This is my ribbon drawing in white charcoal pencil and my three value charts. I found shading the highlights very difficult. It was really hard to switch gears and flip the way I was thinking about the drawing. I’m hoping to practice more and get more comfortable with it.

This is my value chart and practice in shading forms. I've always had trouble understanding shading, but the practice we have done and the videos we have watched have really helped me understand it better. This is my final forms drawing. After the practice we have done, I am feeling a little more comfortable with shading. I feel like I have a better understanding instead of just eyeballing it and taking guesses. I'm excited to apply this skill to future projects!
This is my practice and final of the contour line classroom drawings.
1. Did you use a fluid line? Explain how is this evident? I did use a fluid line. I believe this is most evident in details such as the blinds, the wood grain, and the figure’s hair. 2. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with contour line contributed to the success of your piece. The contour line practice studies got me used to the action of drawing in fluid lines. With each piece it got easier to keep my pen on the paper, to slow down, and to think about where my lines were going. It was extremely helpful to learn to start in a small section and work out from there instead of trying to tackle huge shapes right from the start. 3. Describe the difference in your contour line drawing to an outline drawing. A contour line drawing includes details in one fluid line, while an outline drawing is just the general shapes of an object. 4. Explain how your interpretation of line is essential in capturing the look of the room. For the furniture in the room I used very angular lines, while in the figure and the wood grain I used more flowing, looping lines. I think the breaks up the texture in the piece and keeps it interesting to look at while also staying accurate to the part of the room I was drawing. 5. What did you learn from completing this drawing? If you could recreate your piece what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome? I learned a lot about taking my art slowly and focusing on details. This drawing made me really think about where I was going with my lines and what I wanted them to do. If I could do this again, I’d try and be more careful with keeping my lines clean and keeping my perspective steadier. This was my contour line shoe practice and final drawings. I found it really difficult to make confident lines when drawing something with so many small details. It came out a lot sketchier than I meant for it to, and I'm not completely happy with it. This was my contour line bag practice and final. Again, I wish I could've slowed down and made more confident lines. I kept feeling like I had to rush through it and change what I had already put down. I kept losing track of my drawing and feeling like I had to go back over my old lines. If I was doing this again, I'd try and work in much smaller sections instead of trying to get all the large panels done all at once. I'd go much slower and work on the smaller details more carefully.
These are my three blind contour drawings, where I could not look at my paper or pick up my pen. I've never drawn like this so it was a very interesting exercise. I like my first one best. The more we did, the more I found myself overthinking where my pen is on the paper and losing track of my drawing. These were my three modified drawings, where I was allowed to look at my paper but still could not pick up my pen. I think contour line drawings are really relaxing to draw, even if its hard for me to slow down enough to do them well. I tend to rush through my drawings, but these made me take things a lot slower. It felt like my lines had to be very deliberate and careful.
