In this exercise we were asked to gather a bunch of objects that some how connected, in either similar heights, weights or had a connection naturally. After we’ve gathered and placed the objects we were asked to draw them from any angle and view point we wanted and to do this piece of work using some type of ink based tool.
For this piece I wanted to use a display of kitchen items as I found they connect in a natural way and it would give life to my drawing as it’s a daily appearance in our lives. After I got the set up I decided to use a ball pen as it’s easy to use and creates good tonal work. Below is a picture of the result:
In this piece I found it was a nice exercise to do, I liked using the ball pen to show the tones and textures throughout the piece, I found it was a really effective and different way of drawing an image out. I am happy with the composition of this piece and I’m happy with the angle and the way I’ve set out the objects.
In this piece I decided to go with a lot of the cross hatching technique to show the tones during this drawing, I found with using the ball pen it was the best way to show the dark tones, it was easy to make quick and fast lines to really show the detail and tones within the objects.
All in all, I am happy with the result of this piece and I think it’s really effective in the way of the tonal work and the different techniques I have used throughout the drawing. I am really pleased with how the drawing has turned out and I will further this technique throughout my artwork because it has been an effective way of showing tone and different texture throughout my drawing.
