My artwork was inspired by my sister and her love for volleyball. At first i was going to take a picture of her actually playing volleyball but decided against it because I could never get a good shot of her in motion. For my piece I used watercolor, chalk pastel, and charcoal; for me using charcoal was very new. I never thought I would use it, but in my piece I think it created good shadows on her legs and hands. This piece of art was hard for me in the sense that I had never was good at creating faces and unfortunately it shows in my art, honestly the face looks nothing like her. Drawing my sister proved to be difficult for me in that I couldn't seem to get her exactly liked she is, but I know that this project had helped me make sure that I never draw another persons face again. Also in my painting I had to re-paint the background from messing up on added shadows to the background to make my focus seem more prominent. |
