For this project we didn't use a specific artist for inspiration. This project required you to use an eraser as a drawing tool. At first I couldn't find an object that I liked. I tried to draw shells at first, then I tried a cup, but those didn't turn out how I wanted it to. I decided to draw a ribbon tool. I had to do a thumbnail sketch. It turned out pretty good. I liked how it turned out, so the next step was a full size sketch. I practiced with the eraser to make sure I had the technique down. Then I drew my shape on a bigger sheet of paper. I used the ebony pencil to do the dark spots on my object first, then I used the eraser to give it a static look. I had to go back over with the ebony pencil and shade the rest. Then I used the eraser again and kept repeating the process. I think the hardest part of this project for me was actually choosing which object to use. After I found my object, the rest went very fast.
