Full of Energy



Full of Energy, a portrait, is a stylized human figure described about my Grammar class teacher. It was finished on Painter X, a computer program, and almost every computer in SCAD has this software. There are some points that I focused on which are facial expression, color and pose. First, the facial expression was the most important key for a successful portrait that makes the viewers can tell who the topic is. My idea came from one of my Grammar teacher’s photo which I took last year, and I fixed the face by adding my memory of my teacher. Then, I was tried to emphasize the color of my teacher’s hair which is red, and I wanted it to look bright. After that, I started thinking about what kind of poses that could represent my teacher’s personality. I have done several drafts, and finally figure out what I need. However, the biggest problem that the printer didn’t works well happened during my drawing progress. I spent two hours to fix my printer, and it took almost the same long as my drawing time.
