I spend a lot of my time in the car with my parents. I always enjoy this because my family is very big on music. In the car we are always singing and dancing in our seats. I also spend most of my time in school.

My goals and intentions with this drawing were to get more comfortable with using charcoal. I accomplished those goals by getting more comfortable with using charcoal. What surprised me most was how the people around me all have completely different styles of drawing. One challenge I had to face getting the texture of the pumpkins. Also one of the stems kept getting rubber off. I met those challenges by putting a piece of paper over my drawing to keep from smudging. I also kept working at the texture and thankfully got a pleasant end result. I experience the shift from right to left brain many times when I just zoned out and let my hand move. My drawing really works with the shadows around the pumpkins. It gives it an eerie aura. I learned not to overthink everything and to just let my hand move when drawing. If I had a do-over I would focus more on the bottom left pumpkins shading. I think the best thing about my work is the shadows around the pumpkins.
My goals and intentions with this drawing were to get to a point were I felt truly comfortable using charcoal. I accomplished these goals by getting more practice with charcoal. What surprised me most about doing this drawing was how soothing it was to draw. I didn't overthink anything and just did it. The most difficult challenge I had to face was drawing the fork. I met that challenge by asking for help from the people around me and Mr. Gaudreau. I experienced the shift from left to right brain when I was working on the shadows and the "black" air. I think my drawing really works where the egg is. I really like my egg. I have learned that it is ok to try a few different ways of drawing something if you aren't really sure where to start. Another artist in the class I learned from was Alyssa. I learned about light and how lines can disappear where the light hits. If I had a do-over I would spend more time on the cup. I think the best thing about my work is the egg....
