This project started a little rough. At first, I wanted to draw Jay Gatsby from the novel, The Great Gatsby. I started to draw the head and had some troubles with it. It was a weird shape and just awkward to draw. When I got done with the head and facial, it looked nothing like Gatsby at all. I redrew it about 3 times. I just could not make it look like Jay at all!!! It was honestly terrible. On my third try, my good friend Ali Sern told me it looked like a monk. I just sat there and laughed. I thought she was joking or just making fun of my art work. Come to find out, she was being completely serious and told me to look a monk up on google. So I did! I found one that looked exactly what I drew. It was so funny. So that is how I drew my fabulous monk!
I learned that I am not very good at drawing a portrait of someone. I learned how to draw a eye by its dimensions and detail. I also worked on my shading in this project. The more we shade the better I am getting at it. I also learned how to draw lips and a nose. Man noses are difficult. I just could not get it right!!! You want to challenge your art skills, draw a nose haha! Seriously though draw one. It looks weird at first, but it is actually right. Make sense? haha
