This drawing relates to my life because I took the picture of my dog that I used as a reference, and my dog is a big part of my life. I used charcoal pencil for the dog, and a mix of ink and charcoal for the background. I took a picture I had of my dog, then using the griding system whent square by square. To make sure I got the small details in the picture. My project evolved by adding more and more layers adding more and more detail. My next steps could be to add a little more to the background. And add some more white around the mouth of my drawing.
