Observational Sketches

I'm very happy with how this drawing came out.  It took me about 20 minutes to get the shading correct. I feel like you can look at this and tell that it is bananas, whereas in some of my other drawings you cannot despite my best effort.


This is a sketch of one of my studio drawings.  I also selected this one because it is obvious what it is.  I was proud of the project and feel that my drawing represented it well.  I took my time to make it look nice.

This is a zoomed in look on the same studio project.  It shows how the pieces of wood are connected.  I picked it because I like how it fills the whole page and gives you a different perspective on what you see above.
This is Andrada Gilbert's sketch of a leaf.  I picked it as my favorite because it is simple yet recognizable.  I feel like just focusing on the outline brought a new look to the leaf.
This is Anna Hambly's sketch of a leaf.  I also selected a leaf for her because I liked how different the two sketches were.  Anna's focused more on shading and texture, which in a way I view to be more convincing.  I liked her placement on the page, making it a dominant element.
