I Developed My Art Making Skills
This was the first project I actually used prismacolors for and I have to say, they are way better than normal colored pencils. Colored pencils always looked off when I used them, but these feel a lot smoother. I just like how this piece looks as a whole. I also like what I did with the background and I feel like it looks better than just a solid black background (plus, that would have been torture for me and my colored pencil).
I Solve Problems
While I was drawing this, I realize that I didn't make the grapes big enough and I was to far to erase everything. So I just had to make more grapes and more branches and I had to fill up the space somehow. I feel like I sort of filled it with the background, but I probably could have added extra branches or something.
I Reflect
Before starting the final piece, I did think about if I should do something different. After some thought, I realized I wasn't going to get a better idea (or another idea in general). Then I tested out which colors I should use, mainly for the branches. Eventually, I stuck with brown and green. Then I tried out the colors on different color paper. Dark brown didn't look good, not much showed up on black and white was too bland. The colors showed up the best on the tan, so I picked that.
