In Observational Drawing, we learned about using modulated contour to create space without even adding any shading or value. I started with several studies, looking for angles that created depth through strong overlap and by looking at an angle instead of straight on. I chose my final composition because I liked the abstraction and I liked that the cords and wire on the clock became small focal points. I then began my intuitive gesture drawing. I began with very light geometric shapes, carefully sight-measuring everything and gradually building up line weight as I became more sure of where each line went. For edges that were nearer, I made them darker so that they stood out more. For edges that receded in space, I used atmospheric perspective by making them lighter and less detailed, and thereby pushing them into the background. To add more interest, I began adding lines where sharp contrasts were in the objects and where there were highlights, further dividing the shapes into more interesting ones and turning the forms. I used the same technique as before and gradually built up line weight, until I was felt it turned the form the way I wanted. I also included my homework drawing we did simultaneously, which helped me to better understand the concepts I needed to apply to my larger in-class one.
