CHLOE KETCHAM

For my final drawing, I drew with a black and white charcoal pencil on a gray paper for the base. We chose a picture out of our camera roll and put it in the black and white scale, the value was supposed to have a good range, while also having a lot of gray to focus on. I chose this picture because of the value range and because it is a picture I took that I didn't ever know what to do with even though I really liked it. When blending the black and white charcoal, it is important not the blend it all together because it will turn everything gray ruining the artwork. I really like the face of the bulldog because the black changes to white with a little gray in between very smoothly and the details are very defined. I am satisfied with this drawing because it is the first charcoal drawing i have done, and it is very simple to tell what the drawing is while representing my school spirit.
