I regret working on newsprint as It’s hard to get dark values on it. It’s pretty difficult to capture all the elements into a single composition, but I tried to challenge myself. I also came in late because the LRT broke down so I wasn’t in a particularly good mood when I started drawing but I got more into it… Read more →
I didn’t have enough time to finish it but here is the work I’ve done. These are some studies I did after getting feedback from Jesse. It’s probably not enough (especially for the hands) But here’s my progress. Read more →
Reflections: The tape dispenser was extremely hard to draw. Especially the curved part as there is no defined edge. Drawing in the details of the object (prints/barcodes) would add more interest to the piece. I could also have drawn in more of the background instead of doing so in a faint mark. Read more →
20 mins for each drawing It’s week 10 and we revisited still life today to see how much we’ve progressed from week 1. I think I did made some visible improvement and I’m quite glad! However, I still can’t get my drawings to look just right. I have to pay more attention to how I draw curvilinear forms with lines.… Read more →
Combine all the skills we’ve been taught throughout the weeks to create a composition using charcoal. Why did you choose to draw what you did? I was walking around my home to look for areas to draw, then I realised how I’ve never paid much attention to my family’s dining table before even though it’s the one area that changes… Read more →
Top 10: 1: 9- I like this composition for its balance between the FG, MG and BG. The chair and cloth in the MG are also visible, but not fighting for attention with the focal points. I like how the ribbon on the box juts out of the silhouette, adding visual interest. Same goes to the flap on the tissue… Read more →
1. This is my favourite composition as there is balance between the foreground, midground and background. The elements on the chair are also clearly visible from an engaging top-down angle, where we can see details on both the top of the tissue roll and box. The small flap on the tissue roll also creates an additional shape outside of its… Read more →
HOMEWORK_1 Drawing still life without using lines, but with tones. 10-tone gradation using black and white charcoal (on the left) Materials: Newsprint paper and charcoal I had a lot of fun doing this!! I’ve never tried this method of rendering before and I enjoyed the process a lot. It trained me to see shapes in light and shadow and… Read more →
