My art skills have definitely improved over the year. I felt as though the extended freedom throughout the year contributed to this. Mainly, I felt as though I improved on filling in space and utilizing more detail (but spending about the same amount of time, or less on the drawing). I found myself enjoying the assignments more and actually feeling fulfilled on the finished product.
I mainly used the sketch assignments throughout the year to consider the amount of detail in robots. In complete honesty, I don't really enjoy drawing things such as robots or machines in general, because they have so much detail for no gain and somehow the detail is detailed. Overall, I used them to really scope out drawing things I wasn't used to. When I started, I really wanted a sci-fi city with some sort of person at the front. I actually started with the buildings + person at the front, then started considering the rest. Honestly, I felt as though just a city might feel kind of not using the tools from the year, so I decided on a more cyber city and added the ogre. I wanted to add the ogre because it felt slightly more futuristic, especially since in my head I've created this fake backstory where the ogre is basically a dictator and eats criminals. At the beginning of the year, I didn't really know how to use all the space and ended up with some pretty empty sketches. I didn't know what else to add in for the things such as battle scenes. The first two especially perplexed me, and there ended up being a lot I was unhappy with. For the third quarter, I started adding more things to fill space and make it seem more realistic and have some emotion. Especially for this last sketch, I feel like I filled in a lot of space and added more detail without really having to worry or trying to add too much for far away areas. Overall, I'm really happy with this sketch and that just shows me that these sketches have even improved my self confidence in art as I improved.
