Northern Lights

My goal was to use light and dark to help capture the beauty of the northern lights over rocky mountains. I arrived at this idea when I saw a couple of pictures and I liked the use of light and dark in the portraits so I wanted to make something like what I saw in the pictures.I used the pencils and erasers to create different shades, color different objects and create streaks in the sky. From this experience the different powers of a simple pencil and how much pencils and erasers mean to a picture or portrait.
