I am English, American and a brother

I am English, American and a brother. Looking back at my drawing, I can say that a couple of my strengths were my ability at drawing freehand, the amount of imagination that I put into the drawing, and how much I cherish my heritage. As I continued to think about my piece of art, I saw that the Treasure map I drew came out very well. The red lines that lead the way to the X are very easy to see. Also, the actual treasure explains more of the overall drawing, showing how much I care for all of the things that are in my life.

Alex Demaria


Alex Demaria's Collecting Honey specifically caught my eye, the way he uses the hive and connects with an actual village really fascinates me. I really like how he puts so much detail into one branch and then just has an outline of one, like it is fading. Also, the amount of detail and marksmanship he has on the hive and houses amazes me. This piece of art shows creativity and use of language excellently.
Question for Alex, When did u learn you possessed so much talent, and when did you start to pursue it?

Self-Portrait

While I was explaining my Portrait, I started to feel much more confident about my ability in Art. I shared my entire project, and the members of the feedback group reacted well to my drawing. They thought that it was quite good and that the story I explained from it came out very well. There was no negative feedback from the members which was very nice, which I think meant that it came out very well. Up to this point, I am completely finished with this work of Art, because at this point any changes I could make would be drastic.
