During my first session in the studio, I received feedback on my first drawings. Acting on that feedback I produced multiple new drawings, the best of which is detailed below. My biggest problems from the start were with my lines being messy, lack of a thumbnail
and an over reliance on shading to make my drawing look good.
In preparation to the drawing, I sketched out different still life compositions using the techniques described. Out of these, I struggled the most with the blind drawing, although I understand why it is important. The exercise made me look at my subject more than my paper in general which has been a great help.
After arranging a still life, I first made a thumbnail to properly format my drawing.
I also left extra space around the piece in order to give it breathing room.
I refined my lines by first using ghosting to get a proper and clean result.
I also started working on my line weight in this stage.
After working on the line weight and cleaning up, I added some controur lines
to the forms in order to define them a little better.
This week was a good opportunity to revisit some fundamentals for me, and I also learned the importance of taking proper photos of my work.
