1. A technique that I had tried to incorporate within my composition was burnishing and the use of line art. These were skills that I had struggled with as I was new to them. I had struggled in making the lines and actions seem more definite. 2. I had drawn inspiration from my own peers and my previous piece. Within my class many students have produced amazing piece with color pencil and I wanted to try this medium as well. Additionally, I wanted to reincorporate this piece within my exhibition but in a different manner. 3. Throughout my creation process, I had first drawn my previous copy. However, I had added color and more shapes in order to give this composition a strong pop factor. 4. If I had the opportunity to do this piece again I would add more aspects within the negative space in order to highlight my message of negativity and oblivion more. 5. This piece links to my theme of identity in that it explores the cultivation of one's thoughts and likings whilst the changes that they may obvious to around them.
