I chose this piece because it was very interesting to me. I also like to dance and I thought that this piece was very moving to me. I also liked that in this picture the face is not showing that much. I also liked all the different mediums of black in this photo. This process was very interesting to me because I have never had to grid a paper before to draw something that might be why all my other pictures turned out bad. One thing I had trouble with was the left hand. In the picture the hand was messed up and I couldn't figure out how to make it look like she was pointing. I struggled with this a lot. Another thing I struggled with was the hair. I couldn't get it to look like hair. Then Mrs. Ruggles told me to use an eraser to help with the hilights and it turned out to look very beautiful to me. One thing I didn't like about this was that every time I wanted to be done Mrs. Ruggles told me that I needed to work on the hand or the shading more. I am very proud of this piece because I never thought that I could do anything like this. One thing I would have done differently is I would choose to do something with color. Originally I was gong to do this piece with color in the too-too but then I decided that I wanted to do it in black and white because I had already started to shade when I drew this out.
