Still Life and Tone: Work-1
Original artwork description:
This drawing is part of a still life series on charcoal and foundations in Drawing 1, Studio Exercise 2: Tone.
The vessels were drawn using both soft and medium charcoal, with shadows and highlights created by blending with fingers and a blending tool where necessary. I selected these three specific vessels to study not only their shapes, highlights, and shadows but also the reflections from their surroundings. As all three objects are clear or frosted, the aim was to focus on all aspects, including shade, light, and reflective properties.

Still life Drawing Botanicals: Work-2
Original artwork description:
This water colour drawing was part of a series exploring drawing landscape and fine-tuning perspective and proportions using botanicals in Drawing 3, Studio Exercise 3: Drawing Botanicals.
The original drawing was created using graphite pencil in various types, concentrating on the proportions of the selected botanical subject and its natural intertwining shapes. The Swiss cheese monstera pot plant was chosen to explore the twists and curves inherent in plants. Emphasis was placed on perspective and proportions of the organic shapes. Watercolour was used to add colour to the drawing, employing different tones and shades by adjusting water levels and using dry brush techniques to illustrate the shades and lights of the plant. The goal was to use watercolour to highlight dimensions in a simplified manner.

Interior, Single Point Perspective: Work-3
Original artwork description:
This drawing was achieved with a graphite pencil and ruler, using single-point perspective to depict a room’s interior. To delve further into this concept, I chose the typical view of a ramen shop. During my travels in Japan, I developed an appreciation for the unique shapes and dimensions of various shops. Despite their differences, these establishments share common, wholesome characteristics like windows, stools, and walls adorned with notes or posters, all contributing to the experience of eating ramen. Through this drawing, I aimed to recreate the view and sensation I felt upon entering these shops. Adhering to the rules of single-point perspective, I established the foundational elements on the left side representing the bare bones, the blueprint in which each business builds upon. Subsequently, charcoal and blending techniques were applied to the right side, transitioning the artwork to incorporate those wholesome characteristics while additional detail to explore perspective with light and shading.
