Grayscale Portrait

Principles and Elements of Design: For this project, we used value by using the ink and adding water to make tints of the black ink, and adding more ink to make is darker, which gives it the illusion of shadow and light and also gives it the illusion of depth. The shapes are also organic because there are not sharp straight lines, and everything is rounded and curvilinear. 

CRAFT: I tried to not color outside the lines and make everything smooth and neat.

MASTERY: My brushstrokes were a little messy and visible so I think I could have cleaned it up a bit to make the colors more solid. Also, sometimes the ink would fade out and I would try to make the same color but the colors wouldn't match up, but I tried to match the colors as best as I could.

RELATE: Relates to the organic and geometric shapes project both of the projects required that you make value, but instead of adding white, I just added more water to make grey in this one. Also, in this project, there were organic shapes.
