I chose to base my final piece for the viewpoint project on one of the sketches I did for homework looking at foreshortening. I liked how the foot almost became the dominant feature in the piece as it is in the foreground of the composition. The figures clothes and the shadows within them is one of the first things I focused on. I also wanted to add colour especially since her surroundings provided a good opportunity to do so, so I decided to use watercolour which I thought would allow me to add my own style to the piece. I chose not to add colour to the figures clothes and blanket as I liked how the graphite pencils worked to illustrate the different shadows and textures of the materials.
