This is a pen value chart. For hatching I used finess with the flick of my wrist to get consistent results. With hatching I am using the flick of my wrist in two directions and applying lighter pressure as I get lighter in the value chart. Invented shading was my own creation, where I flicked my wrist in circular motions. The idea is to start with more layers and pressure the darker your value is and lighten up slowly as you go brighter in the chart. Same with stippling except it consists of aggressively pecking your paper with the tip of your pen until all the tiny dots come together and form a solid black square of wasted time and impatience. Are you happy Rossi.

Idea for my Georgia O' Keeffe inspired close up drawing. Here's an outline of a close up flower. In progress final piece, I made sure to add raindrops for more texture. I would've originally stopped here because that's my art style. I don't usually add a lot of value and I like things looking subtle. I chose to use blue water color even though my reference picture was originally pink. It contrasts better in my opinion. Well that escalated quickly. This is the final final piece.
I feel it's neat for my experience in watercolor. I would hope it's well crafted. I tried to add texture to the floor so it didn't look too flat. As for depth and value, I did fairly well. I know that because as I was adding layer after layer I had time to re evaluate my entire life and question my existence. I do feel I used a full range of values considering I didn't use black. I kept layering the blues. I think I represented Georgia's art in the complimentary colors and close perspective. And she likes making abstract flowy art and my piece fits that category. I used blue and orange because they're complimentary and kind of remind me of the beach. Or something summery. Stereotypically it's a more masculine look on something flowy and feminine and I like contrasting in ideas and colors. I used the raindrops as a way to show light was hitting them, and added dark shadows to where the petals overlapped one another. I also added darker colors to create texture and shadows. I had a hard time adding the texture and layering layers after layers without messing up texture. I had to re apply a lot of details, I also missed a day and had to think of ideas on the spot. I don't feel too connected to the piece and it caused me to feel a lack of motivation to finish but this project taught me something. To improve my piece I would've added more shadows and color to the flower instead of making it one solid color. I also had little to zero experience in drawing and shading water or rain drops. So I would be a bit more patient with those. Its very easy to blend but you can over blend it. But as easily it is to blend, it's also really hard to blend because it doesn't look right when blended because you can just see the paper through it. I tried using different colors to show the change in value but it didn't blend as much as it did make a huge mess.
water color practice, my favorite is Seran wrap and gradient for techniques. dry brushing helps add value.
They look more realistic if you squint at it. This was my first time layering prisma pencils. I chose the two peppers so that there could be a different color chart for each one.
I wasn't aware what I was meant to do with the pencils, we practiced using them on spheres and I was supposed to add more pencil and make it look more waxy. Haven't used these pencils before. The correct way anyway.
This was my warm colors watercolor apple with salt. The salt didn't act with the water the way I wanted but I'm happy with the colors. This Apple looks sick, not gonna lie. coolest apple I've drawn? I don't really draw apples so. This was used with cool colors and Saran Wrap, which is what gave it that texture. Shameful color scheme, this was the choice of colors with water-colored pencils. I wanted to make this apple a bit different, but it's just a sad sad apple with abnormal colors. I've never used the pencils before so this is a first. This is the monochrome water color apple with warm and cool colors and stippling to add onto the value, I thought the pale backgrounds would make it stand out more.
