Designs and Space

The subject of these drawings are a hand a triceratops and leaves. I used pencils, on some of the drawings I used darker, or lighter pencils to create more contrast. On the leaf drawing I used colored pencils and a sharpie. I chose to draw a triceratops because I thought it would create an interesting negative space. I used contrast in the leaf drawing because the white next to the bright colors creates contrast. I changed my drawings a lot. For the leaf drawing, I was going to draw the colors as circles but then I decided to fill the space in between the leaves, and then go straight down to make the colors look like Crayons. One thing that bothers me in my drawing of the hand is that I did not fill in the negative space very well, I could have spent more time burnishing with the pencil to fill in the negative space better.
