My oh my was this a hard piece. This is a prismacolor drawing of me opening the door to my home. This is significant because home is where I can rest and be comfortable. I have also lived in the same house all my life so this reflected a large piece of my identity. I have very minimal experience using prismacolor pencils; this was only my second piece that I completed with these pencils. I learned a lot about how to use prismas properly and I developed my own style by incorporating multiple techniques. I choose a color scheme that had a lot of cool colors but I used red tones to create vibrant highlights. I also did not use black, instead I used a deep blue and blue violet. I really like the way I used colors in the lock and door knob to create a sense of reflection the area around the door. I exaggerated the colors immensely and used many different values. I have both smooth parts of this drawing such as my keychains and the door knob and lock, but I also used rough lines for the door and door frame. If I could change anything, I would continue to add color and smooth my lines. I am overall happy with the end result! I impressed myself!

Wow, I loved this piece, the concept/subject is cool. I never would have thought of doing that. Like we were talking about in class I like the direction in which your art was drawn, which makes is appear to have an unknown direction. I think you did a great job with using a wide variety of colors and yet they feel like they all fit in place. The style of your strokes are interesting, which almost tells the story of you creating the piece. I really liked the piece

Rachel, let me just tell you that this piece is absolutely amazing. All the colors you used really brought the piece together and you really took creativity to the next level. The composition of your piece is very unique in that it gives it an eye catching appeal. The reflection on the door knobs was very successful and looked very realistic. Overall I think you did an awesome job and I cant wait to see what other projects you will create this semester!
