Drawing & painting 

I researched Mark Demsteader. His style is more of lighter colors with the face being the main subject and the clothing of the model being loosely dragged down the button of the painting. The meaning behind his painting is to show expressions through his artwork. He wants the people seeing the art to feel some type of way with enduring everything in the painting. I learned from him by being patient with my work. It is similar to my artist style being it is a girl and the face is the main subject and like the middle of the body is dragged down the page loosely. I feel like I matched skin tone and hair color very well. I would like to improve my shading throughout the face and neck. The less successful areas would probably be the hoodie part of the artwork, I feel like I could've been more successful with that. The criteria was to be patient and trust the process of the work, I feel like I met well with those areas of criteria.  As I worked I changed the face color a lot because I feel like it didn't meet my expectations, because it should've been a little more pink throughout the cheeks because that's what my photo showed. I received good feedback from my peers, and I received feedback from my teacher to create more shading and brush lighter and work up the paint. I used that feedback by trying my hardest to produce what they said. I used my class time very well, I worked everyday, creating new shades of color, new details on the painting, new mistakes, and new improvements throughout this whole project. I didn't really do much outside of class time because I used it all during class.
