Project (2) Exercise 1 (Groups of Objects.)

Before I did the main picture for this exercise, I did a few quick drawings in my sketchbook. drawing the objects see-through and then again in solid form.
 

 
 

 
 

 
 


 
I chose a group of tins on the kitchen counter, invoking a soft and comfortable feeling.
I worked out the shapes with pencil and then worked on from there with charcoal.
I wasn't particularly pleased with the finished picture, but liked some areas of it.
I wish I hadn't made the cylinder at the top so dark and and had more darks on the closer objects to help them come forward.
I tried to imagine that I could see through the objects by sketching it in pencil first but the lines are not visible in the final drawing.
It was uncomfortable for me drawing on a large scale, I hope it will help me to become more flexible and to tackle larger pieces.
