This first drawing assignment was very interesting. I have always wanted to do a drawing or project like this. However, I found it unexciting as the drawings went on. I chose to have the focus of my drawing be a box of paintbrushes in mugs. At the start, the 15 second drawings were not the best but overall made out the image I was drawing. It was the same outcome with the 30 second drawings. After these I realized I needed to do the background as well so I chose to stay where I was and figure out how to make the box pop with whatever I had behind it in the scene.
The one-minute drawing seemed to be about how I would draw a sketch without being timed. The two to three-minute drawings were a typical sketch time for my drawings. As I went on, I felt I almost got worse, as I was starting to get bored of drawing the same thing over and over. Around the six to seven-minute drawings, I felt like there was nothing more I could do. I was also getting tired of using the willow charcoal because I kept dropping it and there wasn’t the much I knew how to do with it. About the ninth to tenth drawing is when I started using different shading techniques to get a different looking picture. I tried shading everything but the focus, then shading only the focus. I think the two different techniques taught me a bit of how shading can make an image pop and even show depth. In the end I think the later drawings looked better with the shading, but the earlier drawings were better focused on the focal point. It was tricky to keep using my arm instead of just my wrist. Stepping back also played a good role at figuring out where I was at the moment in my drawing and what I needed to add. |
