Weekly Sketches

Value of a room with normal lighting and bright high contrast shadows.

I like the great shadow that was cast at this hour but I wish I were able to capture the density of it better. I also wish I had drawn some of the elements more alike, for example the chair in the far back for both pictures are different slightly in angle.

The negative space of a chair captured through sketching.

I like the intricate detailing of the chairs back shown through this but wished I had picked a chair that did not have a blank white background. I feel it would have been more interesting with some figure-ground relationship shown.

 A sketch of a sliding door handle using colored pencil on black paper.

The picture on the left is when I first went through with Crayola pencils and tried to capture the handle but I feel as though I did not get the depth properly. Then I went back through using Prismacolor pencils and was able to get more depth and make the color show up better on the paper as seen in the right picture. I like the one of the right a lot better but feel I could have capture the depth of the crack of the door better.

 A figure trace of a little boy posing as superman.

I like how it turned out overall but wish I had added more line texture for the creases in the arms.

A sketch of the cross-section of multiple oranges.
I like the the composition on the cutting board but wished I had moved it up on the paper more or off set it some.

A sketch with shading of a corner in my room.
I like the depth of value in the corner by the sink but I wish I had darkened everything so it did not scan so lightly. 

Multiple views of a chair in my room seen from top, bottom, side, front and perspective.
I like the composition of the chairs on the paper but which I had showed more texture.

A perspective and floor plan view of my current dorm room.
I liked how the floor plan and perspective are so close to each other, but I feel like my perspective is off.

A Mind Map based off the first word that I thought of.
I like the color I added into it but I wish I had filled up more of the empty space.
