Cali Dykema (Dog Drawing)
12x10, Graphite, 2023
I got the idea because I love my dog and I thought my parents would like it because they love our dog too.
I first did the graph and outlined it on the graph then after I erased the graph and started coloring it. I used a pencil on the grey parts and then just used a shading stick to get the white parts out of it. Then I got the colors I needed like red, blue, and white.
The artwork means my dog because he is a good dog. I want my audience to know what my dog looks like.
The most difficult part was shading the grey so there weren't any white spots in it. I just kept shading it so there wouldnt be any white spots.
It is Graphite art. I like the whole thing but if I were to redo it would make the legs a little bigger and have more details on them.

I found a T-shirt design on Google and then I found this one so I traced it. I got the idea because I think mushrooms look cool and thought it would be a cool idea.
I traced the picture I found the idea then put it in the foam and then I clipped it down and traced it into the foam and then I went to the back and rolled the ink on the foam and put my colored paper over it and pressed it down then I put them on the drying rack and washed off my foam.
I want them to think about a T-Shirt idea becuase thats what it's uspposed to be and it doesnt really mean much I just liked the idea and so I did it.
The most difflct thing was putting the design into the foam because you had to push hard enough into thr foam so it would show up.
It is ink. I like them I wish they showed up more on the paper so its not as spotty and press harder next time so it shows up more on the paper.
