Artist's Comments

"Heed the path that led to me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again.
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir."
-- Led Zeppelin 'Kashmir'

Well, the assignment for AP Studio Art was surreal, and this is what came out. I would really love people's opinion on this, and how they interpret it.

All Comments are welcome, even though I have it set to advanced. I would really appreciate it if somebody could tell me what I need to improve on. Thank you.

This took quite a long time to accomplish. I believe, in estimate, it took me around 40-50 hours in total. And since scanenr beds are to small to fit a paper this size, I had to scan each corner or so,then put it all together in Photoshop. And for some reasons some parts came out darker then others, which didn't mae me happy, but I don't think it is too noticeable. lol
Tools: Graphite pencils ranging from 9b-9h. (I used almost all of them, I can't remember what types I didn't use. lol), Tortillon, stump, 11"x14" Bristol vellum paper, and several different refrence pics.

the shading is really nice & it's very lifelike. the only problem i can see is a knitpick about the scanline towards the bottom that the real life version won't have so it doesn't matter :D nice work
