Day 9: Final Day & Digital Portfolio

What Makes a Successful Project?

• Full Range of Value
  Your artwork includes a wide range from light to dark, with smooth transitions between values. Use both soft blends and sharp edges where appropriate to create a three-dimensional effect.

• Smooth Colored Pencil Application
  Color is applied cleanly and evenly. Avoid harsh lines or visible strokes unless they are intentional. The surface should look blended, not messy or streaky.

• Richness of Color
  You’ve layered multiple colors to create depth and interest. Instead of flat or basic color, your work shows complexity and effort in color mixing.

• Use of Cool Darks
  Instead of relying only on black, use cool dark colors (like deep blues, purples, or dark greens) to build shadows and darker areas for a more dynamic look.

• Accurate Tints and Tones
  Tints (lighter areas) and tones (muted or darker areas) are used purposefully and with control. You show a clear understanding of how to adjust a color's value.

Take a high-quality photo of your final artwork. Make sure it’s well-lit, in focus, and cropped cleanly.

Update your digital portfolio with the final image and any required reflections or documentation.
