Mr. Polar Bear Man

I absolutely LOVED this project!!!! I feel like it didn't turn out exactly what it was supposed to but it still looks like a "person". The shape of his face worked very well but his facial features did not come together quite how they were supposed to. He kind of ended up looking like a bear rather than a human. I would have practiced on his face, mainly his chin and mouth, to make them look more human and less like an animal. The most difficult part was coloring because it took forever! I learned that it is difficult to draw human faces, not head or body, but facial expressions.

Still Life Project


First, I was very excited to draw this. That feeling soon went out the window. Drawing wasn't that bad but when it came to shading, I found myself becoming progressively lazy. Starting at the top it was looking quite good but when I was doing my final touches, it started to go downhill.

I feel as though the figures themselves look good but after the shading got in there, the drawing became confusing. If I were to re-do this project, I would definitely spend more time on the shading and a little less time being a perfectionist on the gesture drawings. The most difficult part during this project was being patient. I learned to take my time while being patient in the process.
