maintaining proportions while pulling from life was a challenge for me when drawing this pepper. in addition, conte crayon was a foreign material to me and i learned that i really enjoyed using it. this project inspired my next piece, which was mixed media.
Working with a medium that's associated with Leonardo daVinci always grounds me in the universality of creating art! Your pepper is accurately rendered and the subtle highlights and drop shadow go a long way in making the viewer feel the illusion of depth.
