Drawing and Observation

In drawing and observation we looked at different ways of drawing and looking at objects, such as using our left hands, drawing with a continuous line and with our eyes closed. The final objective was to create a piece of work including an object rotated through 180 degrees.

 For my object I had a figurine, although for my final piece I thought it was too complicated and removed the chair from the object, opting to just draw that instead.

The Figurine - 'Ciel Phantomhive' Nendoroid from 'Kuroshitsuji'

I worked mostly in pencil throughout this project as well as using charcoal and graphite to experiment with. The brief reminded me of a piece drawn by Davy of Every Day a Drawing ( http://everydayadrawing.com ), a blog which I follow, where he drew a fork from different angles.

I love this piece for it's simplicity and sketchy quality. The roughness only adds and does not detract from the piece and I hoped to carry this look through in my experimentation sheet. However in my own final piece I wished for the items to flow together, as if it were a sequence of the chair falling, I also felt this would work best compositionally.

Evaluation: 

This area was also one of my favourites, despite the focus on drawing from life and also the different methods of drawing, such as using your opposite hand and using scribbles which I am not particularly fond of. I feel like I had a strong outcome with good flow and composition, which is what I was aiming for. I am pleased with the object that I chose to use for this too, although it is slightly misplaced with the rest of my portfolio it is fairly strong as a stand alone piece, and even the experimental sheet felt strong to me. I feel like I could show my skill with pencil and shading.
