Art Elective Project Reflection

For my project I wanted to draw something from my past. I chose to draw a dancer because it was something that I really enjoyed doing as a kid. I used color because I thought it looked nice, and I wanted to make use of the negative space so I drew a ribbon. For this piece, I just wanted to have fun with it. The end result was not exactly what I was going for, but I do like it a lot.
