Week:6 Still Life-Natural and Man-made Forms




I produced this sketch in 35 minutes after two five-minute planning sessions. I used mainly charcoal with hard pencil for the shadow. The position I was sitting in was of a high quality because I had a good vision of all the small subjects and their relationship to each other. Due to this position, I had high expectations for my achievement.
 The value in this sketch are the small details, some of which I noticed after the planning stages. The objects were all related; you can see the visual effect created by my attention to particular flowers which were higher than others casting shadows from their particular positions. I also concentrated on the background, which consists of Kim, our classmate in computer animation and special effects, drawing. The sketch has an inherent balance: between the top and the bottom, between the textured and the smooth, and between the shiny and the dull. The directional light sits behind the flowers focusing on the balance between the table and the vase.
