For the shattered value drawing, the goal was to create a drawing that used different values, but divide the values by creating lines where the value would change. No two values that were the same could touch along with the drawing needing to have some form of depth such as shadows, highlights, and etcetera. For me, I struggled transferring my concept from a small piece of paper to a large one where it became harder to control the overall shape of the piece for me. Eventually I did get my drawing to a place I could start filling in the values which I divided up to imitate broken glass. By the end of the drawing I was somewhat disappointed because I know that if I had devoted more time to the drawing it could have come out much better than it did. Still, I am happy with the values and how they worked together. What I learned from working on this project was that i´m not a fan of working with large pieces of paper because they lead to more room to mess up.

The goal of this project was to have 5 hands on the page at least with two or three touching the corners of the page specifically, use some mixed media whether that be colored pencils, Markers or sharpies, or watercolor paint to highlight the contour lines such as folds in the hands, shadows and or highlights, and to have some form of overlap between the hands. While creating this piece of art I knew from the beginning I wanted there to be four hands on each corner with one in the center to create the appearance of the hands being drawn together like magnets. After finishing the outline of each hand with a sharpie, I was somewhat lost on how I would incorporate the other requirements without ruining what I already had finished. Eventually I discovered a personal liking for cross hatching which is what I used to keep a cohesive look and idea to the drawing while also adding the other important aspects. In the end I came to like certain aspects of the drawing, but I feel as if it's seriously lacking in something like a background or something to even out the use of the page. While doing this piece I learned I enjoy cross hatching along with being fairly good at drawing hands.

Out of the three drawings I've shown, The 5 object study is by far my personal favorite.

The goal of this piece was to have to draw an object or objects in a different position utilizing a different technique for each study. The techniques used in this study were contour lines, shading, cross hatching, and stippling. While creating each drawing I remember the process was very natural and not at all stressful like the other two drawings I've discussed (mostly because of my own terrible time management.) In a way the objects I chose to work with, that being a box of seashells, reflects how I felt while creating this artwork. Towards the end of the drawing I felt like the page was missing something to tie the studies together. I found a solution in the form of a small pattern I had started in between the boxes I made to divide the object studies. I ended up expanding that pattern to connect the boxes which I think solved the issue. The only regret I have from this drawing is how the stippling on the large seashell felt very spacey to me. If i had more time I probably would have filled it in slightly more. In the end, I learned that I really enjoyed working with the physical objects and being able to move them around to draw them at a different angle.
