![]() This week for Genius Hour I finished painting my horse. It took me forever to complete and I don't think it turned out that good. The YouTube video that I watched as a tutorial was pretty complicated and was divided into three parts. When I started the project I did not know that it had three parts. The total amount of time combined of the videos was more than an hour and thirty minutes. I finished adding values to the face, ears, and nose. The face was extremely difficult to paint and I did pretty bad on that part. I also added highlights to the nose and mane. The mane was hard to "bring to life" because there are so many different hairs. So, I decided to just do it a much simpler way by painting different colored lines. I will need to back over it and touch up a few more things because I messed up on the background of the picture. For the background, I just put a bunch of little splotches of paint. I like it because I had more fun painting splotches than I did painting the horse. Keep in mind that if you ever want to paint a horse, don’t do it. Painting horse is extremely challenging. The link to the tutorial that I watched is in a previous weekly blog post. A picture of my horse painting will be posted on the slideshow on the about page. I also drew in my sketchbook this week as well. I still need to add color to it and some finishing touches, but I like it. When I first picked up my pencil and started drawing, I was trying to make it perfect. I had no fun and no enjoyment when I had to draw like that. I loosened up and started to draw again. I will finish the first page of my sketchbook over spring break. I hope to draw more in my sketchbook during spring break. I want to make an effort to draw some in it at least once every week for Genius Hour. I want to have the majority of the pages filled by the end of the twelve weeks.
