This week I got a start at working with shading. This part of the drawing process has always been difficult for me, and I made sure to work on my technique during this drawing.
First I made a drawing in order to determine the correct composition and proportions. Making this drawing beforehand let me understand the complex shape of the teapot on the right side.
For my final drawing, I started with an initial thumbnail in order to have an easier time with proportions and composition as I drew.
First I worked on my lines exclusively; adding line weight and cleaning up whereever needed. In contrast to what I was doing in previous weeks, I now can say that I understand the importance of working in stages that are clearly divided. After cleaning my lines and checking the perspective, I started shading using a simple technique of following the surface of the objects.
This week has been very informative in terms of shading, and I am looking forward on working on more similar projects later on.
