Mixed Media

*What is the main idea that guided your artwork? (What are you trying to say or figure out with your work?)
i was trying to make realistic mushrooms.

*How was the work made? (What SPECIFIC materials did you use?)
i used charcoal, graphite and ink on watercolor paper and sketched out what i saw on my refrence photo after gridding it and the giant paper, going square by square.

*What processes did you go through between your idea and your finished piece? Did you research, practice, revise, experiment, etc.” It is NOT about how you physically made your artwork.
i looked up other artwork made with charcoal and ink and tried to do what the other artwork did. i also experemented with both the charcoal and the ink because i am new to ink and have very little experience with charcoal.
