Negative Space Still Life

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.

Still lives in my room

This is a charcoal still life of items in my dorm room. I stacked two boxes on top of each other and put a gatorade bottle on top of them. Then had to quaker oatmeal containers and put them on each end of the boxes. One on the left and other on the right. Both were in the behind the boxes too. — I was sitting in my room and wanted to do a still life. I collected some items up and drew them.

This is anther charcoal drawing. I went int my girlfriend's dorm and took its she had on her dresser and drew them. I took lotion, air freshener, apple sauce, peroxide, and her perfumes. I made a still life drawing from these items. — I went into my girlfriends room and took some of the things from her dresser and drew the items. You have air freshener, lotion, applesauce, perfumes, and peroxide bottle.

Still life boot

This drawing was a still life that I drew during class. It is a drawing with charcoal and keeps proportion in mind as I made sure the sizes of each object were on point with one another. Basic shapes were used quite a bit especially on the bottles and the boot.

Hands on my Feet

This artwork is not a still life but rather pictures of hands and feet most of which mine that I have drawn. I covered the details in my hands ranging from any cuts, scars or knuckles all the way to simple wrinkles and even fingerprints in some cases. In each drawing on a hand or foot I made sure they are always in different positions when drawn so it doesn’t get repetitive.

Vine Charcoal Drawing

This is a sketch of someone I drew from my Drawing I class. Vine charcoal is the main medium; A circle was the main basic for the skull and an oval for the the flesh of the face.

Sketching this way was particularly difficult in that I usually don’t draw base shapes when starting a new piece.
