The hardest part of the bicycle drawing was finding the perfect angle of the bike to draw. Once i found it, I became more motivated to draw and try my hardest. I feel as though this year my drawing and shading with graphite pencils really improved. The values of my drawing stands out a lot more and you can really get an idea of how realistic the drawing appears. There are many techniques to shading with graphite pencils including pressure, layering, and not coloring specific spots at all for an illusion of the reflection of light. I was able to use them all to creat a realistic life-like version of the bicycle. Although it took me a lot of time and effort,  I enjoyed every minute of it.
