I was on camp over the Easter break, and for my homework task I was asked to draw some realism/people, so I drew my brother. I got my Dad to rate the likeness out of ten, and he thought 7-8 out of 10. The likeness was well, but it was too cartoony.
My second try after my brother, was drawing my sister. This time the picture came out more human, and less cartoon-like, but much less than what she actually looked like. My Dad rated the likeness 4-5 out of 10.
After my two attempts at drawing my two siblings, I decided to draw my own free hand drawing. It still looks like a cartoon or illustration, so I have a long way to go with practicing to get to the stage where it resembles an actual human. I titled my drawing ‘Clarabelle’ because my Amma (grandmother) was named that, and I’m going to start naming my drawings or artworks from now on, so they are easily found, and I can reference them easier.
Things I would like to work on to become better at realism are noses, as I find them the hardest to draw and facial feature proportions.
