I didn't really like this project because I don't like drawing things by looking at them in real life. I also didn't like it because drawing a bag with thousands of folds and bends is not something I like doing in my free time. Other than that, I liked using white charcoal on black paper.
This was the first phase of the paper bag and, to be honest, this is probably the best one. It was the easiest to draw because it didn't really have any crumbled parts and the highlights and tints were really easy to spot. I tried to turn the bag until I saw the best way to draw it. Than I took a picture of it and saved it onto my phone to draw if I didn't finish that day. |
The second phase of the paper bag was definitely harder than the first one, but I think I blended better on here than the phase before this. Now that I'm looking at it though, I forgot to fill in the back of the bag. Oops....oh well. Anyway, I had trouble with the right side because I couldn't get it to look like it was folding and leaving a shadow. It just looks like two pieces overlapping |
The third phase is my favorite. I really like it because I can see wear most of the folds are and it actually almost looks accurate. I could have done better on the blending though. I see many places that aren't defined enough and places where the paper is still showing. With the way I crumbled the bag, it was difficult to keep the bag standing so I had to take a picture and go off of that the whole time. |
The fourth step was the hardest. I wasn't sure how I was going to make all of those lines and folds so I made up half of them. At this point I got really lazy and didn't try as hard as I should have and it was at this point where I actually looked at all of them all together. I noticed that the amount of work I put into the project was parallel to the descending order of the project itself. |
