The main idea that guided through these three drawings were how precise I had to be with my line drawings. I had to make very nice clean lines and not have them look hairy. I wanted to make my art match up with what I was drawing as best as I could.  I feel like my shoes and my hand turned out really well

The process was very simple. I started with a light outline using a pencil then I sketched over some of the lines using graphite.  Once I had the outline and the shape done I added the details that I sketches using a 2H graphite pencil.

The process went through both drawings was basically how I could present a physical object and draw it on paper. I had a lot of times where I had to redraw my drawings. I wish that I had not made the drawings very dark.
