Final Still Life Drawing

Essential Question: What are the necessary skills to create a convincing still life drawing?

Purpose:

• To create a still-life drawing that demonstrates understanding of angles & ellipses in perspective, along with using a chosen and conscious mark-making technique to describe form;

• To understand value by creating a good range of values between black & white to help make the objects appear 3D;

• To demonstrate quality craftsmanship and good composition skills in a drawing.

My technique i used was hatching and this kind of marking was something I liked more than the other techniques because this one seemed more simpler because of the values you can do, and certain shadings you can do are just are lot easier for me because the other techniques were a challenge to me and i had a hard time getting the values correct compared to the hatching which is the one that i find most easiest.

I notice that my drawing is very different from the real one I did and that's good because I've improved with my drawing skills and its taught me alot about values especially when to correctly do it when it needs to be added in the first one i did it looks like a outline of the shapes but the final one i did it came out more realistic compared to the practice drawing my lines were neater my shapes were cleaner my shading improved a lot which i'm very proud of because the shading looks the best on the still like drawing that i made.

Being able to make your shapes the correct way and the shading needs to be on point to create a convincing still life drawing and also the value because the value is the most important part of the still life because the way you do it creates a perfect imagine of what u want or creating but also if you had a steady hand then that would also help ur techniques which also help a lot of ur drawings when ur doing a certain technique.
