Pure Contour

Pure Contour:

• The point of drawing these two pieces of art work were to focus on making the lines clean and not sketchy and hairy. At first I started with a 4H graphite pencil so I could sketch the drawing lightly. Then once I got the shapes and picture I wanted, I went over with a B pencil to darken the lines. After, I erased all of the hairy lines.
• With the shoe drawings, you really had to focus on shapes and perspective. While viewing the shoes at different angles you had to draw what you were seeing from the specific angle, not what you knew was there but could only be seen from different views. Techniques I used was breaking my picture down in parts instead of trying to draw everything at once.
• In my shoe picture there were a lot of smudges and lines that made the piece look unclean so I traced it onto a separate piece of paper so i could make the picture look more pure.
• If I were to change or revise these pictures I would (in shoe drawing) have drawn the lines slower so they weren't curvy when they weren't supposed to be and (in hand drawing) make sure the drawing looks proportional before darkening the lines completely because that cause all of marks in the background.
