The value drawing

Well i traced on the photo of his face and drawing all the different light shapes that there were. Then i transfered the rough copy of it onto my sketchbook paper this is where i started shading in the darker shapes and also making it not obvious that shapes were there. It was pretty hard to shade his chin area and his forhead for some reason. I then used a charcoal stick to color in his hair and to give it a complete and dark effect. i probably could have worked on this picturea  bit more though.

Painting with moss?

Mr.Sands made moss with this special formula and it smelled pretty gross. although it looked worse. it was fun to paint with though because it made it a little harder because you had to keep dipping the paintbrush because it ran out of moss a lot.

These were the ingredients he used in making the moss we painted with. and mr sans made it very clear not to eat buttermilk  because its not made to be food. and it smelled really bad

the face i painted. I thought it actually didnt look very
good but i could have spent more time on it.The project worked pretty well with having the moss but the moss didnt grow and it eventually came off during the rain. If we were doing the project over again i would consider doing it in an easier acces place with a bigger wall and alot more moss. I learned that you can paint or color with any thing. and it doesnt have to be paint.

we were all painting on the wall but i think it washed away in the storm.

This is the skeleton of the famous nintendo character Mario who is in like every game. As you can see he has bones in his mustache, eyebrows and ears. Marios hands are indeed bigger than his feet because he tends to use them more often while driving, or punching characters in some of his video games.
 
This picture is mario, when he actually has flesh, eyes and clothes. Mario is actually itallian but you can easily tell by his mustache which believ it or not has bones in it. Mario has the classic overall jeans with giant shoes because his feet are rather big and his toes are pretty fat. This is actually a picture taken from the game mario super smash bros. 


I Think this peice turned out very good and i spent about the whole period on it anyway. I was erasing non stop and kept on drawing. I think this peice was pretty succesfull because i did work very hard on it. The most difficult part of this project for me was the hand (the left one). It had an awkward position and i had trouble doing the finger bones. I learned that can you be creative with whatever you do even when its supposed to look like something or be the human body skeleton.
