Throughout all my years at Maggie Walker Art 3 has been the hardest. Its heavy on Art history, which I did learn a lot about but its not my favorite.

I've seen the greatest improvement in my overall expression of ideas, I'll just go with an idea rather than

I started off with a smaller piece just figuring out the basics which I didn't really understand until I finished it. After I started the bigger piece I followed all the guidelines coach hall said and its been coming out nicely. The biggest challenge for me is not having my focal point right in the middle.

Here I copied Goya's drawing An Heroic Feat! With Dead Men! (Grande Hazaña! Con Muertos!) 1810-1815 (printed 1863). It took me awhile initially to get the contrast right with the pen and ink while still using Goya's mark. The most challenging part for me was getting the way of his marks correct he uses angles that I'm not really used to going more up rather than like a normal 45 degree hatch mark. I also noticed while doing this artist copy drawing that when he has something
