Plans & drafts of my final submission
The piece that I created went through several evolutionary changes, as evidenced below.
Despite my original plan of 'simple to complex', the final piece looked too complex & cluttered, and so I cut back on some of the more intricate design elements.
Not being too experienced with some of the mediums I was working with (as in finding that the budget-quality pencils and pastels I was using didn't like the paper), I ended up with holes in my piece, and decided it would be wiser to start afresh.
All in all though, I am very pleased with my first effort, (even more so to just finish something!) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Can't wait to try something else now! :-)
(Sorry about the darkness of some of the images. The sketches were HB and 2B pencil which didn't show up very well.
The photos were also mostly taken at night, and I'm not great with photographic flash lighting.)
