Here I have my figure drawing and my clear object:
Figure Drawing
For the figure drawing, there were a lot of things that I took into consideration when I was drawing her. For of all, I had never done something of this size, so I had to make sure that my proportion were right. Secondly, I took the vibe of the model (Jamie) and tried to put it on the paper. When I looked at her, I got a bubbly yet undertone seriousness from her, so I tried to make her pose look as feminine and relaxed as possible, but the seriousness come in with her neck. For the most part, her neck was very stern, (not to the point where her muscles were visible) but enough where some shading was necessary. As for the choice of colors working with pastels was very different to me, but I just tried to match them with the color of the clothes that she was wearing that day (black skinnies) but the shirt was a different color, so I went with a light red color. To me, it looked very nice against her blond/orange hair. My favorite part drawing her hair. It was layered enough to where I could give is a spiked look, which gave me more flexibility with highlighting certain parts. Each strand was outlined with a darker shade of orange, while the crown was a more mixed with light yellow and peaches- from this, I wanted the hair to appear shinier. As for her body, she had a very petite figure, which was something that I had no problem drawing. She is more slender then curvy, so keeping her shape to more of an unexaggerated pear was key my goal. Basically, I kept her shape to more of a teenager, than one that was too mature and inaccurate. Overal, I felt very confident with this drawing. Even though it was larger is size, I feel as though I portrayed the model as I saw her. I draw people and I like to portray a specific emotion when I do so, and for this drawing, I hoped to show a relaxed and bubbly personality that I saw in her. The main difference from this and my own work is that I am a manga-baed style, and still made me think to try more of semi-realism. While her face has a less realistic appeal, I believe that her body shape was more on point.
Clear Object
I thoroughly enjoyed making this clear object drawing. First of all, I got to use my favorite medium of all time: 0.7 mm MECH PENCIL! It's my love really. Also, I got to incorporate the use of charcoal, which is something that I'm not very used to,but I was able to use it to be best abilities for this project. I started with choosing the beaker, mainly because it was the first glass that I saw. My first thought was to draw a window, more a rainy scene that portrayed a certain feeling, but I instead went with the beaker because it's new to me. When we watched the video on how to draw a clear object, I liked the technique except for the fact that there was no scene to it. In my head, I couldn't draw this inanimate object without some sort of background. To me, there has to be a place for an object to be set in. So, I first just drew the outline of the beaker from my view, (somewhat of a top/frontal view). I did a really weird thing but shading the mid-tone AFTER I drew the outline of the beaker. Starting with a mid-tone just didn't feel right to me. Afterwards, I starting finding the darker spots to be shading and starting to erase at certain reflections of light on the beaker. After this, I decided to draw the tabe that I was working on (also from my perspective). I then used the shading of the table and set that is my new mid-tone. It made sense to me because seeing through the beaker means that I'd have a skewed vision of the color of the table. I made sure to erase lightly enough that each line across the table wasn't defined, but still visible. Overal, I feel that this was a huge success, because I just wanted to portray a gloomy mood from the loneliness of the beaker, and I think with the dusty grey affect, it got across pretty well.
