In the final piece i think that overall my game drawing was successful in its entirty. the watercolor compliments the colored pencils and the vanishing point may not be executed great but it's still evident that there is one. watercolor was difficult to work with on the drawing paper, getting the washes light enough so that i could overlap it with highlights, values, and shadows was a challenge but it was overcome. I wasn't able to use black and white so i had to change the game piece colors to brown and yellow but i feel that they compliment the orange of the game board better than the black and white did. A change i would consider if ever allowed to do this project over again is actually giving the drawing a horizon so it doesn't look like it's floating in mid air, and to lay off of the watercolor and use the colored pencils more than i did in this drawing. A difficulty of this project was that getting the perspective and gradation executed well. The vanishing points gave me some trouble because i only have one side of something that isn't present in the picture not a point but all the same i was able to accomplish it without it looking like a hodge podge of something only i could decipher, and the gradation wasn't as smooth as i would have liked it to be. I learned from this project that less is better in the beginning and that although i may be able to do perspective i think that it's not one of my favorite things to do just because it's not the way i generally think most of the time, but that's how you learn what you do and don't like so i'd say that i got a good piece of art and lessons learned out of this project for now so i just need to focus on the next one.
