Assignment #2 Shading and Texture
For Assignment #2, we'll be working
with both shading and texture. Find a paper bag from a grocery store, a
nicer retail outlet, or a paper lunchbag. Crumple it up, and then
straighten it back out. Lay it flat on the studio surface you used in
the previous assignment - one away from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life. Find a set of reliable lighting- a lamp, daylight, etc-
and begin sketching out the shape from different angles to find the best
composition. Experiment viewing your setup or composition from
different heights, different locations, different sets of lighting, etc.
until you have found the BEST composition setup you can.
Once you have found the best composition for your product, and you have a set of consistant lighting, begin drawing your subject using Carcoal. Use the materials and methods you prefer, whether these include white charcoal and black charcoal, vine charcoal, pencils or compressed charcoal. Use shading to lighten, darken, and blend your materials into a composition with a strong feeling and clear indication of the lighting, and strong variation in lightness and darkness of tone. Don't forget that your bag or bags are NOT floating in space. Include the surroundings in your composition to clearly indicate the composition within its surroundings. (sounds repetitive, but include everything so that the material does not appear flat).
I really enjoyed this one. I don't usually like working with charcoal as I usually just make a huge mess of it, but I really like how this drawing came out.
