Reflection:

When the first time I started this project, I feel nervous. I didn’t have too much experience with figure drawing, in this way, I was kind of confuse about the human how to express the human body. Because of this project, I started to do a lot of research in different kind of figure drawing. And find out a lot of imagine of model I want to draw. I print them out at 11*17 inch, and show them to my professor. Finally she helps me find out a model which has best quantity for drawing.  After that I went to the Blick store and find some tracing paper with the nice quality and them draw the model out by using graphic. And them, I want to draw model’s muscle shape, so I search online find some ways to draw the muscles by using the curves and shapes. Finally I scan my drawing and put them into the photoshop to clean the background and edges I had in drawing. I change the adjustment tool like brightness & contrast, black & white and hue & saturation to make the dark part more dark and white park more clear. For the outcome of this project, I am really proud of  myself and I really like how to encourage me to do more research and really learn a lot from it.
