I have drawn a shamrock to illustrate the fact that I am part Irish and that I have an Irish background. The shamrock is the symbol of the holy trinity and can show how my life has been blessed by God. I used charcoal as I thought that I would be able to achieve a realistic drawing of a shamrock, as charcoal allows you to capture highlights and shadows well. I used Wendy Hollender as inspiration because of her botanical drawings, however, my drawing is slightly different because she uses coloured pencils, yet I have used charcoal. To sum up, I am pleased with the outcome of this shamrock as I recorded shape, tone and scale accurately, whilst also managing to get a precise representation of the original shamrock. However, if I was going to improve it, I would add a tint of green chalk to enhance the realism of the shamrock.
