The reflection of their emotions are challenging to show, because they don't have the expressive facial features as people do. The most expressive part of animals are their eyes and that's usually the most challenging. As I've progressed through this year, I've become a lot better at drawing eyes to make them look very realistic. I used to not like colored pencil as a medium. I would only use pen & ink or graphite. But after having a mandatory project in colored pencil, I became hooked and almost all my projects after that were in colored pencil. I learned better techniques to create fur textures, smooth textures, and reflective looks. I plan to continue in the art path to create realistic drawings in order to further express emotions
