The emphasis of Week 2 was the
shape and form of the objects within the composition. Since the shape of an
object is simply its outline this week’s drawings quite plain due to there
being no inner detail. This is very interesting, as it is amazing how
recognisable objects are just from their silhouettes. From these contour lines
it is easy to portray the shape of the almost hidden objects.
Above is a contour drawing using
charcoal of the composition which was a table with a variety of objects placed
on top. This contour took 20 minutes to draw. The drawing uses negative space
to show the silhouettes of the objects and the table. Although some mistakes
were made whilst drawing this contour it still looks great and the main objects
within the composition like the stool, table cloth and large vase are easily
recognisable.
