Circle Project

To create these, I took watercolor paper and made a boarder with a ruler and pencil then later went over with a black pen. I looked at photos of turtles and had to make them into perfect circles even though they aren't. I first drew in a 4H pencil and used a circle stencil. I drew in the lines inside the shell and gave them heads, arms and legs. I then outlined them in black pen and picked out my watercolors I wanted to give it color. I chose to use watercolor because I wanted the colors to blend perfectly like watercolor allows me to. While creating it was focused on getting the colors to look realistic and cartoonish as well. I am most proud of my first piece from my series, even though it doesn't have a circle in the piece, because of the way the turtle was drawn. Hs has a cute smile on this face and I am proud of the way the eggshell came out. I believe that I could improve by adding more black in the eggshell because I got many peer critiques saying I should fix that.
