn look good. At the end, I think I did it well becuase without showing or saying who it was, my friends recognized who it was when I asked them.



Picture from a Magazine...

This project was very fun and depended on everybodys originality. The materials i used to complete this project were the following: an  A3 cardboard, markers, pencils, a magazine, glue and scissors What we had to do was pick any object we  wanted from a magazine and cut it out. We had to paste it to a cardboard. Then, you had to complete the picture and draw anything you wanted that went along with the picture from the magazine. In this case, I chose the face of a woman  and i decided to draw her hair but in a very wild way. After this, i colored it with color pencils and traced the lines with markers so it looks more clear.

This project was actually very simple. The hardest part of it was at the beggining when i had to choose. since the topic was free and we have so many options to choose from by picking anyhting from magazines i couldnt very easily decide what to do. But once i decided what i was going to do, it was easy. I think i did a good job at completing the picture becuase the face of this woman, especially in her eyes she has a very strong look so by making the hair so wild, i think it complements her face.


Someone´s face...

Picture
This project was simple but very difficult for me. This only consisted on painting the face of any person. Th only materials we used were a normal sized bond paper and a pencil. The first step to complete this project was to draw a square in the center of the paper, in this square we divided it so that the eyes, the lips ,the nose and the forehead were located in the right place and the face looked proportional. Once this was ready, i begun to draw all the parts of the face. When all the face was done, i did the hair and tried to make it look as real as posible.

This was one of the hardest projects for me becuase i am not good at drawing faces so this was definitely a challenge for me. Drawing all the parats of the face, the eyes, the mouth, the nose were really hard for me. We also had to make shadows in the face to make it look more realistic. The easiest part for me was drawing the hair, which is more free and no so specific to draw. So this was a real challenge for me.
