This was the first fully shaded drawing I had to do. The instructions were to pick four objects of various shapes and sizes and draw them in pencil. I took a hardcover book, a shell from the MS Gulf Coast, a plastic Tupperware bowl and a Hawaiian nose flute. The nose flute came out a little skinny for what it is in reality but other than that I think this came out really well. It took me a long time to do this drawing, overall I spent about six hours on this. I did start over on this about four or five times and got frustrated and threw them away. The initial way to lay out the shapes for a drawing calls for lightly sketching in where you think the objects are supposed to be. Well it turns out I am horrible at this particular step. I finally figured out that if I draw one object in proportion then I can add the other objects in relation to it. Although I ran the problem of drawing the initial object either to small or to large and the other objects didn't all fit properly on the page. It took a lot of trial and error but I like the end result and I had a lot of fun getting there.
