I created this art piece because I wanted to practice working on my shading technique. It means quite a lot to me because I worked hard on it and put a lot of detail into it. I decided to use graphite to create my artwork because as I stated before, I wanted to work on shading; specifically I wanted to work on using the smudging technique because I haven't been using it much recently. I was very familiar with my medium which is another reason I chose it. I often use graphite because I prefer the look of it as opposed to other possible mediums. I chose the dimensions of my piece because I wanted to make it as life size as possible, therefore I created this piece using a full 14" by 11" sheet of paper. I was inspired by the area that I usually create art in. I spend a lot of time there so creating a picture of it seemed meaningful to me. To draw this piece I took a picture of my desk with the things in the drawing on it and used that as a reference picture. My piece is a connection to the shading unit we did, I just switched the technique that I used. I still need to try and overcome properly sizing the things in my drawings. Sometimes when I draw objects the proportions can seem a bit off. Overall I'm pretty happy with my piece. I did have slightly higher expectations but I think over time I will improve.
