Still Life Drawing Project
Fruit Winery
Charcoal on Newsprint August 2020 By: Jennifer Suknot Process In the beginning of this process I had to draw out a shape which I had done with a trapezoid. Once I had that done, I had to draw the body of the fruit and the wine bottle with the shades. Then I had shaded everything a different color, after that I had used an eraser to get the light effects in there. Sketches
Sketch 1 Through the first sketch I wanted to get the feel of how to draw different fruits. I wanted to have my options open, so I had gathered all of the fruits and a wine bottle. While I had started this sketch I wanted it to feel like a winery farm. As you may see I was practicing my light shading through this sketch. This is one of my favorite sketches and in my opinion there's nothing wrong with it. Sketch 3 For my third sketch I've decided to do dark shades. What I could have worked on better for this one is the wine bottle and the bananas but the hardest part was how the grapes were standing. The positive thing that I like was the pineapple of how I have the shades and how its blended. |
Reflection
The overall process of doing my final still life drawing was pretty easy, I felt like I knew what I was doing after I had done my three sketches. The success about this project was drawing something based on something real and how I wanted my final drawing to look like. One of the difficult things was drawing the alignment of the grapes. What I had learned about this project was how to do a variety of different colors of shading and blending. If I was able to approach this project again in the future I would probably add more fruit. s
This is one of the pitchers where I had placed some of the fruit in different places. While I had done that I decided to mess around with the lighting and the natural lighting, which causes the effect on the fruit. After I was done messing around with the lighting, I had gotten different shadows for everything in the pitcher. Sketch 2
In sketch 2 I had wanted to mess around with the fruit to get an idea, but I was also messing around with the lighting for all three sketches to see if I could get different shades. While I was in the process of making this sketch I decided to do light and dark shading. I believe I could have done better with the pineapple and grapes but the rest was great. The positive part about this sketch is the bananas, apples and the orange. |
