Independent art project

For this project we were given the chance to go back through the year and choose one block we would like to create another piece of art for. I chose to do a pencil drawing of my grandfather. I chose to create this because for a long time I have wanted to do a drawing of my grandfather, but never did it because I was too lazy. This gave me the opportunity and the motivation to do this drawing. I used value and contrast while creating this piece. There wasn't much change during the time I took making this piece. There isn't much meaning other than it is my grandfather. The project relates to my life because the person is my grandfather. I like the background. I struggled with making the gray values the correct gray because of the lack of contrast in the photo. If I was going to restart I would redo most, if not all, of the shading, I think it is very choppy and not very consistent.
