Week 7 - Still Life Various Materials

Still Life using Various Materials

This is 40-minute sketch drawn from several different types of clothing and clothe. The contrast of shading really shows through the textures created from the different materials creating the illusion that all these different pieces of clothing have different material properties.

The light source in this image has created a depth in this drawing, which shows how the textures of the materials differ from one another. The texture of the scarf shows a deep bobbly effect. Where as the material of some of the other cloth has no depth at all creating a smooth, less detailed surface.

The thicker the material the darker the shading becomes. This is because the material is trapping the light forcing it to stay where it lands rather than seeping through to create further shadows. The contrast of light and dark create the detail within the image giving the illusion of the materials, which are used in this drawing. The light is cast upon the right side of the drawing casting shadows over to the left creating the sense of depth.

There is a lot of detail in this image, which goes into creating the overall feel and depth of this drawing. Spending more time on this drawing would mean greater detail, which would improve upon the look of the materials used in this drawing.
