Charcoal Drawing Final

Charcoal Drawing 2 (In Progress)

My new project is very similar to my last as I must reflect upon the shadows cast by light and fillin in with a charcoal pencil. I feel like my project is currently approximatley 30% complete. I am currently drawing a wheel-like object with three candlesticks surrounding it. I feel like the majority of my success has been in the wheel due to the fact that I am having difficulties capturing the shadows cast on the candlesticks.

Charcoal Still Life

This artwork was created by rubbing a thick layer of choarcoal on a piece of white paper and using eraser to create a negative image. Using the eraser, I reflected upon the shadows cast by the light. Using expressive line quality and curve, I was able to create a sense of 3-dimensionality in the object. I used the areas where each object met and using comparisons, each object is proportional to one another.
