My artwork was a rendition of Carolina by Jacob Collins. This was an assignment to further my own personal interest in art, and I wanted to refine my skills. I believe that the shoulder was the best part of my drawing because I worked the hardest on it, and it took the most time. I refined it multiple times until I felt that it looked both anatomically correct, and true to the original artist's work.
