Description Done for my studio Drawing 1 class at RMCAD.

Had to design a bug from sketch to final render. Took a little longer on mine once I realized what the size parameters had to be. This is actually 11.5"x14" (down from the original 14"x17") because I have yet to draw the other two elements of this piece. The nice thing about working big though is how much easier it is to get that finer detail.

I like it over all, I just think i could have done a few things differently ie: getting rid of the spiny arms and maybe working out the motion of the tentacles. But i'm happy as-is either way.

Materials:
7B-3B
Kneaded eraser
Tuff-Stuff eraser
Blending stick
Paper towels
0.3 Mechanical Drafting Pencil

20-25 hours

::EDIT::
I'll make sure to upload some details shots later tonight

Blending stick and paper towels actually. Just lightly layer your graphite and smooth out after each layer. Takes time but it's worth it

Thanks Yeh, really well actually. It's fun getting to speak with the professor on a personal basis and throwing ideas back and forth.

How about yourself???
