My favorite part of the portrait is my jacket and show shirt, my least favorite part how nose turned out and my shading at the top part of my helmet. I would have changed how I shaded my helmet instead of shading up and down I would but more of a curve to it to create the round shape of the helmet more. I would also change the shape of my nose be chase the bottom part looks a little strange. I mostly shaded using graphite and pressure but there were some tricky spots that I used smudging to help me with shading. I was surprised by how my portrait turned out. At the beginning I thought it was going to be really bad and I didn't think I could draw it but it ended up coming out a lot better than I thought it would. To create this artwork I started by sketching the outline on my silhouette then I moved on to creating my jacket and show shirt. Then moved on to my helmet and lastly did my face and shading to finish it off.

The first thing I did was roll out my clay. Then I shaped it to the shape of the bowl i wanted. This could happen because of the elasticity in the wet clay. I did this same thing for making to cover to the bowl and the letters for it. I didn't not add texture to my bowl but while I was shaping it my fingers left indents inside of it. After I got the desired shape I wanted my clay stayed out overnight so it got leather hard. This way I could smooth out any unwanted edges and i let it sit out again. the next stage was greenware when the pottery is bone dry and ready to go in the kiln. Once the pottery is fired in the kiln it is called bisque. At this stage i glazed my pottery then put it back into the kiln to be fired for a final time.
Notan uses negative and positive space to create artwork. To start this piece I didn’t have anything in mind I just started making random shapes in it. I didn’t find this project very difficult sometimes it could be a little hard to lift off the white paper after you cut it but besides for that it was pretty easy. I would say my piece was successful because I never had a plan in my mind but I think it ended up looking good.
I decided to be holding my pony’s nameplate because it means something to me. I did use the same techniques as I did for the value-shaded hand. My favorite part of my artwork the darker shading on my inside of my hands, my least favorite is the finger that is holding the top of the nameplate.
The simple grid helps with transferring the drawing from the transparency sheet to the paper because you can just focus on one section at a time. The tools I used to make the drawing appear 3D is a drawing pencil, graphite stick, eraser, and a tortillion.
The obstacles that are in transferring the 3D world on to paper is that you have to use a bunch of shading to make it seem like its 3D. A plane is a mental concept that artist use to draw 3D pictures. Drawing is copying what you see flattened on the picture plane.
