That's Almost What We Look Like?

    I've finally got pictures of our self-portraits in progress so here they are.

    My eyes are still in a state of "that looks funky", but I feel like my mouth and nose/nostril areas actually resemble my face.

    In our drawing class today we began to look at perspective through observation rather than through formulas/systems like in my perspective class. We did a drawing in one-point perspective, where all things parallel to each other and perpendicular to the spectator's eye recede into one vanishing point. It may not look too dynamic, but it ends up creating space, and looking visually "accurate".

    It looks pretty good in person, and you can see all of the line-weight variation and nuances up close, but from afar a lot of the lines look to be of the same importance.

    My sculpture looks a little weird. It doesn't look like me yet, but it is better than the last update we had of our self-portraits. Cody's looks fantastic. So far it's the only one that looks like him. I found out I recieved a C+ on my homework assignment for Drawing, I cried. Not because I received a C+ but because I had been doing something a large portion of my life and had been getting A's then when you think you're "good" at something and they smack you with " you're average". I guess I have to figure this out. My stubbornness is going to put me behind. I need to punch it in the face and start from the beginning, and act like I suck so I can learn more.
