self portrait 

In the beginning of this project, I really did not like how my self portrait looked. I thought that it didn't look like me at all. Once I got further into the project, I was finally turning out. One thing I noticed that was hard were the eyes as they had to be exact as they could be otherwise it would look weird. I think the one thing I struggled with the most was the hair as I had a hard time making sure I had all the lights and darks. One thing I think would be good advice is always make the lights light and the darks darker. After finishing this project, I am very pleased with how my self portrait turned out.

oil painting

In the beginning of this project it was very challenging. I did not like the first background I did so I redid it later. Doing that took a lot of time to where I had no time to actually finish the whole painting. Going further into the project I started to actually like it. I would say that this is a very fun project and I would definitely do it again. Overall, I am very pleased with how my painting turned out. 

watercolor painting

For this project, I chose to do my grandpa's old barn that my dad used to work on when he was a little boy. I chose this as it means something to my family and has a story behind it. This project took me a really long time. Much longer than I anticipated as there was so much detail that needed to be shown with the ink and I had to make up a lot also. I very much enjoyed doing this project and am very pleased with how it turned out. One thing I would have done different though would be the grass as it did not really turn out how I would have liked it to. Overall, I really enjoyed this project and would do it again.

transportation drawing

For this project, I chose to do my families truck that was my dad's old work truck and is now my high school vehicle. I started this project later than everyone as it took a while for me to finish my watercolor so that set me back a bit. I really enjoyed this colored pencil project as I thought it was fairly easy and relaxing to do. I wouldn't really say that there was a hard part of this project for me but when I started working on the chrome, it took a bit to figure it out. Overall, I am very pleased with my truck and would definitely do it again as I know what not to do and what to do.
