For my 7th piece I decided to draw biscuit. Biscuit is a friendly smart pet pig that Tania cares for. In this picture biscuit is outside on the deck looking into the house through a glass screen door. When I created this piece I was very excited about it because its unconventional to have a pet pig and I liked the composition at the time. In retrospect there were better compositions of Biscuit but I settled on this one because I was drawn toward all the items within the background. I liked how layered the picture appeared. I'm happy with my choice to use a white colored pencil instead of a white gel pen for the hairs because, his hairs are softer and less defined unless you are very close. I was able to create texture and softness with just a white colored pencil. This piece has showed me how much better I've gotten at creating textures on a flat surface and creating dimension. I think the values within his snout made the biggest difference in the various layers within the picture. It appeared closer to me, which it should be. I just remember early on in my art career I would struggle with creating dimension using values and its cool to see my growth in something like this even if it is as small as whiskers and a snout.
