Final Fabric

1. Did you use a wide range of values? Explain how this is evident.
Yes. It is evident in my piece that I used a wide range of values. I tried to blend really well to create the look and folds of the fabric. The white colored pencil is the light parts of it and I also used black pencil to darken it.

2. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with value contributed to your piece.
Practicing the fabric piece really helped because I was able to find out what type of medium I liked the best and how to actually draw fabric. I think I made a lot of progress since my first time drawing fabric.

3. Describe the blending and transitions in your fabric (discuss your use of pressure with pencil/colored pencil/charcoal pencil and other techniques to achieve this.)
I blended from white to black through prismacolor colored pencils and I used pressure without blending to create the light/dark contrast.

4. Explain how your interpretation of texture is essential in capturing the look of the object.
Texture is very important when drawing because it makes the piece 3D and gives people the opportunity to see what the object would really look like.

5. If you could recreate your pieces what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome?
If I could recreate it, I would probably try using different colored color pencils or use charcoal, just to get more practice with different types of drawing.

Shading

We have begun learning how to shade. These are some shape drawings I have done with pencil or charcoal:

We also drew ribbons:

Fabric

We have started drawing fabric and these are my practice ones. The first picture is of the one with white colored pencil/white charcoal and pencil on a colored sheet of paper. The second picture has two: the top one just pencil and the second one black charcoal.
I decided for my final to do the white charcoal because I think it looks the best and I am the best at it. My pencil one isn't very good because it was my first and I was still figuring out how to draw fabric. The charcoal could have been blended more. But I really like the white charcoal/pencil.

Contour Room

1.Did you use a fluid line? Explain how this is evident.
Yes, I used a fluid line. This is evident because the lines all connect and it is not sketchy.

2. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with contour line contributed to the success of your piece.
I did a practice study of the same area in the room that I drew. I got to see what I didn't like the first time I drew and I tried to fix it the second time.

3.Describe the difference in your contour line drawing to an outline drawing.
An outline would have not had any details. As I am drawing in contour lines, I get all the details of one area before I move onto the next.

4.Explain how your interpretation of line is essential in capturing the look of the room.
My interpretation of line is essential because I need to understand how to do contour lines but also which lines are important to draw in the room in order to capture the look of the room.

5.What did you learn from completing this drawing? If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome?
If I could recreate this drawing, I would definitely try to figure out the perspective thing a little better because I have forgotten how to do that somewhat. I also could have paid more attention to detail. I think I was just overwhelmed with all of it- I need more patience.
