I think it is clear of what the objects in my drawing are and where they are in the space. My highlights are well blended and do not feel out of place.
I do believe that my shadows are realistic. I set my reference picture to a black and white filter to try and get as close as possible. I used a 4HB pencil for my darkest values and a white charcoal pencil for my brightest highlights.
I think my highlights and shadows stay consistent to a source of lighting coming from the upper left of the picture.
The compositional sketches where extremely important. They made it much easier to decide what exactly I would be drawing, instead of jumping in and realizing there was a better composition I could’ve done. I got to experiment with multiple angles and get an idea of what they’d look like before committing to one.
I think my use of highlights turned out very successful. I’m especially happy with how the metal studs on the bag and shoes turned out. I also think my range of values works well with the drawing.
I think for the most part my proportions and perspective are correct. I think it starts to feel a little bit wonky toward the top left of the piece with the second shoe, but overall is accurate to the subject.
I think this composition was the most pleasing out of all of my compositions that I originally considered for this piece.
I did end up having to cut my drawing because I knew I would not have enough time to add the pinwheel. I think I could work on giving myself enough time on parts of a drawing that I know will be more difficult rather than leaving those parts to do last.
I’ve learned a lot about shading and highlight while doing this project. I got to experiment with using things like white charcoal and 4HB pencils. This project also made me focus on working in very small areas and pay attention to small details instead of trying to get through the piece as quickly as possible.
