Notes:

Blind portrait self reflection: 

The idea of not knowing who I'm drawing inspired me to create this drawing because it helped me shape up different ideas and put them together into one. I first used chalk to give the stars a glow, then I outlined it with a marker which I wish I hadn't. For the main part of the drawing I used prisma colors to fill in the owl and the person and give a shade to each one of them. I want the audience not to only look at the main part of the drawing but to also to focus on the background and how it shifts from side to side creating the idea of freedom. My first difficult encounter was that the drawing looked plain and basic. It felt like I didn't but any much of an idea. I worked through that by adding different backgrounds. I wish I used different art materials. I did some research on different types of owls, and some references on the human shape but that's about all. The most successful part of my work would be the shading but everything else could use more improvement.

Artist Statement:

In my art, I combined color pencil and chalk to bring out the nature of the owl by splitting the drawing into two pieces and showing contrast. My goal for this art work was trying to emphasis the owl and human shape and make it stand out the most. Some big ideas to look out for is how the human blends and turns into an owl, that was my main focus of the drawing. Overall I'm not satisfied with my drawing but I don't hate it either. After looking at the final piece I could definitely tell what I can improve. I also have a small idea of how an artist thinks thanks to my classmates. Their criteria for my work really opened up my mind more.

Artist Statement:

At first I wanted to put my country history into one drawing and then show how it affected me, but then I realized that was a terrible and vague idea. I wanna keep more ideas for my other portfolio. So for my first drawing I focused on the kind of negative side of my country but also showed some positive sides to it. I wanted to show my personal development which in this drawing was the evolution of my anxiety just not in a bad way. How my anxiety came in a different form, like a more observant side of me. I used drawing pencils and a little bit prismacolors for my media. I am not satisfied with my drawing as my idea of using comics as my style of art didn't work. Also, some parts of my drawing look poorly made or unfinished. But I can definitely think of many ideas to improve this drawing.​
