This week’s topic was light & shadow so we drew a cloth/sheet which was thrown over a table and chairs. This composition created some really interesting creases and with the lights some deep and light shadows.
To start I drew the sheet from the side with most of the crinkles on it and spent 15 minutes. From this drawing I found that some of the shadows I had drawn were too dark compared to the smoother areas on the sheet. After that drawing I spent another 15 minutes on another section of sheet but made the shadows shallower and in some cases wider to try and spread the gradient covering the drawing.
For the final image I combined both these subtle shadows with the bolder and more effective ones to form an images which looks extremely similar to the actual composition and included all the details e.g. chairs tables. Which weren't visible in the previous drawings, this did come at a cost due to the fact that I spent 30 minutes drawing it compared to the previous 15.
