Week 2 Homework: Negative Space

For this week Homework, we were asked to create some Negative space drawings of Household objects that we found interesting. I wanted to make this a challenge so i wanted to draw things, that created unusual patterns and shadows or had a wide variety of depth to them. I feel that i achieved that with the 3 drawings i did.

Drawing 1: After shave bottle
Time taken: 1 hour
Medium used: 2B + 4B Pencils
I chose this subject or the fact it not only created interesting shadow patterns, but it was also see through, which distorted things behind it, which i found really interesting to Draw.

Drawing 2: Spoon

Time Taken: 20 mins

Medium Used: ""

For this object i wanted to go for something that was almost a polar opposite of the last thing i drew, to give a comparison and contrast from the glass to this metal spoon, it gave some interesting shadows which took some work getting down onto the paper but i feel it went sucessfully

Drawing 3: Pocket Watch

Time taken: 40 mins
Medium Used: ""

This pocket watch was given to me by my Girlfriend, so not only does it hold some sentimental value, but it offered an interesting subject to draw. I wanted to tackle trying to draw something intricate like the chain on the watch in negative space to create a challenge for myself, i feel that there is room for improvement but it came out with a reasonable degree of success.
