Realistic Drawing



The last couple of weeks we worked on realistic drawings of still life. We spent the first week of our realistic drawing we practice by drawing; bear, coyote, and dear skulls that we have in the class.   Something that I found really tricky about this project was getting the shading to be clean, so that you couldn’t see all the lines. Fix that I had to keep going over all the shaded parts really lightly with my pencil till those lines disappeared. Also when I was drawing it was really hard to keep the side of my hand from smudging the graphite, so to solve that problem I put a piece of paper under my hand so that I could rest my hand down on the page and keep it from smudging. I was really impressed with it in the end. It was by far the best realistic drawing I have ever done. I think that it was a very good composition; the lights and darks are not totally even so that it doesn’t look to even. Over all I was very impressed with my work on this project, if I could do it again I would have a piece of paper under my hand to keep the whole project smudge free.
