Comparing the Bike and candy jar drawings

For my last post today I am going to compare my two drawings. Here, I will add the pictures of the drawings I have just finished. I found that working with the graphic pencil was a lot easier than working with a colored pencil. I thought that it was easier to shade than it was to blend colors and work with them. I felt as though my candy jar looked less realistic because I didn't quite know how to utilize the colors to make the jar shine. With the bike however, I felt like I was getting the hang of how to make the metal look like metal. I think I could have made the shape of both drawings a little bit better, but overall I was happy with the way both drawings turned out.
