(You can add more objects and details, but the above items are a must!)

Your drawing should be done:
  • with #2 pencils, then shaded for a 3-D effect and space.
    Shading techniques are very important. Use different shading techniques for different objects.  Be NEAT. Craftsmanship is important.

If you completed the extra credit, be sure to compare it to the first one you did in August.  On the back of the second drawing, explain how your second drawing is different from your first.  How has your drawing style changed?  What did you do differently?  Did it improve?  How do you feel about any improvement you might see?
