candy still life

This is a drawing of three pieces of candy: a kit kat, a tootsie roll, and a whooper. The materials I used were ink and charcoal. I did cross hatching for the shadows of the rappers and charcoal for the letters and shading. These are my three favorite chocolate candies and I positioned them so that every edge of the paper was touched by at least one candy. In this piece I tried to used a full range of value and used a lot of contrast to make different shades stand out. I used sharp focus through making lines darker than others and erasing other areas. Sometimes I accidently smeared the ink for my shadows, but I just went with it so some of my things changed based on that.
