Purpose:
To use the correct facial proportions to draw yourself as accurately as you can;
To draw the individual features, eyes, nose, mouth in a convincing 3D way;
To use graphite and a stomp to show value changes and dimension.
I think from my pre instructional drawing to my final self portrait I have improved and learned so many techniques. Now seeing my pre instructional drawing I noticed my proportions are way off and also my mouth is way too high up. I learned how to use the stomps and shading to show the different values of the shadows to make it realistic. There are three different things that I learned while drawing this that can help me with my other drawings. I learned how to shade to create depth and make my portrait more 3d. i can use this skill when drawing anything that needs to have depth. I have learned how to accurately draw a human face and make it look good and realistic. I can use this on any drawing of humans and even animals to make better art. and lastly I learned how to make the proportions more accurate and look correct and actually like myself. this skill can be used in many diffrent ways and not just in portraits but all diffrent kinds of art.
