Shay's Independent Progress

So far in my process I have gotten my planning and sketches done and I have started to figure out how I am going to color my piece. One of the challenges that I have already encountered was getting the anatomy of the subject of my piece correct. It was difficult to first figure out a pose that would work. Then figure out how the to draw a human body anatomically correct in that pose. I still need to refine my sketch a bit to make it look less cartoon-like but I think I’m getting closer each time I work on my piece. Another challenge I have encountered was learning how make a skin texture correctly and how the skin would look in the lighting that will be in the piece. I think I’m a bit behind in my break down and at the rate I’m going I will have to rush the piece, but I am going to stop messing around in class from now on and focus on the piece. Also if it’s needed I will come in at lunches and after school to further progress on this piece to finish on time, completely finished and portraying the message I’m aiming for.
