Magazine Reflection

[Insert Picture Here]

         When I drew this drawing/article it was to represent and show how it was my time to shine. Also, this piece was to inform readers about me. I think this piece was very successful because it looks like an actual magazine article. If i was to redo this piece, I wouldn't. Everything that needs to be said about Eddie Jackson and how he works is on that magazine article so I feel that there is no need for me to redo it. When asking me what the most difficult part of this art piece, I would say I don't know. It shouldn't be difficult especially if I am writing about myself because I will always know myself more than any other person. In conclusion, I learned if you know yourself, then it will be easier to tell about yourself.

War Torn Country

This drawing represents how Africa is a country torn by war. The way that the people live in Africa because of the civil war that have happened there and that have scared Africa. This piece paints a picture and tells a small story of how Africa was affected. I feel that this piece was successful because of the fact that it tells a story. Also, I am not a good painter but with this piece it did not matter. This piece was to tell a story and sometimes stories can be fuzzy and misread that is why I think my lack of painting experience can slide for now.

If I was to redo this, I wouldn't. This piece tells a story in it self and by me redoing it would not help improve the story that it is trying to tell. One thing that worked about this piece was that I knew what I was going to draw and I had a solid layout for everything. When having a solid layout with what you are going to draw, it will make the drawing better understood.

Scavenger Hunt

This drawing piece is very good when it comes to shading. Everything looks as if it pops out of the paper because of shading. This is why I think this piece was successful. Something that really worked about this piece was that it was about things that I use in my daily life and I was comfortable drawing them and because  of that I think this piece was easy to draw. Staying relaxed is a good way to get a good outcome when an artist is drawing. I am used to all these things on this page so it was easy for me to bring them to life.

 Even though this piece was easy to draw, I still wouldn't have been able to redo this. The shading is what makes this piece to come to life and I don't think that I could shade the same way. With this piece, I learn that shading is a big factor in bringing drawings to life.

Paul Pierce

This drawing piece is by far the best piece that I have created. By me selecting to contribute and add to Paul Pierce, I was able to practice my shading and detailing to bring my art piece to life. In my opinion, I would say that this art piece was very success. The selection that I choose brought the picture to life and that is a success for any art piece when an artist can bring his drawings to life.

One thing that worked about this piece is the shading. This piece was hard to draw but the shading was simple. Also, the shading gave color to the drawing and this also brought it to life. If I was to redo this again I don't think that i would be able to get the same outcome that I got, because an artist can never draw the same thing the same way but he can draw something similar and give it a different life. A good example is the Paul Pierce drawing. They may share some similar qualities but they are not completely similar. On the right, Paul Pierce seems to look fat and on the right, he seems to look young. It was hard to make these pieces resemble each other and i learned that.

Guy

This was one of my first hands on painting pieces. I think i did ok, but obviously i'm not that good at it. If i could redo this over, i would take my time on it and make sure that everything is painted nice and neat. Also, i would change the background color. I am not that satisfied with this piece because i was trying to draw a person and it ends up looking like a suspious person. I would probably draw something else if i was to redo this piece and also take my time. The only thing good about this art piece is the selection of colors. I think i chose the right color for this piece to add a positive thought to my poor painting skills. Now that i know what colors to use, i just have to take my time and bring the art piece to life.

Roger & Skeleton

I really liked this piece because I watch American Dad and also because I think this is one of my better drawings. The way i drew this piece kind of brings Roger to life. I Love drawing my favorite cartoon characters and this drawing was a success. If i could change anything about this piece, i would not change a thing. The only thing different i would do is probably add color to Roger to make him pop off the page more. Also, I really don't know how Rogers actual skeleton looks like so i just did a guess. In doing that, i think it looks pretty accurate. I have learned from this piece. what i learn was that if i take my time, then the outcome of my drawing will be good instead of rushing through all of them. In conclusion, if i was to redo this piece, i wouldn't.

EVJ

This art piece was one of my least favorites. It just doesn't pop out like some of my other art pieces do. If I could redo this whole thing, I would. I would choose a different background color and maybe a different style to draw my name in. If i was to choose what my favorite part of doing this art piece, I would say that it was glue-ing because I really think that I did bad on this art piece. I know that I can learn from  this piece as I do with all my other pieces. Drawing a neat outline with change and effect how the overal outcome of the art piece will be. In conclusion, there is not much to say about this drawing because it is so plain. If i could go back and change the whole thing, i would.

The Sea of Life

The Sea of life: 

I think this piece was very creative. This picture represents a person's life. There are rain drops to represent the tears or pain a person may go through. Also i drew water to be a sea because everyone has a story of their life. Everybody sail through life but some people's boats can crash and break down sooner than others. The bottom corner of this piece shows all the fallen sail boats and the intense waves that crashed those sail boats. The top right corner was to symbolize how people look up in the sky; maybe for aliens or for them to get a sign from God. They even look into space to find those signs too.

Overall this piece was successful and the thinking behind it was creative. I wouldn't change anything about this piece if  i was to do it again. What really worked about this project is how i had an idea of what i was going to do before i did it. It is good to be well planned and prepared. 

There wasn't anything difficult about this piece, other than the thinking behind it. Also, i learned that i can create something great if i have a plan to go in with.

Spider wheel drawing

Spider Wheel Drawing:

This is by far the worst paint job i have done in my life. Painting is not my strongest point so it was hard for me to blend and mix the colors and to make them look faded. Also i had the right idea with the spider webs instead of a color wheel but it lack certain things. If i could change this piece i would probably pick a different design and work harder on the color. 

I think i could of did this better if i had more experience with painting with brushes. Also if i didn't rush it then it would of looked a lot neater. I learned that time can have an effect on all pieces. If you take your time then it will come out better as to you rushing.

City In the Sky

City in the Sky:

In my opinion, this piece was very creative. Doing a two point perspective over the earth was very successful. There aren't that many errors in this drawing piece. The only this i found bad about this drawing was the color of all of it. I might of picked the wrong colors for this piece; and everything was going everywhere. The coloring was kind of sloppy and if i could go back and change some things, that would definitely be it. 

I found this piece fairly easy to draw because it had to do with lines and a ruler. The only thing that was difficult about this piece was what colors to use and if i should blend them together. I ended up blending them together but if i was to redo this i would just make it solid.

Like this piece and all my other pieces, i realize that my drawing aren't the best and that i have to keep working at it, to get the best outcome of all my drawing if i want to take it to the professional level.
