Description
A finished project from my Principles of Visual Communication class, in which we were to trace photos of ourselves (or a friend), map out the value areas, and assign each value a specific texture following a five-stop value scale.

What can I say about this project? I turned it in late and got a C+, ha ha. My teacher, Renata, wrote, Would have been A if not late. That'll learn me!

However, I did enjoy this project (much, much more than I have enjoyed other PVC projects, which typically involve cutting construction paper into intricate designs and pasting them onto bristol paper) and I do wish I hadn't turned it in late. I'd had the scatterbrained impression that we were given two weeks to work on it.

I spent a good four hours in the Student Commons finishing this thing after class got out. It was inked with Staedtler Pigment Liners (similar to Microns, but with darker ink and a tad more expensive). Not long before I left to head to The Oregonian, I got rather impatient and just drew the straight lines across Draco to finish him. No! Bad Jillian, bad! That's no way to treat a bearded dragon! ...I love him so. *grin*

FEAR MY HAT (I don't wear it often). This silly portrait was taken at Rockaway Beach's Fourth of July parade.

Anyway, there are many more personal nitpicks I have about this project (like the white out over my nose), but overall I love how it turned out, especially the hair.

Whee, I'm done!

[ P.S. : OMGYAY = absence of acne scars! ]
