Of all the mini lessons I think the charcoal drawing was the most challenging. It was hard to learn all the techniques of charcoal, learning to shade, etc. I think it was a good experience though, because I learned a lot of new techniques!
In my peace I did use my own unique techniques. I made sure that what I was drawing made me and was also using new and old techniques I was learning or new. I also used colors and other things that I enjoyed using or liked.
I learned new techniques with tools I already new. Like colored pencils! I have used colored pencils since I was little but with this project I was given the opportunity to learn new ways of using just ordinary colored pencils. With all these new techniques I was able to really enhance my art and bring it to the next level.
