This week we focused on breaking down the world into shapes and discovering how to draw complex structures from starting with simple shapes. This class being entirely online in zoom was a challenge. I have a terrible internet connection and attention span whilst on my computer. I did my best to stay engaged and attentive during class.
A task I did whilst listening to Kirsten. An exercise in drawing textures. I drew rope, a stone wall, a flower and a bed of dried clay. I really enjoyed this task, it was a helpful insight into sketching and creating different textures. I am more confident in attempting textures in my drawings now, though I would like to bring this skill over to digital platform as that's preferably where I want to be drawing.
A warm up project where I would draw random objects for a short time using a pencil. I drew a USB, cream bottle and a E-Tag for tolls. Just some items I found on my desk at the time as I was home on a Zoom call for this class. I was really surprised with how well the E-Tag turned out, the shading and overall structure was actually kind of spot on.
