Mixed Media

Value Strips

9" x 12"

ink, charcoal, graphite drawing paper.

Bowdie

18" x 24"

ink, charcoal, graphite water color paper.


When making this mixed media drawing, I chose my aunt’s dog. I chose him because I love him a lot. Bowdie is a blond dog so I knew he would be easy to draw. I used ink, charcoal, and 2b graphite. I found doing the head very difficult because I kept getting the eyes wrong and the noise alone took 1 1/2 hours (1 1/2 class). I found doing the legs and the chest the easiest. When doing the snow, I found It very hard to get it to look like snow. I think it doesn't even look like it. I also found it hard to make the trees. this project was very hard.
