I used mostly colors and various shadings to clearly depict light sources in order to achieve my goal of creating extremely realistic pictures. Knowing that I have trouble mimicking size, I chose candies with simple forms to test whether I could make my work appear nice. I used colored pencils, a marker, and watercolor to create the spheres. I only used colored pencils and markers to create the candy.

Positioning my candy the best way that I could, I decided on the current form.

This was an interesting experience for me and I learned just how important it is to go very slowly when going for a one - to - one drawing.
