“...just drawing the shapes rather than drawing the object as itself.�
Bar Stool First, I took a piece of newspaper textured drawing sheet. Then using the charcoal, I began to draw the negative spaces instead of actually drawing the stool. Once the general shape of the stool was produced I connected the lines inside of the stool. After the stool was done, I began to shade the light and the dark of the stool. Then I colored the backgrouns closest to the stool. I wanted the viewer to ďŹ rst see the stool for a stool. I achieved this by making it look as much like a stool as possible. Then I wanted the viewer to see the background. This was possible because of the dark shading that is there. Then I wnated the viewer to see the shading done on the stool which gives it a level of depth.
The purpose of making this drawing was to explore size control in a drawing. Also to master just drawing the shapes rather than drawing the object as itself. This in itself was a challenge because I am so used to drawing the object as itself rather than the negative spaces to make the object appear.
