12th Grade Drawing

Braeton Podoski "Man on beach"

9x12," Graphite on Paper, 2021

I did a drawing of a man on the beach relaxing in a chair. I got the idea from thinking of warm weather. I like the beach and just chilling in the heat. I started with a photo from the internet for the guy in a chair and I changed some details. For doing some shading I used a blending tool. The point of this drawing is for it to just be chill. When people look at this they should think about themselves relaxing on the beach with no care in the world. I struggled on making the water. I would draw the water and erase it. I watched some videos on drawing water to help me. If I were to draw this again there would be color involved. This drawing is realistic.

Braeton Podoski "My 1977 Ford F150"

9x12," Color Pencil on Paper, 2021

This drawing I did is from a picture of a vehicle I own. I decided to draw my truck because I like it. I started by tracing a photo of my truck for the outline of it. I used some colored pencils for the colors.There is no deep meaning with the artwork. I just like my truck. When someone looks at this I hope they think of a vehicle they like.I struggled with small details but was able to do it. If I did this again I would maybe try using markers.
