Observational

For my observational drawing I did a portrait of what seems to be a renaissance man. I chose to do this portrait of this sculpture because it had a lot of detail in it and I wanted to try doing all the shadows to make it pop out more.

For the colors I really wanted to make it look like a statue so I only did grey colors and to do this I used led pencil and watercolor.

For this piece I experimented with shadowing, I don't usually add shadowing into my artwork because I never really know how to. But for this I really wanted to make it look like a sculpture so I used a lot shadowing. At first I was planning on getting leaves for my observational drawing but decided against it because the sculpture had a lot more detail in it than the leaves did. I think I could have done a better job with the shadowing and darkening it up in more places to make it stand out more.
