Critique Questions:
1. I think overall, the craftsmanship of my drawing is good. I tried to make it as neat and well executed as i could, by drawing the shapes and highlights before i went in with the prisma color. I like the way the picture looks as a whole. 2. I definitely created a full range of values in this piece, I used light greens, dark greens, turquoise, blue, purple and black for the shadows and a lot of yellow and white for the highlights to create the illusion of depth and to create the realistic factor. 3. I represented O'keefe in my art by choosing my own picture of a natural object, aloe, as my main focus and zooming into the picture a lot so that in a way, it looked very abstract but you can still tell that it is a real life object. 4. I chose to use a lot of different cool colors to create this piece, by going in first with a medium green and then going in and adding dark green, black, blue and purple for the shadows of the piece and using yellow and white for the highlights. 5. I created contrast by using purple as the background color to make the actual focus of the piece, the plant stand out and create the dramatic factor of it. I also used a large range of colors and shades of colors to create contrast on the aloe leaves. 6. I used texture in my art to create the spikes on the side of the plant and all the little spots that you can see in my reference picture. Highlights and shadows were very important in my piece to create the illusion of the leaves overlapping and to make the art work look a lot more realistic and 3D. 7. I had a few difficulties with this drawing, i found it a struggle to create the effect of the leaves moving backwards and the shapes they actually make in person. I also found it difficult to create the spikes on the edge of the plant, i wish they looked more realistic. I also wish i could've added more detail in the background.
