Makaela Shaw, Eye

18x24, combination, 2019


The style of my drawing is realism because it’s an eye of a real person.

I drew and eye and the eye represents me because I’ve gone through a lot in life and even though its negative, I take it into a positive way and make something good out of it. I would change the eye shape and make it a little bigger, because the eye looks a little too small and I wanted it to look realistic. What I love about my drawing is that it’s a real eye of someone who has gone through a lot, but takes it into a very positive way, which Is why I put warm colors around the eye.


Makaela Shaw, Father and daughter

8x10, Color, 2019


The style of my drawing is realism because it’s a real picture of my father and I. I drew a picture of my father and I because he’s my best friend he’s been there for me my entire life and it means a lot to me. I would change the graphite around my face and make less grass. The graphite made my skin look a little grey and there’s a lot of grass and I feel like that’s what’s gonna get the people’s attention. What I love about my drawing is that I took my time on it so I could make it look really good and It turned out really well so I’m very happy about that.


Makaela shaw, Mother and Daughter

8x10, color, 2019


The style of my drawing is realism because it’s a real picture of my mother and I. I drew this because my mom is very sick and childhood photos of her and I and the good times we had. I would change the paper I used because the paper was very flimsy and wasn’t easy to blend colors today and to highlight and add contrast to the drawing. What I love about my drawing is that It turned out really well and it looks very identical to the real photo of my mother and I and I took my time on this drawing because it meant a lot to me and I wanted it to turn out really well.
