Theme: The Passing of Time
Title: 11:00am
Technique: Pencil drawing
Process: I used a 2H pencil to draw the basic outline and a 3B pencil for the shading. I made sure to place the cup under a white light to emphasise the shadows and darker areas to make sketching the cup easier. I started drawing from the top to the bottom, making sure I got the basic outline of the cup accurate first before I started on the shading. To make the shadows more realistic, I used my finger to smudge the marks to give it a more organic and "messy" structure.
Reflection: As this is the first drawing, the shape of the cup was disproportionate and looked more like a rectangle than a square. The shading and shadows also look a bit rough and the lines of the shadow is still visible. To improve on the shadow, I won't use harsh lines and practice makes perfect when it comes to the shape of the cup.
