Week 8 Reflective Surfaces - Light, Reflection & Refraction
















This week I used pencil to draw a collection of jars, jugs and other objects on a table covered with cloth. The first drawing I did was very basic and did not contain many reflections. The only sign of a reflection is in the glass bottle which shows the table although it does not show any of the other objects within its reflections which takes away any effects of realism.

The second drawing is from the opposite side of the table. I had 40 minutes for this drawing and as you can see I did not finish the detailing on the clothe that been placed over the table as there are some blank areas. This drawing contains many reflections since I tried to apply them to every solid and shiny object. Some good examples of these reflections are on the rim of the jug on the left and below the water line of the bottle. To show these reflections I simply shaded the reflections into the objects and for the larger reflections used cross hatching to maintain the shape of the original object so they look realistic.
