The objective of this assignment was to recreate what we saw. The drawing must include things we see directly in the present. Before arriving on good copy paper, I played around with my available objects and composition choices. After all the rough work, I began sketching the contour of the chosen objects and curtains as lightly as possible using an HB pencil. I purposely drew the objects small and created larger curtains. However, this decision turned out to be a mistake. I started to shade in the areas that had any shadows using an HB pencil after finishing the contour lines. As the teacher had stated, I followed step by step. Shading everything using the lightest value and gradually darkening, helped me produce a more realistic and balanced artwork. The 2B pencil was used to give the shadows a darker value after completing the first layer of value. However, during the process, I realized, I drew too many curtains, and the curtains were a lot harder to shade than I expected. My goal was to create a realistic and natural drawing, but the curtains were a mess. Erasing, finding another curtain and drawing it again took up all my time, and before I realized it, I was falling behind. After the curtains, I went straight to the flower. Using a 2B pencil, I darkened the shadows that were shaded by the HB pencil. The pencil was darker than I thought, so I blended the dark spots using my HB pencil. I moved onto the skull after the flower. Being hesitant about which to keep or replace, I ignored the curtains. After the second layer, the objects were turning out amazing. The curtains and the background were chaos. I shaded in the shadows of the curtains using an HB and 2B pencil. Afterward, I went in with the final value and shaded in spots that were meant to be very dark, using a 6B pencil, while blending everything using my 2B and HB pencil once again. Afterward, I went in with the final value and shaded in spots that are supposed to be very dark, using a 6B pencil, while blending everything using my 2B and HB pencil once again.
