Still Life Drawing of an Arrangement of Objects
'Plain Contour Drawing'
This is a plain contour drawing of four different objects. In this study we concentrated on the lines and left shading out completely. This enables the eye to concentrate on the basic shape of an object rather than the light and shadow.
Focusing on the basic shape of these objects gives the drawing a more plain but accurate finish as it is much easier to get the lines in the correct places and easy to correct a mistake. However, with having less detail in a drawing it is sometimes hard to understand what an object is. This is the case with the drapery as it can just look like scribbles on a page.

'Plain Contour Drawing2'
This is another plain contour drawing using the same objects but with a different vantage point. The composition of these objects were set up with the observational line falling across the top of the objects from the very tallest to the very smallest. This observational line leads the eye to look at the composition as a whole rather than just focusing on the single objects.
If I were to draw this composition again I would choose a vantage point where there were no kissing objects. I noticed while drawing these objects that the edge of the jug and the top of the plastic tube had lines that were touching. This distracts the eye from the other objects and leads you to focus more on these kissing objects.

'Negative Space Drawing'
This is a negative space drawing. Rather than drawing the objects, I picked out the shape of them and shaded in the areas using a graphite stick that were negative and kept the shape of the objects white. This gives the drawing a whole new viewing perspective.
Even with no form it is clear to see what most of the objects are and the darkness of the negative space makes the shape of the objects stand out even more.
