Experimental portrait project evaluation

I decided to choose another person to study rather than myself as I felt it would be easier to draw someone who I see most of the time instead of myself as I can’t look at myself when creating the pieces. I decided the artists I would research were Maggi Hambling, baptise and Andy Warhol I chose these three artists because I felt that they were more detailed in their artwork and doing an example of Maggi Hamblings work helped me when painting a my peer, I also learnt from my previous topic to be more observant and pay close attention to certain colours and where they should be placed.

I believe my mood boards were quite affective as I used a range of different media on several images and also included some of my peers interests into it as well which I think resonates well with the pieces. Although I would’ve liked to include several other types of media e.g. brusho ink and bleach. On my final piece I could’ve incorporated more into my piece taking into account for me the main goal was it had to look good, I don’t think certain media like sgraffito would’ve worked well with it. Overall I believe I have improved upon my experimental drawing skills as I only used what I was comfortable with instead of things that were new to me even though I didn’t use many different kinds on my final piece.

I feel I have improved upon time management as I managed to get everything done but I feel that because I enjoyed this project more than the others before it helped me remain focused on my work and get my work finished to a better standard . I feel I have created good mood boards and a good final piece although I would’ve been happier if I had included more media to both as it might’ve improved upon my pieces.

I enjoyed this project more as it explored things I’m more comfortable with which is why I think this project has gone better than the others before it and also why I think that my quality of work has improved and I have also found myself drawing things related toward my peer I based this project on for example he enjoys fashion and models and I drew several fashion designer sheets including characters from Disney which he likes as well.
