Though I understood the atmospheric  style conceptually I found it hard to translate to my hands. I also found that the objects I would want to be clear dont look quite as clear as I would like because the charcoal always would blend. It was also sometimes hard to get the texture I wanted. I think I did well with having a high contrast.

I think I chose engaging objects, and had a good composition. I need to work on my sense of shadow. I understand cross hatching but maybe should have ensured my lines were straighter. I also realize now I should have included some sense of background.

Pen ink

I could improve on having an even shift in value on the scales done with pen ink. Especially the first one, I went too dark too fast. It was also my first time using pen ink to make a greyscale. The easiest to work with was charcoal, since the blacks were very rich and so offered wider tone variety.

This assignment helped me understand one point perspective a lot better. I believe I got the angles mostly accurately, but somewhere along the way the proportions became elongated. Otherwise, I like my composition, which I think is both balanced and somewhat interesting. I attempted to include more line variation than in my last contour drawing, and I think it turned out well. What I'm most frustrated with is my messed up proportions.

I think I did very well in understanding negative space drawing, as well as accuracy of the subject.
I could have experimented more with theme, as well as figure out a better composition. I was limited in the supplies I had and my ability to view the subject.
I also struggled with my paper wrinkling, causing the image to look a little warped.

Looking back I should pay more attention to line thickness and texture. This may have been helped if I had used more than one pencil to work with. There is something to be said about consistency, but this can also take away from the understanding of the layers and foreground/background in my drawing. There are not very many continuous lines which makes it a little less interesting. There is also not a very strong pathway of the eye, but relatively well understood proportions.
I think I did well with accuracy, and challenging the understanding of inside and outside. This assignment helped me understand contour drawings much more and really helped me improve overall.

I think I understand gesture drawing pretty well, it comes more easily to me. Contour, though, is something I was quite unfamiliar with. These are some of the first contour line drawings I've ever done. I find these ones to be sort of low skill, but do harness the simple clean line work in contour drawings in general.
My gesture drawings were more accurate to what the subject looked like and captured the weight of the cloth much better than the contour drawings did. I also found that in my second view, which was from above, I found it quite hard to make it look accurate since I was standing at an uncomfortable angle above the subject. This is especially true for the contour drawing because it takes more time and focus to make it look right, and I wasnt able to be at this angle without taking breaks. I did enjoy the composition of my objects and how they made the cloth hang, it was a fun shape to attempt capturing.
