Contour Drawing

We practiced contour drawing this week in art.

Contour drawing is where you draw a picture without lifting the pencil and not looking at what we are drawing, so its just one continuous line.

We had to practice contour drawing our hand and my drawing looked really funny.

My painting

FOr art we are painting a portrait of ourselves, and i have almost finished painting the details of for my body and will be starting Meg's details soon soon.

WE have learnt in art about tone, and it was very difficult painting on the shadows because it was hard to get the right colour of the shadows.

I also found it very difficult finding the right skin tone for Meg's skin, i spent most of the lesson trying to perfect it.

I am very pleased with my work so far but i don't think i will get to finish it because we have very little time left.
