In this assignment we had to draw a picture in black in white, using charcoal, graphite, or ink. The title of this piece is called "Peeco". I created a portrait of my cat. I used the following mediums to create my work: graphite pencil and charcoal. Some of the art-making techniques I used are: drawing, shading, and outlining. I used the following elements of art in my artwork: line, shape, texture, and space. To add interest to my composition, I used these principles of design: balance, contrast, movement, and pattern. This artwork is about my cat and the details in his fur. This completed work makes me feel happy because I think its funny. By creating this project I learned how to make fur in black and white. In future pieces of art I may try taking more time and constantly looking at the original picture to improve. I added my own original style by drawing my cat with a funny face because I love my cat.
