This artwork is done by Leila, the project was about perspective, and we had to draw something of a close or far perspective. Leila drew the perspective from riding on a horse, and jumping over fences. I think she did amazing on using pencil, she didn't use different light or dark pencils for this project, though it looks like she did. She used the medium very well. The idea of it being riding on the back of the horse was a good idea as well, I think it's very original because I never thought of doing an animal for a perspective project. I know that she's never done realism very much and this was out of her comfort zone, but I still think she did a great job with this picture. One of my favorite things about this picture is the small details on the sides, like the horseshoe marks on the left and how nice and sraight the lines for the fences are.

I chose my transparency project and my self portrait to show my growth in using Prismacolor pencils and proportions. The transparency project is of a man wearing a see through plastic mask. And my self portrait is of me as a robot, tearing my wires out. Looking at the two pictures, I have changed in many ways, through application of materials, in the transparency project, I would put a lot of weight on my colored pencils, after that project, I learned not to put so much weight on my pieces, so the robot me looks much better. In techniques and skills, I has applied the face measurement techniques to get proper proportions for robot me, but I didn't do that for the transparency mask, because I didn't learn about it yet. The proportion is more correct in the drawing of me. Through artistic vision, the placing of my face in the self portrait is much better, how I'm not in the middle or too close to the viewer, the background of the robot is more well thought out, though the background of the mask is just one plain color. Through use of principles and elements, like I mentioned before, the facial proportions by measuring eye length to make a proportional face. The mask looks a little deformed. In terms of creativity, I fully came up with the robot idea, and negative photo idea, the mask was purely a photo that I had of a transparent mask, I didn't come up with much else for it, though the design of the robot was much more well thought out. Through intuition, it's very hard to tell that the mask is infact, a mask, at first glance it looks more like a very shiny, deformed face rather than a plaastic mask, though it is easy to tell that the robot is a robot, because of the wires and the photo negative look. The subject matter is easy to see in the robot picture, since I do believe that it looks like me, but in the mask, the subject matter is supposed to be transparency, but since it looks more like a face than a mask, that message doesn't deiver very well. I've always wanted to draw those kind of smooth, futuristic robots from science fiction movies, rather than the steampunk/rusty old robots. A few days before the project, I saw a video of a makeup artist making herself look like one of those robots, so it was the first thing to come to mind. I came up with the photo negative look when I was going through a photo editing app during the project. My favorite part of this picture is the torn wires, I like the idea of a dysfunctional robot, so I'm glad I was able to put all of those ideas in the drawing, the photo negative look, the robotic neck and face, and torn out wires. The reason I chose this piece was because u was very happy with the end product, and it is my most unique piece since I think it is very different from what I usually do. I challenged myself by doing realism, which was very difficult to do, another difficult thing to do was to color it in photo negative, because the values have to be light and the shines have to be dark, sometimes I would even forget that rule and color it the wrong way.
