I selected the original artwork because I wanted to make something kind of patriotic. It represents that I'm a gamer and proud American. The Clothing and background are gaming stuff, and I draw myself better.

I really liked the simplicity of using an Ink pen for this project. Getting my lightest lights and darkest darks was somewhat hard because since the pen is black, it makes it hard to make it lighter, since one touch and you have a black dot. I used a lot of hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling to make value, especially in the Spetsnaz helmet. If I was to do the project again I'd make the guy less fat. I think my choice of image was appropriate since there was light parts and dark parts, which allowed for a variety of shading.

I used the idea of Impressionism by replacing the bushes/tree in the initial picture with fire or made them out of fire. The entire project was a struggle to be honest, pastels are annoying it work with. I used multiple colors to replace the real ones in the picture so I would have a variety of different colors in the finished product. To be real I hated the process because I had to keep tapping away at it and get pastel all on my clothes. I would probably do a simpler picture if I was to do it again. Also I would spray it at the right angle so I didn’t get water like stains on the picture.

Making the vanishing point and wall lines were a pain in of themselves because two of them are blocked by objects. Working with it to make the objects go to it was easy though. Yes, since my desk and chair are really dark I had to make them as dark as possible. It kind of does, except the desk and chair look kinda flat. If I was to do the project again I'd get lighter objects.

I was successfully able to draw the controllers I'd say decently accurately.
Scaling was hard thing that was annoying to try to fix.
