Frank Flores Gonzalez – ART 104: Drawing I, Fall 2019

Student Portrait Incomplete

The process of drawing the face of a college student. I’m describing the face with charcoal. I’m using charcoal because I want to sketch my features before I put some value. In this picture, Also half of the hair is drawn out. The jacket has little shapes such as the flowers to give an idea of what the jacket should look like. I try to make sure to put value with the light and shadow to try to make it as realistic at it can. Her expression is confusion around her environment. A lot of work must be done to capture the third dimension art style.

Still Life with Trash Items

This still life consisted of a hard block with a few items on top of them. The entire is covered with a white cover with the items on top of it. The items draw consisted of paper towel empty roll, crushed can, and a small white ball. The line is constructed and waved to show the image of the white cover. There are a shadow and light within the can and ball with the white sides and black charcoal. There is a shadow of the ball and paper towel on the right side of the white block. There is a small shell drawn on the downside of the block. The drawing value shading feels like it came from a dark room the drawing of a still life might need a few improvements with the light and shadow to make it a bit realistic.

Still Life with Basic Items

This is a Still Life where the whole background is the middle color with the charcoal. In this still life, we have a skull, a skeleton bone, and a wine bottle. There are a few waved lines that represented the white that is underneath the still life. The Skull has a small crack on top of the cranial area. The teeth of the skull almost look like the teeth of a cartoon character. The bone also looks like a dog bone. The back skull is shaded darker and the part that is next to the jaw. The still life might look a little better with a little touch of shadow and light from each item if the still life was at a different angle. Overall, the still life drawing has most of its features so far.
