i made sure to put these in the order we were assigned to do them but if yr ever curious abt one particular piece, feel free to send an ask!

Perspective

This was our very first assignment! We learned abt 1, 2, and 3 point perspectives during class and were assigned to take or choose a photo in one of these perspectives, pick a minimum of 3 things and then draw boxes in the proper perspective in place of the chosen objects !! i ended up choosing my mess of a workspace to do for this one !!

Imaginary Space

This one was another perspective focused drawing but we were assigned to choose a perspective and then draw a variety of shapes of our choosing to create a space we could theoretically have a difficult time walking through. I actually had an idea of make it look like claws were coming out but simplified it cause the original concept was not working too well!

Rendered Objects

This is where we started learning about shading! We were assigned to pick 3 different shapes and simply render them with a medium of our choosing! Since I was doing a lot of graphite work, I decided to use a blue prismacolor colored pencil for this and really like how it came out!!

Grid Method

During this time, we actually began working on our first still life but next to that, we learned about the grid method which then became our next homework assignment! We had to choose and take a picture of an object ( preferably something small ) and then use the grid method to scale it and draw it onto our big 18x24 drawing paper !! I ended up on simple scissors that I have because I actually did this last minute and felt horrible but my teacher still really liked it !!

Overlapping Objects

This one was very interesting! So originally this assignment was supposed to be two different ones assigned at different times but because we missed a day of class, my teacher gave us the liberty of choosing either one or if we wanted to, combine them which is what I ended up doing. The original two assignments were to do a personal still life on toned paper using charcoal and white chalk or pick an item and draw it in different angles and sizes to make it look like objects floating in space! I really wanted to do the overlapping object one but i wanted to try out the toned paper too so that's what I did and my teacher really loved this one!! ( also it was absolutely a mess to work with lol )

Still Life

This was my very first ever still life I actually did and I'm so happy abt it !! This was an in class assignment that we worked on for about 3 weeks and were allowed to finish at home on the last day and turn it in as our next assignment ! I am so so happy with how it came out and i'm very proud of myself for going out of my comfort zone with this !! Realism is definitely not my style but poking at it in this assignment definitely made me feel a bit more comfortable with it and maybe one day ill do another still life to keep practicing !!
