The first thing that I did for this artwork was to look for pictures by him which were difficult because the pictures that he takes all look so beautiful and has such contrast that it was hard just to pick one. My artwork is a lake somewhere in Turkey, the picture that I picked shows the lake looking gloomy while giving a calm sort of vibe. In the drawing there is a lake with some trees it looks like it may be autumn or the end or beginning of winter as the trees have no leaves by the trees there is a boat tied or anchored to one of the trees it looks like someone was over there and at the bottom of the boat is a flowering that is floating in the left of all the trees. The lake itself looks like it's deep enough to reach probably your chest

So I started to sketch out the trees and most of the branches that are supposed to be the main thing in the drawing after that I started to put the boat but after that I started to rethink since it didn't know where to put the flower at the ends or the middle I decided to put it in the left end since there barely any light is hitting it since it's supposed to look closer. When I was done sketching I was having trouble how to recreate the water since in some areas the ripples look circular while in other parts it looked like straight lines so I decided to mix it at first I used a blending stump that already had shading to shade it but for some reason it wasn't noticeable so I chose to get a 2B and a 4H pencil to try and some of the parts of the water look foggy while other parts looked a little darker but not dark enough. The drawing is supposed to look gloomy, so I used a paintbrush to make the shading look as gloomy as possible especially on the tree branches because that where it is supposed to look the gloomiest and the sky. The flower at the left end was also shaded with a paintbrush but also with blending stump since it had to look gloomy but also dark at the bottom since it is floating. I feel like the medium did, in fact, work with the subject in some parts
