This final shoe project to has turned out very well. Yes, it may not have any pen in it; however, it consists of a variety of pencils with different softness. There are numerous techniques used in this sketch. Shadows were created with either crosshatching or hatching methods, as seen under the shoe, in the laces, and in the inside of the shoe. Actually crosshatching was a huge part of this drawing. Along the shoe, you can easily see stippling marks where the crosshatching is. The different kinds of pencils helped create bolder areas and dimension. I used gesturing and contouring in the beginning of the drawing. The one big thing I struggled on, but managed to complete in the end was shading and shadowing. I had to be patient, like the crosshatching, yet crosshatching only involves lines in a certain pattern. This drawing is filled with challenges for me, which is the reason why it took so long. I'm definitely happy with this. It really shows its dimension. As stated before all the new things I've learned in this project were what were mentioned in this post. I only wished I was faster.
