This project was very hard for me. I struggled with liquid media because I have never done it before and made several mistakes while doing it .  I tested the paint with the brushes on several sheets of paper  until I knew what the ink would look like. The critique helped me realize that less is more and thow to work with wet media. I do not like the way dots look together on a page with any other mark making. It looks best from me when it it by itself. Due to time I did not get much feedback from my classmates on what I could do better. Looking at some of my classmates projects helped me see how I should have done my original assignment. Seeing the basic lines and movement/ brush strokes helped me figure out how I want this one to look. I went outside my comfort zone by mixing different mark makings and in the end I did not like it. For this project I left the background white so it is easy for others to differentiate between the objects and the background. I added shadows to my drawing. I was originally was going to do it with charcoal because it is fun and easy to smear. Last second, I decided to push myself and use sharpie. I was worried about how it would fade and look at the end. The more I played around with it the more it started to look right. I moved the lighting because it seemed off in comparison to the real setting.
