Right now we are focusing on perspective, so this project was to do a foreshortened image. I chose to take a picture of myself with one hand close to the camera, making it extremely large, and another far away, making it un-normally small. For this project I just used a graphite pencil to create the values and lines. While I was working on this project I feel that one skill I really worked with was shading and creating value. When drawing a face and body like this, it is important to get the values right, and I feel like I concentrate a lot on this and used this skill to make it look as 3D as possible. I also feel that the most common art element would be proportion/scale. When doing an image like this where your hand looks abnormally large, you tend to make it smaller than it actually is, and the image does't turn out right. For this project I took multiple precautions to avoid this and I feel that this really shows in the final product. The proportions allows one hand to look closer than the other and also helps to make the facial features proportionate to the rest of my body. Overall I feel like I chose a creative but simple image, and that my final product really represents that.
