Week 4 - Still Life (Composition)


This still life drawing was completed in around 1 hour using soft pencils on A3 paper. The aim was to arrange objects in order to obtain a good composition.

The composition is asymmetrical and this makes it appealing to the eye. There seem to be several implied lines such as a diagonal one from the top left to the bottom right of the page, and there are a few points of interest where the shading is more detailed. The values are quite varied though some objects seem to lack shading, such as the lemon, and that could have helped with describing the texture of the fruit better. The proportions are right but there are certain issues with the form of the objects - the verticals and ellipses aren't correctly drawn.
