This was my favorite assignment - learning how to draw fabric. I already knew some technique but this exercise made me improve drastically. It was something new, I learned how to use incorporate the lighting to make the fabric look realistic and smooth just like the texture. The class also experimented with charcoal as well, but I think I did well with just pencil, and controlling it a lot better. While taking a step back and analyzing my work, I did see that I did develop some skill when it came to fabric drawing,
Sketchbook Shape Drawings:
In this sketchbook assignment, we practiced drawing shapes using different materials, to show depth and realism. Since I did this exercise before, I already know the techniques on making the shapes look 3D, so this was easy. Contour Line Room Drawing: Modified
The class and I were assigned to draw our surroundings of the class room doing a contour line not being allowed to pick up the pen. This assignment was a struggle for me, because it was quite hard getting the details I saw, without getting to sketchy with it. Overall, I'm a little satisfied, but this practice helped a lot. Contour Hand Drawing: Modified
With this sketchbook assignment, the class and I were told to draw a modified (meaning I can look down at my sketchbook while I draw the subject) of our hand. Compared to the other blind contour drawings of my hand, this was a big improvement. Contour Drawing: Modified
Contour drawing describes the interior and exterior linear qualities of a subject. In this assignment, we were to examine a book bag using the flow of the pen to show volume. This drawing is called a "modified" contour drawing, meaning that I was able to look at the subject while drawing on the paper, still keeping it at a limit to one line, not being able to pick the pen up. This was a challenge for me, because I do have trouble 'loosening' my arm and letting the pen flow when I draw. But overall, I really enjoyed this assignment and learned to show volume without shading. |
