I knew immedietely that I wanted to choose lines for the elements of art project. I love pretty much all types of lines, and I especially think its really cool when people, animals or objects are broken down into simple lines to create a simplistic image. I thought about doing scribble art, because I've always thought that was really neat as well. I decided on trying to create a face out of a single, continuous line ( although I could strech to two if I have to). To practice and design what I was going to do, I tried to create multiple different drawings of the same image, all without picking up my hand when drawing the picture. My resource practice image was my friend's pencil pouch, which showed an image of a sort of mermaid princess. All together I made about four copies of that image, and found that with each practice try it got much easier to create a more finished looking image. I had to learn to let the line flow, because I couldn't pick up my pencil and erase what I had just made, or start off a new line with something new. At first it was frusturating, because I couldnt make the angles and features of a face "perfect". But as I practiced, I ended up really enjoying what I was doing. It took a lot of focus and was relaxing to make once I let go of trying to perfect the face. I especially enjoyed making everything in the image connected, because I love to think of the lines in a person's face, and how they're all contected to make a complete image. I figured I would try and use this method to draw some sort of portait. When I opened my phone to look for an inspiering idea or interesting profile to draw, I saw my partner's face on the backround image of my phone and thought, "why not?". I've always thought he had very strong and unique features that would be interesting to try and recreate on paper. And since I have almost a year and a half's worth of pictures of him on my phone, I had plenty of different expressions and angles to choose from. It took a few tries (I think three or four) and different pictures until I had a copy I liked. On the bottom of my page is my final copy, which is done with two lines and traced in pen. I wanted to make it out of one line, but I struggled in the placement for the mouth, so I picked up my pencil and started a seperate line, specifically for the mouth. Overall, I really enjoyed this style of artwork, and I would be happy to consider it for my final portfolio.
