Favorite part of this artwork is being creative with the letters, least favorite is that I couldnt add more colors! I would add more letters and numbers if I were to create this art again. I realised i can do art with numbers and letters which I would have never done. Suprised me that I had the letters of my name spelt in the artwork. First I wrote a big letter R and worked with other numbers and letters giving it a 3D shape. It is one of my favorite artwork.
