I use pencil for this art work because I like drawing with pencil instead of pen. Yes i showed contrast in my work by showing the shadows on from the lacrosse pads, lacrosse sticks, also the lacrosse balls of a shadow too. I chose lacrosse pads as my art work for "Whats the Point" because I love to play lacrosse and when I hear point I kept thinking of lacrosse and scoring goals.
