Charcoal Still Life 1



What is successful about this piece? What did you do really well? Why?

I believe that I successfully used lines of different value and thickness to represent the objects that I drew. I used thicker, more contrasting lines in areas of great depth and shadow to portray the dimensions that I saw. I used value to create both light and shadow in the piece, especially with the fabric below the objects. I erased in certain areas to show the light that I saw reflecting off of the shining material. I do think that my proportions were a bit off, and I am still working on making objects realistic sizes in relation to each other. However, I think that as a composition, the piece is unified and flows realistically. I also believe that I successfully represented the shadows and lights that I saw while looking at the arrangements of objects.
