| this artwork is bad because. it is long and fat and. and i could the make it better but not.written by Nowa2 | | My favorite thing about my flower is the butterfly.It was hard to copy the butterfly. I would change the flower because it could take up more of the page. I learned how to shade with pencil. It surprises me how much it looks like the butterfly is popping out.written by Britney589 | | My favorite part was drawing my artwork and my least favorite part was coloring my artwork.The most challenging part was rubbing my artwork to make it rub off on the other side.If I had to do this all over again I would take my time because I rushed through my project.I learned how to make my artwork rub off onto the other side. The thing that surprised me was the out come of my artwork.written by Riley3898 |
