value portraits aka the worst project ever dont ever make us do it ever again

i dont even know what happened to this picture????
like it was actually really good at first but then i just stopped because i didn't like it oopsie
to develop my drawing, i traced his face and then scribbled crap all over the back of the tracing paper and transfered it all onto the sketchbook paper by drawing on his face! it turned out backwards but oh well
after that we shaded it and drew the hair and drew whatever else we didn't get!
to find the different values we basically just went into our drawing and outlined them all. there were a lot that i forgot to put in this drawing though??? then we transfered those onto the sketchbook paper too.
i don't think i did achieve a full range of color actually hahaha...you can't really tell where they blend together? you can see the dark/light difference but not really much else. shadowing/shading stuff is actually really hard for me to do though because i've never done it like this
the work is executed neatly and crafted (sort of) neatly, but it's not well done if you know what i mean. i mean it fits into all the criteria i guess but it's not that great?? i did really well at the beginning and then didnt put in as much effort the rest of the time and bam this is the result
the obstacles i found were being bored, being even more bored, getting tired and sick of this project, and not being able to concentrate
and i overcame none of them i'm very glad this project is over

 but i tried and therefore no one should criticise me

moss painting and turtle names

heres a sassy picture of me painting with moss yee
it was also really freakin hot outside that day so maybe it wasnt the best day to wear a sweater oh well
i regret nothing
in this picture i was painting some music notes and the border of one of the bricks on the top of the wall! later i moved on to a shadier area and painted a few zodiac signs, leo for me and taurus for my best friend! they both turned out really well but the moss paint is really chunky so it tends to smear when you coat over it multiple times!!
if i were to do this project again i wouldnt wear a sweater in 90 freakin degree weather because despite how much i love that shirt that was a really dumb idea
i also would have painted more in the shade, since moss tends to grow better where it gets less sun.

ps mr sands these are my proposals for the turtle's names and they are genderfluid because they are turtles and when you are a turtle what is a gender
lana del turtle
beyonceturtle
turtle minaj

this piece turned out really well!! i'm really proud of this one, actually, and it turned out a lot better than i thought it would! i had to erase a lot of stuff and redraw it, so i was surprised that the paper didn't rip and that the drawing didn't smear.
this project worked for me because i really love the power puff girls oops and also because i've never drawn a real skeleton before, so it was a lot of fun! i'm actually thinking of doing a few more! : )
