I think my pieces was pretty successful in the fact that it represented my subject matter pretty well. I guess that it does look like a sea dragon underwater, to some extent. Again, I wasn't too happy with the proportions of this final sea dragon, but I do think it's a pretty good considering. I also like how the large blue sheet of paper sort of balance the top-heaviness of the nose.
If I could go back and change one thing it would be, of course, the proportions. I try to copy the second draft more precisely.
From this project, I learned that shadows can be used in lieu of lines, which was really cool. I tried to do that for the top part of the head, where the eye is sort of set into the thicker head-bone. Also, to indicate where the cheek muscles are and how the head settles onto the neck. I think that, overall, I did a pretty good job of indicated elevation changes with value.
(Also, I learned that I really ought to find a smudging tool other than my finger. I got a blister that pretty much takes up the entire pad of my right pointer finger, while blending in the ocean, which is very annoying.)
