When we first started this I thought it was going to be really easy.  I had done something kind of like this at my old school so I was pretty confident in my ability. Then I caught a cold and everything went down hill from there. I could not work on the drawing because I could not see the tower from my house. I had a lot of make up work in all of my classes so art did not cross my mind until I finally came back to school and everyone was putting details on their pictures and I had not even drawn the proper structure for my picture yet.  I panicked and started to draw without knowing the steps or the angles or anything. When I was done I was proud of what I had drawn until I glanced at the picture beside me and noticed that theirs was three dimensional and mine was two dimensional. I erased my picture and started over. Then I asked the guy next to  me to help me out with the steps but he would help because he did not want to mess me up.  I asked Mr.Nelson and he helped me get the proportion done for the top of the building but I needed more help on the bottom of the building. The next couple of days with art class I was doing details instead of finishing the structure  so parts looked good and other parts looked bad. Then I finished the structure but the details were not proportionate so I had to erase most of them and try to finish in two days. I finished, but I did not feel as though it was my best work at all. I was probably the worst thing I have turned in all year. Hopefully the water colors will come out better.
