![A negative space still life of a tea pot, boxes, and a can with a fabric backdrop](http://ds.guilford.edu/classes/art/104-2019f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/20191114_143047-708x1024.jpg)
For this drawing, I tried to use negative space and contrast to define its lines instead of harder lines, to a degree of success. At first, the canvas was full of charcoal, and slowly erased away to detail the shapes.
I think I could’ve done better on this drawing. While I’ve upped the contrast on the picture, it has some obvious lines, as well as an overall messy look. Some shapes are easily made out, but others are less defined and trickier to analyze. If I redid this, I would likely be more deliberate in what I erase.
