Fruit and Cloth Acrylic Study

          Overall, I am not too happy with how this project turned out. Although it was my first time trying to use the subtractive colors to make shadows, it did not come out all that well. The colors that are supposed to make the shadows do not show up very well. Also, the edges between the areas where I put the original colors and where I did not are very sharp edges, not smooth, gradual light and shade. I could have done a better job on this project, but it was hard to do and make it look good, and I didn't really figure it out.

Acrylic Paint Shoe Drawing

            The biggest challenge I had was getting used to using paint versus charcoal and graphite. I think that I probably could have added a little more light and shade into the painting. I myself kind of like the background, the different colors. Two areas of the shoe that could be improved are the laces and the hole where the foot goes.

How to Draw a Square-Based Pyramid

Step 1: Draw a Square(in perspective)
Step 2: Find the midpoint and draw a vertical line up from that point
Step 3: Connect the corners to the tip of the vertical line
Step 4: Erase and Darken lines accordingly

Light & Shade Studies

I am happy with how both of the drawings came out, more so the top one. I learned a lot about how light and shade works in this project. I look forward to using these techniques in later drawings.

Line Drawing

Gunti Bolts

I am pretty happy with how the drawing turned out. I think the darkened wood grain under the bolts to make it look like a shadow worked well. If I could have done something differently, I would have planned a little more on my test paper.
