Pure Contour

The main idea that guided all three of my art pieces were, keeping nice precise clean lines. I wanted to show depth and value just by having dark lines, or light lines. I wanted my art to look as realistic as I could. I think my best one is the aerial view of a shoe. I think this one is the most realistic out of all of them because it looks drawn to scale, and has all the details.

The materials and the steps I used for all of these were the exact same. I sketched out my line using a 2h pencil, then once I was happy with my sketch I went over it with a 2b pencil, and I erased all my sketchy lines. And for the darker parts of the shoe, I went over with a 4b pencil, to really show the darker lines.

The process that I went through to make these was switching from looking at what I was drawing to looking at the paper. I analyzing my shoe or hand the whole way through. I did a ton of revision as well. I erased so many lines and revised my work many times until I got to somewhere that looked semi-realistic. Looking at my work now I am pretty okay with how it turned out.
