review

Over all these two drawings took be around 3 hours to complete simply because i took my time to add extra detail and shadowing to create a more realistic image, i used different shades of pencils to create depth and tone and ear buds in order to blend out my shading to create a softer shadow. Taking more time over you drawing makes the outcome of your drawing more detailed and realistic, With the simple steps listed above you can get a basic outline of your face and the structure, adding detail with shading portrays more structure and makes the image become 3D.

Final project and Evaluation

Final Project- Photography 

Evaluation 

Planning

I find it quite hard to plan photographs, as i feel planning them means that they look too fake. Therefore I simply planned the places and styles of the photographs not the actual structuring of the photographs, that way i think that they came out quite natural.

Artistic Techniques 

I used a number of different camera angles to take different shots for my photographs, this was so that i was able to get different perspectives and create different atmospheres in each image. To edit my images afterwards i didn't use a specific soft wear i simply used the already existing camera soft wear on iphone to edit and adjust the settings in the image. I used the settings to change the colouring, brightness, contrast , tone, shadowing ,lighting and black point in each image, this was to make the quality of the image the best that i could get it. Over all each image took around 3-4 minutes to edit.


Have they been successful?

Yes i think the majority of the images that i had taken were successful, however next time i will plan out my images more and make sure i have more scenarios and models in my images instead of repeating the same people in my photography. This is so i can create more variety in my images.

Inspiring artists 

Along the way of doing my research looking at different types of photographers and different areas in photography i have found many people who's work i find inspiring. A lot of the artists that i like do a lot of urban and street photography i find that i like the aesthetic and look of those images more than natural surroundings in photographs, that setting is kind of what i took as inspiration for my own images.


Overall

Overall i think my final piece has turned out quite well, i used a few different camera angles to create different perspectives and edited the images so that they stand out and are dramatic. I tried to portray shadow and light in my photographs to create tone.
