For the reflection project I decided that I wanted to draw the clouds reflecting off of sunglasses. I took a picture of sunglasses on my face then combined it with other pictures of clouds to make a more interesting picture.
For my first sketch I just wanted to lay out the drawing and play with the colors.While doing this I realized that I needed warmer colors in the skin, and that the black was too harsh for the trees.
For my final sketch I spent a lot more time deciding which colors worked best for my skin tone, and playing with the glare of the sun on the sunglasses. I took my time layering light layers of color pencil, so the skin looked smooth and more life-like.
On my final I decided to draw the ears covered up with hair which gave me more room to show the different values in the hair. I tried to push the darker values while still keeping the blonde highlights. I also pushed the darker values around the nose, under the glasses, and on the side of the face. Overall I am happy with the piece, but if I could do it again I would make the sunglasses a more square shape that better fit the face in the picture.
