Oil Pastel Fruit Drawing

This is an oil pastel drawing. I used a mechanical pencil to draw it out, then I colored in/shaded it with oil pastels. I learned how if you used some of the similar colors like browns, reds, oranges & yellows then you can make the drawing look really good when you shade & mix them together. I liked how I thought this would turn out bad but it actually turned out really cool. I didn't like how after I was done smearing & I would touch a spot in my project that the color would smear on to it, so I had to go back over it & redo it which I didn't like.

Zentangle

This is my 2nd zentangle drawing I had to do in black & white. I used a pencil to draw this our then I colored it with a black sharpie & a fine tip sharpie.I learned that if take a simple idea & make little doodles & keep doing it, it can turn into something really cool. I liked this project cause it was fun, & it turned out pretty good. I didn't like that it took a long time.

Zentangle


This is my zentangle art, I drew it out in mechanical pencil then used for the designs inside the monster colored sharpies, & for the guy I used a charcoal pencil. I learned how if you just make little doodles, it can turn into something big, & turn out really cool. I got this idea from a different artist, & kind of made it my own, that's what I liked about this. There wasn't anything I really didn't like about this project.

Scratchboard Art

This is a piece of scratchboard art I made, & I used the a scratch tool to create it. I learned how to do the opposite of what I should scratch out. I didn't like how it took a long time, & how sometimes if I would scratch to hard it would take out some of the paper. I think that it turned out really cool in the end.

Pointilism/Line drawing



This is a drawing I drew using a mechanical pencil & ball point sharpie pen. I learned how to use pointilism as a different way to shade, & make an object pop out. I really liked how I chose pointilism for the grass, because it turned out actually looking really cool.

Still Life Shading .

This was a still life drawing I drew using charcoal & a white eraser, & fus to shade. I learned how to shade when the light reflects off an object. I liked how the glass bottle turned out, but I didn't like how the flowers looked when I was finished.
