== The Project ==
The assignment for this project was to use pen and ink to create a landscape or a surreal drawing. I chose a landscape for my drawing.
== My Process ==
Before I started on this art project I had to sketch out different ideas in my sketchbook.
Then I had to pick one idea I liked and drew it more detailed and how I would want it to look in my final drawing.
The steps in making this work of art that were most important to me were practicing shading in my sketchbook. Because if you mess up the shading (value) you practically ruined the whole drawing.
One part of the process that was a little difficult for me was nothing was a little difficult. I just thought it was annoying how tedious and time consuming cross hatching can be.
== The Theme ==
My drawing represents a lake with trees and in the background is a mountain. My favorite vacation like ever was going to a lake cottage in Wisconsin. (I know there aren’t any mountains in Wisconsin, I just added them to make the drawing more interesting) I wanted to portray this vacation in my drawing.
= Conclusion ==
I really enjoyed this project. At first I was skeptical because pen and ink weren't really my strong suit, but after putting in HOURS of shading, I really like how it turned out.
I want to improve on just my overall pen and ink skills. I would like to be able to practice with it more so if I make any future drawings with that medium, the drawing will be even better.
