Feedback:
Shading(value scale)
Negative space
Fills the page
Darker
Texture
My intentions for this project were to correctly represent the unique geometric shapes of cameras in the still life. I wanted to show what might not normally be noticed in a still life; the background. I started out drawing the curtain the first day, when we were supposed to be doing line drawings because I had learned a little about Sargent. I then focused on the cameras, and while sketching the corner of a box I experimented with negative space which we had seen in a presentation at the beginning of class. I completed a smaller model of what I planned to do for my final using tracing paper and a printed picture of the still life. Once that was completed I started on my final. Over the course of the drawing, I made it darker and attempted to clearly define the outline of the objects. Throughout the project I learned that I really enjoy using pencil and attempting to make things look realistic. I feel that I was too cautious at times and I wonder if there are any parts where I could've taken a risk. Looking back I wish I had added a pop of color or done another series with just the cameras as a cut out and placed it next to the final drawing. Although I liked my concluding project, I feel as though I didn't explore as far as I could have by using different materials such as ink and pen. The feedback I received from my group was overall positive. They noted my skill in shading and using the value scale as well as negative space. They liked how it filled page and how I was able to show different textures with a pencil. I think that that was my main intention when completing this project, and I agree with their feedback.
