The fist piece I noticed on the wall of projects was the one i like the most. The piece is swirls and lines in all directions. The piece has great line variation, from very wide to extremely small. The lines draw your eyes around the piece very well with a great movement. The craftsmanship was nearly perfect. The piece's edges were very sharp and the corners were not bent at all. The paper wasn't damaged and showed few visible eraser marks. The only thing that was a little issue was that the black paint seemed to be different consistencies, yet it was only visible if examined very closely. Overall i think it was the most successful piece, with great composition, line variation, movement, and good craftsmanship.

The piece that i think needed the most improvement was the piece with chaotic lines across the page with a few straight lines next to and intersecting it on either end. The piece has pretty good composition but it needs work. The lines on the left side of the piece seem somewhat separate from the rest of the piece; however, the lines on the other side of the piece seem to be lost amongst the chaotic swarm of lines which gives the piece the feeling of being off balance. The craftsmanship also took away from the piece. In parts, it appears as though the marker he was using was starting to die because some of the lines are light and not very neat. There were also a few dents in the piece that were somewhat noticeable and took away from the piece. Overall, the piece needs a little work, going over some lines could help as well as making the straight lines across the right side of the piece stand out a little more from the chaotic lines.

Looking back on my piece I notice some things that could have been done differently. Although the perspectives are accurate and it shows some depth, certain things definitely could have been changed. I definitely realize now that i needed more line variation as well as better craftsmanship. The piece shows some eraser marks and a few smudges that could have been better erased. Also, the edges of the piece are a little damaged, especially the corners. Using better line variation could have helped to show depth, giving the piece a more three dimensional look.
