Finally, one of my favorite and most skilled mediums, pencil. This project's base was to use a drawing medium and I felt that using pencil would be my best option. Although my eye for detail is very decisive, it is also time-consuming. The subject matter had to be mechanical and I chose to turn a dog into a bunch of car parts that fit in an appropriate manner. I have had a lot of experience with pencils because it is the base medium for almost all traditional style art pieces. I've also had trained experience in "Drawing" class as well. I know how to make different shades blend with one pencil, but it is nice to have a variety of pencils too. I used HB for most of this piece, and 2B, 4B for the darker areas. I love working in pencil because the margin for error is little due to it's erasable properties. I also use a kneaded eraser to touch up some of the hard edges and create distinctive reflections of light on many of the metal objects. I can't wait to finish this project and see how this turned out. I took a different approach on mechanical ideals this time because most of the machines I saw online were robot based and not just hunks of metal clunked together. ----continue when finished----
