Artist Statement (what Rongxi2 said about their artwork)
Some specific details on this blind contour drawing are all the lines, outlines, and how the shoelaces were tied. I also put the bumpiness of the bottom part of the shoe and not a flat one. I used colored pencils, a normal pencil, and my finger to blend. The techniques I used were hatching, blending cross-hatching, stippling, and contour-hatching. The most challenging part was always trying to use the shading techniques instead of just shading the way I made up. Something that surprised me was how good it actually looked at the end.
