Black Paper BagProject


This project focuses on:

  • Observation drawing
  • Compostion
  • Value rendition
  • Drawing highlights rather than shadows

Assignment: space. Create a composition of one or several paper bags, rendering each with line and tone If rendering more than one bag, draw one in complete tone, and let the others fade into a contour line. For developing tone on black paper with white charcoal, draw the lights and mid tones, rather than the shadows.
