This is the summation paragraph for the picture I drew of Kenna Alston. During this drawing, I learned many things about the actual human face, such as the face proportions is close to 2:3. I found things like when drawing teeth for instance, I draw them as one solid tooth, and define them as necessary. With this drawing, I made the face more long shaped and it fit the details of the face more nicely. I found that with her long hair, I did not need to draw the ears as they were covered up by the hair. The eyes are in the middle of the face and while I did find it difficult to draw the glasses, I felt after I drew them they fit the face nicely. I drew the neck going from under the face, and using shadows to show the neck was both below and 3D, but also begin the face. I used shadows mainly on the right side of the face due to a light being to the left side. I also learned many faces have highlights and shadows, and so when I paint the drawing, I will make sure to define the true highlights and shadows.

This is Jeremy Johnson's paragraph for skull drawings. I learned many skills and facts about the human facial structure and looks. Some things i learned is that usually the proportions for a head are 2 to 3, and that the head actually has two parts, the jaw and the head itself. I also learned with eyes, it looks like there can be another eye fitting between the two eyes, and that eyes are in the middle of the face, the nose line is at half the distance between the eyes and the chin, and the mouth is about 2/3 of the way down from the eyes to the mouth. The shape of an average eyeball is about the shape of an almond, and i can make an eye look glassy by shading in the part at where the eyes is next to the nose i found.

This is Jeremy Johnson's Summative paragraph for the landscapes I drew. Both of these pictures were taken during the morning with fog, and one of them with the sun in it, and drawn on colored paper with colored chalk. I felt as though these pictures needed a lighter touch to it so I used lighter colored paper. My skills I used were for example creating trees in the background and try to show the depth of the trees and landscape itself. A new skill I used during this was to add colors like white and purple to add shadows, tints, etc. I also used different sized shapes to show closer and farther away objects. Both of the chalk drawings are given a lighter tone compared to the pictures, so I tried to make a happier mood instead of a sadder mood in the pictures. I drew the pictures how I saw them, given the impressionist part of the project, and drew how I felt while taking the pictures.
