My idea for this piece of art was to recreate a photo I took on my trip to the rock mountains. I really liked this picture that I took and I wanted a physical version of it. 

My process for this drawing was to start by putting the grid on my original picture and my paper that I am drawing on. I used rulers, pencil, colored pencils and blending tools. Once I had the outline drawn I started shading with graphite and colored pencils. 

My artwork doesn't mean anything super important just me recreating a trip that I really enjoyed. I want my audience to think about what kinda landscape is out in Colorado. 

The most difficult part of this drawing for me was figuring out how to shade and what colors to use for sunset. I overcame the struggles of shading by practicing on different pieces of paper and using different colors. If I could change something about this drawing I wished it looked a little better than how it turned out. 

This style of art is Realism. This is unique to my personal style because I usually don't draw stuff like this, I usually stick to no color and draw animals or characters. I like the fact that you can tell what I was trying to draw.
