Fabric Drawings.

I thought today was okay. Not my favorite drawing from perspective, but it wasn't to bad. I tried to really focus on the shading today, and I think I ended up making it a little to dark. I liked last week much better. The fact that it was a more solid design really helped me elaborate.

I thought that today went pretty well. In later drop everything and draw days I've gotten frustrated when I had to draw from general to specific, but now i'm realizing that it helps your art work a lot if you don't try to go straight to specific. I enjoyed the process of starting from the bottom and working my way to the top. I think that one thing I could've done differently today, was to try not to specific around the edges, but once I was told about it I tried to work on that. I thought that my out come was decent and if i had more time it would turn out well.

The Changing Still Life

I actually did not mind this drawing from observation I thought that my end product looked sort of cool.The three main things I had to do to get this still life done were:
1. ALOT of erasing (my arm started to hurt)
2. I had to keep my composure (and not get too aggravated like past drawing from observations)
3. Keep up with what was happening ( could not stay on one part of the drawing for too long or I would have been totally overwhelmed)

Knowing what I know now, one thing that I would do differently is drawn things a little bit smaller, I have trouble with size proportion.

I'm not totally againgst drawing from observation, bur I m definitely not a fan. When it comes to art I tend to try to be a perfectionist, and when I can't draw the objects perfectly, I get pretty frustrated. I felt that once i started realizing what works best (especially when shading) that it made it easier for me. I learned a couple of different concepts of shading.

Talk and Draw

 I enjoyed today's activity, I especially liked being the drawer. I liked trying to interpret what someone else was explaining to me. The most challenging part of the activity for me was being the describer, usually when I'm asked to draw something I can look at through my own eyes and put it on to the paper myself, but today you really had to think about the different shapes, colors, dimensions, and textures. When I'm creating something it usually doesn't  occur to me to think of those things. If i could do this activity again I would try to go a little faster rather than taking so much on time on every little detail, I think I would have gotten a lot more done if I had done that.
