Sketches

This is one of the latest sketches I have done. The objective of this sketch was to look at an object and draw it with the negative and positive space reversed. I chose a butterfly on a ring that I was wearing. Butterflies are one of my favorite things and I really like to draw them so I thought it would be cool to use one for this type of sketch because it would look a bit different. I feel this sketch is my best one yet because it shows my progression in sketching and I like the way it turned out. If i had to change something about this sketch I would make the antennas on the butterfly skinnier. Since I am very satisfied with how the drawing turned out I feel it doesn't reflect any weaknesses I have with drawing.

This is one of my earlier sketches I have done this year. It is of my keychain laying on my desk. I like my drawing but it is not one of my favorites. I feel it reflects a time when I had not been sketching for very long, therefore I was new at sketching. I really like my idea of sketching my keys because there are quite a few objects on my keychain that represent who I am and I like how they look. But, if I were to redo this sketch I would definitely concentrate on proportioning when drawing. The "WSU Cougars" lanyard looks like it is as small as my DG keychain wallet when it is actually a lot longer and bigger than it. I feel like I overlapped things well but I need to work on making my drawings cleaner.

This is a drawing of a corner of a room before I learned how to do one-point perspective. It is also one of my earlier sketches. I like this drawing because it is the corner of my dorm room. It had a good amount of detail and depth I could experiment with. My goal for this sketch was to make it look like it was quickly done rather than very precise and time consuming. If I were to do this sketch over I definitely would incorporate what I have learned about one-point perspective and spend more time on it to make it look more professional. I feel for only being a beginner at sketching, this sketch and my other two are pretty well done.
