Pastel Figures

This week we worked on drawing figures and giving them value. On this day we used pastels and blended them to make the figures shaded and give them  value. I like working with pastels, the colors are just so bright and exciting! I feel like this project was pretty successful, mine may not look just like the example we were shown, but it is my own original artwork. It was harder to do the 9 shades off of the value chart with pastels, but the pastels make the overall shape look better. From this piece I learned how to give shapes value, and how to blend the pastels. If I were doing this project over again, I would make more colors of pastels available to everyone.
