Artist Statement Q2

For my quarter two project we had to create a still life drawing, we would pick one or more objects then draw them from different angles and viewpoints. I choose to do a banana because bananas are one of my favorite fruits to eat, it all seemed simpler and easier to draw while being nicely detailed. I first picked the banana i was going to draw, part of my first step in my process was sketching it out and then drawing it. I did that then I had to draw it from another angle, and as my final step I drew it at another different angle sitting on my hat. I had no real artistic inspiration from any artist only from the fact that I want to draw a deeply detailed banana. I used different pencils for shading and lining, when it came to thinness and darkness in lines, and dark areas.
