Compare and Contrast

For each of the drawings, we used different materials. Drawing the bike, we used normal sketching pencils. When we drew the candy jars, we used colored pencils. Out of the two different styles of pencils, I preferred using the normal pencils. I preferred them because I felt I had more control over my drawing, I knew how it would look and I could erase my mistakes easier. Drawing the bike and the jar were both very different as well. Though with both drawings we had to think about the composition of our drawings, in the bike we had to pay more attention to value. For the jars, we payed more attention to shadowing and highlighting. The bikes we had the option of working on colored paper, but I did not. However on the jars, we all worked on colored paper. The jar gave a more easy going feel to the classroom whereas the bike gave a more intense feel. However I did enjoy them both immensely. In this post I included pictures of the drawings side by side as well as the organol photographs of the items that were drawn.
