The pencil medium allows us to create different looks based on the type of pencil we are using. The B type is soft which can make the piece darker, while the H is rougher for lighter parts of a drawing. The charcoal medium allows us to smudge different types of charcoals to create a realistic image through highlighting and shading. And the last medium was used on the shoe drawing where we used lines to create an image we were looking at, this is called a pen medium. Some advantages are that the charcoal looks more realistic than the others. The pencil was hard to get the look exact of the glass, while the charcoal was easy to smudge out to get desired highlight and shadowing. A disadvantage of the pen was that it took so long, but it would be my second favorite out of the three mediums, charcoal coming in at number one.

Inspired Artist
The artists who inspired me are designer Olya Glagoleva who did a collaboration with a artist named Lisa Smirnova who is Russian. They design clothes that have been embroidered to look like paint splotches and patterns. The thought they had behind the clothes they have designed is that you're very likely to have paint or other art supplies splattered on you by the time you're done with your piece, so they have now created clothing to make it look like this, but instead using a stitching design that Olya and Lisa call Paint Splotch Embroidery. These artists grabbed my attention when scrolling down the page because their work looks like they just came out of a art class that had finished painting. It looked so natural I was intrigued by what it was.
