The graphite on Bristol was inspired by my curiosity and need to experiment. My primary inspiration was to use blending and display contrast with the best of my ability, though I do also feel that I could’ve done a lot better with the contrast along the face. another thing I tried experimenting with was my usage of different pencil types to display more of an exotic piece. Another thing in this piece that could’ve done a lot better is the proportions. Originally, the composition was altered from the photo reference. Altogether, the piece could’ve held up a lot better.
