Sketches

Value Study Using Line: This sketch is of the same room, one normal and one that is cast in shadow. Using high contrast methods, the light coming in through the window is shown using varying lineweights.

Chair Negative Space: This sketch is of a chair and is based around drawing the negative space around the chair, instead of the chair itself. It also used varying shades of pencil and line techniques.

Black Paper: This sketch was done on black paper using crayons and colored pencils. It shows hardware such as a doorknob and lock. It uses the technique of crosshatching to show texture and add depth. 

Figure Trace: This is a sketch that was traced over a picture using a single line. It seeks to show only the contour lines of the figure, not the figure itself. 

Fruit Sketch: This sketch uses the technique of cross hatching to show three different pieces of fruit. The outer and inner views of the fruit is shown, and color was added for emphasis.

Room Corner: This is a sketch of the corner of my dorm room, and uses diffrent hatching techniques to show shadow and shade. It seeks to show an interesting perspective of the corner of the room.

 Different Chair Views: This sketch reflects different views of the same chair, including perspective, top, bottom, and front. It also shows the material the chair is made of.

 Fruit Sketch: This sketch is of three different pieces of fruit sitting on a table. It uses cross hatching techniques to display the fruit, table, and background.

 Napkin Sketch: This is a sketch from a bird's eye view of the Stephenson tower, and a perspective view of my room. It was sketched in pen on a napkin, which gave the sketch an interesting texture.

Mind Map: This sketch is a mind map that centers around the central word: place. From this word, I expanded upon it and then drew pictures to add to the words. 

Reflection: My sketching process started out being fairly simple, using graphite and free handing the images. Since then, I have started using techniques such as cross-hatching and incorporating the use of color to bring more interest to the sketch itself.
