This concentration was a request by a friend who wanted just a pencil drawing of her. This piece i took as an opportunity to move away from chalk and try to go for a different medium. I like to draw in pencil a lot and i like this drawing, though what i have to say about this will make my opinion sound otherwise. This drawing feels a little rushed and i still feel like i could've done a lot better with my shading and likeness. The lips turned out a little pout like, where as in the picture, she isn't pouting whatsoever. I like this picture because it was like a little breath of fresh air, a change from what i was already using. This is my 4th concentration and add my friend on snapchat- sofia.guzzman.
This piece was inspired by my uncle who is a horse jockey. This man has shown me that if you work hard at what you want, you will definitely succeed. As i look at this picture, i feel it to have some missing value in the face of my uncle and the horse. This is a problem that will be left to be fixed in the future, as well as the background. The background will have an endless amount of horseshoes in various sizes place in different places in the page. One thing i do like about this piece is the way each figure is placed. One thing i dislike about this composition is the almost cartoony effect that i have put on it, i will try my hardest to make sure it will never happen again. Unfortunately i feel the use of chalk pastel that is having this effect. I will be using different mediums in the future. This is my third concentration, and i will do better in the future.
I love my mom with all my heart, and because my original concentration was memories from my life, I decided to draw her. She is an inspiration in my life to keep going with what i want from it and i can never thank her enough. My mom loves flowers so when i was in the process of coming up with this idea, i knew i had to put some kind of floral design of some sort. I would like to add a well done background in the future. I wanted to use bright colors to show my mom's bright personality. A challenge that i see that i have faced here was time. Time is still a challenge at this time because it feels like every project is finished in a rush. Hopefully i find a way to calm myself in these times of stress. My concentration to this day is portraits of family and friends. This is also my second concentration piece.
