My name is Madhura Patwardhan, I’m 12 years old and I am from India. I was born in Mumbai, India but I have lived in Singapore my whole life. I joined UWCSEA in Grade 2 and I have been at the school for almost six years. I am currently in Grade 7 and I have learned lots of interesting and inspiring things in art over Grades 2 - 7. What I enjoy most about art is drawing and sketching. I also enjoy looking at paintings with lots of bright colours. I love sculpting and creating models of things out of clay. At the start of the Grade 7 year our task in art was to draw a self-portrait. Before starting the final drawing of the self-portrait, we attempted a drawing of the human eye in preparation. At first, I drew a really large eye. Then my teacher showed us how she draws a human eye and suggested I draw the eye roughly to scale.
I would like to know how I could improve this piece of artwork, especially where I could add more shading. I also wonder how I could add colour and make the eye drawing look more realistic.
