Shading

   You see that photo up there, well that's my shadow project.  Most people will think it's weird, unless of course you're from New Zealand.  I wanted to draw something that reminded me of home and someone who's maori is as pretty close as you can get.  When I started drawing him I used tracing paper to get a faint outline of different areas of darkness.  After the outline was complete I started with the darkest part and then tackled different areas of the face.  Even though I don't think this drawing turned out well I'm happy I at least attempted to do it.  The only thing that was bad about this is the inexperience in shadowing and that is the only thing I would change.  Personally, shadowing is hard and not so fun but I wasn't unhappy drawing him.  I learned that even if I don't like something I can do better next time.
