I improved my technique by paying
attention to the value of the
shadows. I started off with an
intense pencil stroke and slowly
made it lighter. I made sure to also
be careful with the amount of value I
put so that I don’t make the whole
thing dark. Comparing my rough
sketch of the apple and bottle, to my
final drawing, you can definitely tell I
paid more attention to the detail of
the objects.
We first practiced
observing the still life by
doing a blind drawing
where we weren’t allowed
to look at what we were
drawing. That exercise
helped me look at each
and every detail of the set
up. It also allowed me to
look at my perspective of
the set up and how the
light played a part in the
value of the shadows.
While working on this piece of still life, I learned
different techniques on how to show the true value
of the object and their textures. Something I
would’ve done differently if I did this again, I would
make my outlines less harsh. I also would’ve put
more texture on my apple as well as my seashell. I
feel that this is a strong piece of work because I
was able to capture all the objects in my
perspective view.
