I Create Original Art
I created original art in my up close pencil drawing. One of the ways I did this was by coming up with my original idea. Many people had picture references to help them which I did too but I mostly drew by looking at my own pencil which made my drawing more original. My last way I created original art was by making each pencil a little different for example some having broken led making my drawing unique and original.
I Developed My Art Making Skills
Even though "Not Every Pencil is Perfect" wasn't my best piece I developed many art making skills. Making the pencils up close was challenging which helped me develop skills. I had to learn how to show detail and shade properly. The biggest challenge was the wooden table which helped me learn how to crate texture.
I Take Risks
I took multiple risks big and little in my final drawing. My biggest probably being whether to do a background or not. I decided to do a wood table as the background and at first i was hesitant and thought it would turn out bad. It ended up turning out actually pretty good so i'm glad I decided to take a risk.
