BrainstormingSketchesColor SketchIn ProgressFinalReflection of Piece"A Piece of Her"For this project we had to create something that reflected us as a person, as well as including reflective qualities. I came up with a list of 20 ideas for the project and narrowed it down to two ideas. One of my ideas was the reflection of the North Carolina state line sign into a puddle and in the reflection is the Georgia state line sign. This idea was inspired by me moving from Georgia to North Carolina. My second idea was including plants and my Great Grandma's necklace one a puddle of water. I love plants and I really wanted to show this in my drawing. My Great Grandma was a huge part of shaping who I am today as well so I thought it would be nice to add a part of her in the drawing. I ended up picking my second idea because it was more sentimental. I did a colored sketch of the piece so that I could layout where all of the colors were going to be. I then started on the final piece. I started by sketching out an outline of the image. I then began with a light layer of colored pencil that blocked in the major colors. I then kept adding layers to add shadowing and highlights. I saw that many colors reflected in the diamonds of the necklace and I made sure to add those in the piece. It was difficult to add the shadows into the piece especially because I added another plant into the piece that was not in the reference image. I also had a hard time getting the texture that I wanted in the piece because I had gone to hard with the colored pencil and that made it difficult to add on layers. To add more of the texture and the highlights I ended up using a little white gel pen. I overall enjoyed creating this piece and am really happy with the way that it turned out. I think that it really reflects me and who I am. In the future when using colored pencil I need to slow down and go light with my layering so that I will be able to add more details later.

Color ChartIn class we created a color chart with colored pencil to practice creating different shades and tints of colors. FormsIn class we created 6 forms on three different colored papers using a different color combo for each. This helped me learn to blend the colors together and create a smooth transition. FruitIn class we chose a reference image of a fruit or vegi to practice drawing with colored pencil . This helped me understand how to create shading and highlights, as well as blending colors.
