I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY HANDS ON A CAMERA TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY LANDSCAPE... xP ((maybe someone would let me borrow theirs??))

I feel really good about my self portrait using hatching. I took my time even though I applied the lines pretty fast. I thought I paid attention to the planes of value and pushed my darks and lights where they needed to be, though someone else may see something I don't....... It looks like me too.xD

Doing the night drawing was not enjoyable. I was certainly having a hard time. It's not that I don't understand the concept, it's a matter of execution. I found myself constantly moving around trying to find a composition that I could handle. There was a lot of erasing because starting over seemed like the thing to do. In fact that's how most of the homework for this class has been for me. Time is not a factor because I give myself plenty of time to knock out a drawing, it's just that the finished product is not so finished. So maybe I should spend even more time really trying to get on the paper what I see in the real world. In class I work at a nice pace but I guess when I do the homework I rush ((using that term lightly)). After trying to draw a house, tree, streetlights and garbage bins, I went with the two cars under the streetlamp. It seemed easy enough but it still needs a lot of work. xD
