Drawing II
Ben Thiel "Black & White Drawing"
"9x12", Graphite on Paper, 2022
My idea was a tiger. I got my idea because a tiger can be black and white sometimes and it evolved great.
I used sketching pencils and blending stumps.
I wanted to draw a tiger because I like tigers. I want them to know that I like to draw animals. It was meant to be a realistic drawing.
The most difficult part was tracing the outline. I use a light source to help me trace better. I would change it to a different animal.
The style is realistic. I use lights sources all the time. I love the stripes because they look like a pattern.

Ben Thiel "Collage & Mixed Media"
"9x12", Collage, 2022
My idea was mountains. I got my idea because I have seen other collages of mountains and mine turned out perfect.
I used a glue bottle, scissors, and pieces from magazines.
I wanted to do mountains because I have seen pictures of mountains and wanted to do my own. I want them to know that I want to visit mountains. It was meant to be a collage.
The most difficult part was covering the white spots that I missed. I used smaller pieces of scrap to fill in the blanks. I would change it to an ocean.
The style was realistic. I cut out different shapes to fill in the sky. I like the mountains because I hid something in there.
