Sierra's Portrait Project

My drawing is of a girl , that I like to think is of me. I have placed a crown on top of the head to represent that she should be treated like royalty and that she has importance to other people. Also the girl doesn't have eyes because it shows that she tries not to judge people based on what they look like but what the character of the person is . The girl in the picture is black because I am a black girl and I wanted to show that black girls should be treated like a queen and have respect from everyone and for themselves. While I was making my drawing I first started off with the idea that I wanted to make a portrait of myself. Then I started to think about what I wanted to have in the picture represent when it is finally completed, that is how I came up with the ideas of the things that are in my drawing. I think that this drawing is very good for me because it showed myself that I can make a drawing that has meaning. For my drawing I used color pencils because I felt as though it would really making my drawing better and embellish it better than other materials. At first I started by testing the color pencils that I wanted to use, so that I knew which color I wanted to make everything. I am proud of the finally outcome of my drawing. I think it showed my growth in my art journey.
