Pretty self explainitory.  My art teacher adored this one, for apparently it is rare that a student completes a work of contrast with tones as opposed to definit lines, and it changed his mind about letting students use mechanical pencils in art class.  For some reason he doesn't like them... but now he's a little more open ^_^

This started as a very rough sketch and escalated to this.  I'm quite proudof this one.  ^_^

Mechanical pencil.

This is really great! I love the 'fuzziness' - the fact that there are no hard lines, which makes it spooky and atmospheric. I'm glad you managed to change your teacher's mind, too.

Awesome! It looks like an old photograph, like from the early 1900's. Keep it up!!

23 Haley Oatway replies: "Thank you! It was kinda funny, I couldn't get it to scan just right when i was uploading it, so I just left it and it almost looks like it's behind glass like this... kind of a cool effect created purely by fluke. Thanks for commenting!"
