Clear Figure Drawing

I find the clear object drawing both difficult but fun. It is difficult because you must pay attention to the lights and darks in the object and sometimes that is hard because you lose track of things, the lighting could change, or the clear object could be moved and so you have to just try to draw from what you remember when you start. It was fun though because it didn’t have to be perfect and it teaches you that when you have to erase something it’s not always a mistake. I like that because in classes you are kind of taught to erase things when you make a mistake, not when you want to make something better.

            I make a lot of decisions in this drawing because it’s hard to figure out what you plan to do. When I start this I just jump right into it, I don’t take time to think. Just draw what you see. There is nothing to think about, the whole thing is shading, I just figure out what looks good.

Now, since I enjoy doing this type of drawing I am going to practice more. I think that nothing will be perfect if you don’t practice first. This was my first time doing a clear figure drawing. I believe that I did well but I think that with practice I could do even better. I was challenging my eyes while doing thins because I had to transfer what my eyes see onto a piece of paper, coping as many details as possible.
