For the first project, which was the still life, it was kind of hard actually to find objects that wouldn’t be too hard to draw. I tried a bunch of different ideas like books and a lamp, however the shadowing and drawing was difficult. So finally I took a tea kettle, and a mug with a cup of sugar. That were much easier shapes to draw. And I started to see the definition of shadows in the object. They were much better defined than the other ideas I had before. I had trouble with the shadowing and how to shape it. But overall I think my drawing came out good.
The self portrait was probably one of the hardest drawings I have done. I’m not very good when it comes to drawing faces. At first I didn’t know how to use the charcoal or the different shades of pencils. But once I got lessons I understood it better. When I started to learn the concept of the utensils the drawing started to really approve. It was difficult doing some parts of the face, like the eyes and mouth. Because I wanted it to look more realistic which was one of the struggles I had. But besides having the image a little unproportional from the real picture, I really think for drawing a self portrait for the first time came out great.
