shape and form 2

For this drawing I used a graphite pencil to draw a group of objects arranged on a table, it took me about 20 minutes to draw. The lines on these objects are there to give them perspective and to add depth to the image, making them more three dimensional. The lines help show an implied line making it easy to follow them. On this image I didn’t draw the table or anything the objects were stood on as I wanted the focus to only be on the objects and nothing else. As a result curtain areas look a bit strange as you can’t see the full object. The direction of the lines is important as they helped me know which direction to shade in and it makes the shadows look more realistic, the shadows also help with the implied line making the eye follow the direction I shaded.  I left the area around them whit with no outside shading as I wanted the shading on the objects to be the most prominent thing and it would have been too difficult to use the same line technique for shadows on the floor. I used a putty rubber to get light areas on the edges of the objects and to add reflections.
