2. I thought I did fairly well at observing in these drawings. I put a lot of detail into my drawings, and these were some of the best examples of my detail. This applied to the proportion of some of the drawings' elements, small lines, or subtle shapes or shading. Besides the detail, I did do fairly well at observing and capturing the general shape of the figures drawn.

Because of all this detail, I could have done better on envisioning and creating some of the ideas or elements from my mind. It was supposed to be a sketching project, but I still think there could have been a bit more simplicity derived from creativity.

I thought I did fairly well with Stretching and Exploring in this project. There wasn't much instruction on specifics, so I liked having freedom in my materials used and harnessed this freedom a lot. For example, the blue wire was a very hard material to work with, but I eventually found ways to manipulate it fairly precisely in ways like the jacket and shoes. I also found some ways to build on previous experiences with making wire men and improved some techniques.

I thought this was a fairly artistic project, but it didn't have quite enough expression. It had elements that I thought would be fun to make and incorporate, but they didn't totally serving much meaning. The whole thing itself didn't have as much movement as would be expected from parkour, so I could have improved on the posing of the figure, after crafting him.
