My Chess Piece

In my chess piece, I used shading on the side of my pencils to create a softer tone than using the tip of my pencil for harder lines. In some places, it was difficult to layer to achieve darker tones, so those were areas of fault. I tried to nail the proportions almost perfectly because without the proportions, the finished work lacks an important trait. The background was slightly dodgy mostly because of the "halos" that were caused next to certain shapes and lines, but I tried to fix those as soon as they were detected. The thing that made the knight stand out was the light and dark contrast on the chess piece itself; when you squint your eyes at it, the light parts are seen more visibly than the really dark parts.
