Value Drawing



Value Drawing

1. Explain the process you went through to develop your drawing.
First I had to draw all the different shades. Then I took the shades and drew them on the paper.
After that Shaded it all in.
2. Explain how you found the different values in the portrait?
I trased over the picture with trasing paper. Any values I saw I drew in. I also put it up on a window 
to see all the lighter values.

3.  Did you achieve a full range of the different values within your portrait?  How?
I looked at the different shades i outlined then i drawed them in. I had a piece of paper with all the values.
In the end all the shades stood out.

4. Describe your craftsmanship.  Is the artwork executed and crafted neatly?
Yes the pitcure looks very nice in my eyes. I used different pressures to make the different values.
That gave it the nice 3D look.

5. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them.
The only problem was trying to get all the values in. Also make the values stand out against each other.
The big problem was getting the face features to stand out.
