Shoe contour drawing:
In this mini project we had to draw a shoe. I practiced continuing with the contour method on the shoe and practiced making it dimensional with contour lines.
Backpack contour drawing:

Contour room drawing:
In this project we had to draw the classroom with the contour technique. We could not lift our pen from the paper and I had to closely look up and down and draw the details in the classroom.
Value chart/Shapes/Shape Still Life:
In this assignment we were to make a value chart, practice shading with the different shapes and draw a still life with the shapes.
White Ribbon Practice:
In this assignment we were to make a value chart with a white prismacolored pencil, chalk pencil and a chalk pastel to show the different transitions with the color white. After we got the feel for the different transitions we had to draw a ribbon and show all its different values and dimensions.
Fabric Drawings:
In this assignment I practiced drawing fabric using a charcoal pencil on grey paper, regular graphite pencils on white paper and a white colored pencil on black paper to show the different textures.
Still Life Project:
Composition Sketches:
In this project we had to draw a still life using pencils to show shading and depth.
Perspective Drawings:
In this assignment we watched five tutorial videos on different perspectives. I learned how to draw buildings and rooms using the three perspectives. I also practiced drawing from a worm eye view and a birds eyes view.
Prismacolor:
Colored Shapes:
In this assignment we practiced drawing shapes using prismacolors. I practiced blending and making the shapes dimensional.
Fruit/Veggie Drawing:
In this mini assignment we practiced using the prismacolors and applied it into a fruit or veggie drawing. I chose to draw a strawberry. I used many different colors other than the colors you see to make my strawberry more realistic and to make it pop. I did not just use red and pink but I also included colors like yellow, orange, purple, and green.

In progress:
In this project we had to draw an object with an interesting perspective creating foreshortening or foreshadowing. To start this project I came up with 20 interesting, unique ideas and picked the best three. With the best three ideas I drew 5 compositional sketches to figure out the best arrangement to draw and to show the best perspective. After that I picked my favorite composition sketch and drew one final composition sketch with color before moving onto my final piece. For this project I chose to draw a goat and I showed that its head was bigger than its body and that the background was shorter in the background.
Egg Drawings:
In this mini assignment I practiced drawing eggs with two different color schemes. I chose to draw a warm color scheme and a cool color scheme.
