Planning a Sketch




The above two images show the artists use of quickly planning a sketch by using a light pencil to sketch out the basic shape and positions of objects on a table using very little pressure. This is shown more in the 1st image as the plan on the second image was filled in and refined as the main sketch was completes.

In the second image there was a good use of proportional measurement with the copper vase and the two smaller vases and the use of shading is generally rough in this image with a mix of good and bad examples. The shading on the table cloth and vase with flowers in is very rough and lacks detail or precision which in and of itself is not a bad thing but when compared to the good use of shading and tones used on the smallest vase and the copper vase detracts from the overall image. Although it could be argued that the shading on the furthest away vase is a good example of perception & depth as less detail would be visible on a more obscured object hidden in the shadows of the flowers and taller vase.
