These are the six still lifes that i did in class today. The first is a old phone. I felt this one came out well. I felt it was the least difficult to draw as it was simply angled lines and circles with some shading. I also drew the saddle belt next to the phone. The next was a jug/bottle with the label "The Kraken". My favorite part of this still life was drawing the kraken. For the head of the kraken i did progressive shading from dark to light. For the glass imprint that says "Kraken" i drew a dark outline of the words in bubble font followed by in the inside with a light outline saying "Kraken". The skull was without a doubt the most difficult out of the five still lifes that i drew. It was difficult to draw the depth of the eye and crevices of the skull. The general outline of the skull was not difficult. I did the skull zoomed in with my viewfinder in order to add more detail to the skull instead of its surroundings. However, by the skull you will see a horse shoe. I also drew another jug/bottle. In this still life, I drew with a lot of shading to add detail. I made a point of adding the leaves that interfered with the overall picture of the bottle/jug. I drew the horse shoe by the jug so that the jug was not singled out. I felt showing different values in shading helped contribute to the curves of the jug. For my fifth still life, I drew a saddle. the saddle was not too difficult. The basic outline was not difficult. There wasn't much shading to do. I drew this in moderate detail. I felt i could have shaded more on the top/seat of the saddle to show an arc like portray of the seat to signify its curves. For my final still life, I drew the old phone, skull, and some of the fabric surrounding the two objects. I felt this one came out the best. It was much easier than the others because I took a picture of what i wanted to draw and changed the filter of the image to black and white which made it easier to determine and draw values of the picture. I feel there is a wide range of values in both. I felt the skull came out better than my first attempt at the skull and so did the phone. There is darkness and highlights evident in both objects. There is shading drawn in different directions to distinguish the different angles evident. As i finished my final still life, i felt that i vastly improved.
