1. Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing.
It was a tough and painful process because it took a while for me to get all the proportions right and to make sure the features were placed correctly. I had to first draw out generic shapes and then customize so that it could like me and from there I added value through endless layers of shading. 2. Explain how you found the different values in the portrait? I made the picture black and white so the shadows and highlights were noticeable, so when it came time for the drawing I could see all the values. By making the picture black and white, it made it easier for me to use a range of values and to incorporate all the shades and highlights in the drawing. 3. Did you achieve a full range of the different values within your portrait? How? I don't believe that I achieved a full range of different values within my portrait. The drawing seems to have a small range of values, mostly because I used the same few pencils. I did incorporate the highlights, however I feel as though I could have gone darker in the hair and the face. 4. Describe your craftsmanship. Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly? I believe that the hair was crafted neatly and certain aspects of the face, such as the nose, was executed well. However I feel as though the eyes didn't mirror the realism behind the picture, neither did the eye lashes, or lips. I think the face shape and neck was done neatly however it certainly could have been done better. Certain aspects like the ears, earrings and shirt weren't executed as well as I'd hope. 5. How were you able to capture your look? I think I truly captured my hair by focusing on the curls and the major hair placement. My eyes tend to be a little larger than normal size so I made sure to incorporate that along with the dark values of my lips. I even added in my own earrings so that I could capture my own look. 6. Explain how you made sure you had correct facial feature placement. I made sure to measure everything by one eye like I learned from Ms. Rossi, however even with that I think my placements were a little off because the drawing didn't quite look like me. I made sure to make the nose about an eye and a half long and the head to be about five eyes wide, however I had to alter these measurements because my face is a little different than an average face. 7. Explain the importance of learning how to draw all the features individually. By learning how to individually draw all the features, we were able to learn about different techniques to help us, and we could practice more with each feature. At first, the noses were really difficult but as a I practiced, I got better at them, along with lips and eyes. 8. What part of this unit was the most beneficial and why? The most beneficial part of this unit was learning how to correctly place all the features on the face. By learning how to measure the width of the face, and the length of the nose, and the distance between the lips and the nose, I was able to draw a more realistic face. Furthermore, learning how to place the feature of the face taught me how to get my proportions right. 9. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them. It was difficult to get the right face shape and it was even worse trying to make my drawing look like a realistic version of me. I struggled with creating realistic eyes, because I was worried to go dark and it was hard to see my irises in the picture, however I think I blended it to the best of my ability. It was also extremely hard to make the hair realistic, so I tried my hardest to add different values so it could show volume.

We traced over a skull in order to draw a realistic face and to learn how to fit everything on the face. I felt as though the skull underneath made my drawing worse because in reality my face isn't as elongated so this drawing doesn't quite look like me. However it did help me learn how to correctly place all the features of my face.
EyesThis was really difficult to do, and I feel as though the top eyes don't look very realistic. I should have added more value and maybe loosened up on pressure. When I drew both my eyes, I liked the right one a little more than the left. However, I don't really think that the eyes I drew look like mine. NoseThe struggle to draw Abby's and I's nose (left side) was real. I struggled to get all the values to blend together to create and even and realistic look, but I think as I practiced more with the ones on the right, I got better. I especially love the top and middle one on the right page because I think those ones turned out the best. LipsMy lip drawings seem a little off to me, I think that some lines are a little stronger than I'd like them to be, but in general I do like how they turned out. The bottom one doesn't quite look like mine, and the angled one was very difficult to do and doesn't quite look realistic.
