India
We are going to be drawing a portrait of children that are a part of an orphange in India. We are doing this becuase we want the children to be able to recieve some type of love from someone since that is not something they are recieving consistentally froma family like many of us are. I am super excited about this assignment and can't wait to start!
These past couple of weeks have been tough trying to figure out all the different styles of drawing Mayank. I was really excited to try out oil pastels since that was the one thing out of all of the options that we haven't done yet throughout highschool. It didn't quite end up being what I had hoped for but was still fun to try out. I was having a hard time blending the skin with the color pencils, and I relly enjoyed doing the pencils, so that is what I decided to go with. I will be using pencils for this project to draw Mayank.
I really enjoyed this project and it was super fun to know who it was going to go to throughout the whole process of drawing the portrait. I loved getting to draw with pencils again since I haven't done that since last year in 2D. As the process went on I was reminded of the many values that are needed in order to make your portrait represent what the picture is like and really bring it to life. I really like the way it turned out and was excited to be able to use a touch of colored pencils at the end on his shirt in order to give the portrait a touch of color, including making it Mayank's favorite color red.
