All of these are my drawing drafts, and my zine drafts, leading up to my final work on both drawings and my zine.

Before I started my drawings, I knew I wasn't very good at drawing real-life figures or structures. It's just been a struggle for a really long time and even though I've tried my best at drawing what I need, it's never as good as I would like it to be. Before we started drawing our anatomically correct drawings, we were instructed to draw objects given to us; small sculptures, flowers, mugs, etc. From here, we would look at the different elements of Art and how we can use them to create these drawings to feature what was needed. Throughout these activities, I always felt myself doubting how I would finish these drawings at their best draft, and even throughout the project, I was really worried.
I didn't think I could draw my anatomically correct drawings, and I worried for the sake of myself (maybe I didn't want to learn how to draw as good as Ms. Nuvia or I was doubting myself too much) and for the sake of my drafts. I couldn't see myself improving, I'm gonna be honest. But after a while, I knew I had to stay quiet and just try my best. So, I seek out some help from my friend, Thalia, who loves to draw and asked her how I could make it better. She was so nice about it, and offered to help me. Immediately, she started pointing to certain parts of my drawings (the middle, veins, outline, etc.) and started telling me where I should add value, where more line formation was needed, where I needed to shade and add texture. All of this helped, and in the end, I think I did okay. If I would've asked more questions and maybe gotten help from Ms. Nuvia, I know I could've done a much better job with both drawings. |
