4 Hour Project

This project has been much different then anything else we've ever done in art because we had choice about every single aspect. I think this has made my project a lot more challenging but I think it turned out much better in the end because of all the choices I got to make about the size and positioning of everything in the picture unlike in other drawing assignments. I think the whole process went very well except for in the beginning when I messed up the size of the model. The making of the picture largely consisted of shading and then erasing and blending. The picture actually means a lot to me because I spent the majority of my summer at a beach house and at night I would always go down to the beach and just watch the ocean. I don't know whether or not the girl in the picture is me but I tried to capture the same mood that I had while I was there. This was a calm, quiet kind of acceptance of just being there in the moment.
