To start, we made a value chart using stippling, hatching, cross-hatching, and an invented shading method. This was to practice making value using pen. Then, we watched a series of four videos and copied the shapes and textures made in the video.

To start, I constructed a Lego creation to photograph and practice perspective with. After printing out the photo, I used a ruler to find the vanishing point in the photo. Finally, I drew out all the lines with a ruler, following one-point perspective rules, and added value at the end.For this assignment, I drew two examples of one-point, one of two-point, and both a worm's eye and bird's eye drawing for three-point. To practice, we started with cubes, but then applied this technique to bubble letters, buildings, street lights, and sidewalks.For this assignment, we drew various objects to practice value. I made a 9-value scale, making sure any two shades can be distinguished. We practiced drawing shapes, first separate, then together, in which a cone casts a shadow on a sphere. Finally, I drew a pair of scissors from a photo. It appears to be impossibly leaning forward due to my omission of the glass it was actually leaning against in the reference photo. It was hard to draw close but distinct values in the scissors. Drawing a solid value more evenly would likely help with this.For this assignment, our prompts were to draw a shoe, a portrait of someone without a reference, a two-point perspective city, and a hand. Overall I enjoyed making these and am most happy with the shoe. I tried to be as realistic as possible when drawing that and the hand, while for the city scape, I went for a cartoony style. For the self-portrait, I tried to make it look okay, but I much prefer to use a reference photo when drawing people.
