For this, everyone in the class was given the same picture, a picture of a group of a variety of pumpkins and gords set up in a scene together. The task was to recreate the photo however we would like. Some people zoomed in on a portion of the picture, some people only used part of the picture (me), some people added other elements to the picture that were not even there, such as animals. These were to be done in prismacolor colored pencils, since this was a colored pencil challenge, and it had to be submitted online by December the 16. This was actually my favorite colored pencil piece that i have done so far, just because i think that i really chose the correct color of paper for this project and i really am happy overall with the way that it turned out. The hard part for me was really trying to get the gords right because they are so textural and they have all the little bumps and curves all over them, and they are oddly shaped. IT was difficult for me to really capture the texturing with the colored pencil and i had to spend quite a bit of time on just one tiny gord to be able to get it to look they way that i wanted it to look. The flowers were also tough, it was really hard to try and capture the way that the flowers looked in the actual picture as well. I think i did a pretty goof job learning how to do wood grains to try to make it look more realistic, because doing wood in the past has been really difficult for me so these really helped me to have growth with my prismacolor abilities. Overall, i am very happy with this piece and it was a fun little side project to work on and i really really enjoyed it.
