What did I learn?

Portrait:
The portrait was one of the ones I didn't like, because I don't like to draw people, since I'm not good at it. Looking at the mirror, examining all my features, seemed a little weird to me. Trying to make it look REAL was hard for me, and trying to make it look like me, but in the end, it didn't look like me.
The only thing that I thought I did good was the hair. The hair looked like MY hair, and not someone else's hair. Not everyone has the same ears, and not everyone has the same noses etc., I know that, but its hard to not draw everything the same, because we have learned in our heads to draw like that. I learned that even though not everyones the same, we all have our own ways of expressing ourselves.

For Memory:
I thought this one was the hardest, because I couldn't really remember anything about my brother. I remember what he looks like, but I couldn't remember all the details of his face, and his face shape and things like that. That was one of the most difficult things for me, plus the fact that I had to draw a person. I liked the face shape of my brother's face. I think it was an exercise to get my brain moving, and help me remember things better.

Hand:
This exercise was my favorite one because it looked like my hand. One of the difficult parts of this was that I was trying to make the exact hand size of mine, and that took a while. Making it look realistic was pretty difficult too, but I think I did a good job of making it look like my hand. The drawing had all the little wrinkly parts a hand would have and things like that. I was satisfied with how it looked like mine.. I learned to do things by just looking, and trying to estimate the sizes, and not just trace my hand around, but do my best in what I can do.

Igor upside down:
I thought Igor was easier than the portrait and for memory because I was looking at a picture, and then trying to copy the exact picture. One of the difficult things about this was trying to make the picture proportionate. For mine, the head was a little too big for his body, and so I had to change things. If one thing is off, you have to adjust the other parts to that part. That was one of the difficult parts of it.
I learned to just go with the flow, and let things just go, and let my hand move the way it wants to. It wasn't exact, but I did it and finished and I was pretty satisfied with the way it turned out. ! :D
