In these two images I attempted to draw the fabric sheet that was hanging up in the room. I learned that around the curves you have to make it darker so it really brings out the fabric. Also, you hear to make sure to blend in the cone because if you don't it looks choppy.

Value Chart with Shapes
In class we had to draw a value chart and then shapes so that we could try out the values. The triangle shape is the best in my opinion.
Ribbon
I used a white prisma colored pencil to create this image. Where the light touches I made sure it was fully white and for the darker spots I left them black. I think I did a good job making the image look realistic.
Final Fabric Drawing
1. Yes, I used a wide range of values. It's evident through the different shades of charcoal I used. As you can see some parts are lighter and then darker than others.
2. My practice studies with values really contributed to the outcome of my final piece. Learning what does and doesn't look right when it comes to shading played a major part. If I hadn't practiced shading in my practice drawings then it wouldn't have came out like this in my opinion.
3. When it comes to the blending and transitions of the fabric it varies. In some sections (the curves) I had to put more pressure on the charcoal pencil I was using. In other parts I had to lighten up so that you could see where the light was hitting.
4. Interpretation of texture is an essential to capturing the look of the object because if you don't pay attention to the light and dark spots then you can't fully create the image you want to. You have to look at every single detail.
5. If I could go back and do something differently I wouldn't have pressed down on my charcoal pencil originally. I had to go back and erase a lot because I realized it was too dark. Next time I will gradually build the values in the picture.

Contour Room
Practice Contour Room:
Final Contour Room: Self Evaluation Questions
1. Did you use a fluid line? Explain how is this evident?
In the beginning I did not use a fluid line because I forgot that that was supposed to be what we were doing but then I started to use it later on.
2. Describe the difference in your contour line drawing to an outline drawing.
With my contour drawing I tried to add depth to the picture. Outline drawings don't have depth to them. It's usually just the outline of the image one is trying to make come to life. Also, with a contour drawing you do not lift your pencil.
3. Explain how your interpretation of line is essential in capturing the look of the room.
When trying to add depth to a drawing, I feel it is important to make the line thicker where you need to. Also, when trying to make the picture look realistic you need to have it at an angel so that it looks like you're actually there. It isn't something easy to do but it all comes with paying attention to detail.
4. What did you learn from completing this drawing? If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome?
From completing this drawing, I learned that everything takes patience and detail. In order to create a picture similar to the what you see in real life you have to look closely into the little things. If I could recreate the piece to enhance the final outcome I would look at the view differently. I would sit at a different angle than the one I did so that I could create more of a in depth type of picture. Also, I would be more patient with certain things so it would come out more realistically.

Backpack Contour
Modified Contour: Hands
With doing this activity, I learned that it's very important to pay attention to detail so that you get the realistic image you are looking for. Rushing will cause you to not catch little details in what you're drawing. I noticed that it takes a couple of tries to actually get comfortable with it.
Blind Contour: Hands
As you can see, I had a rough start. I thought I was drawing in the first blind contour but my pen ran out of ink. It's completely okay though because my teacher is great and let me use her pen!! In the beginning I struggled with the proportion side of things because my eyes were moving too fast when I was looking at my hand. By the fourth photo you can tell I made progress. It's definitely a technique that takes skill to do well in.
