Sticks and Cell Phones

These are photos from about a month ago. We drew so many, many, many mini sketches of a tree branch (of our choosing) and of our cell phones really focusing on contrast. Throughout 300 some sketches, we slowly combined various aspects and details from each to eventually come up with four final drawings (which looked absolutely nothing like a stick or cell phone!). I have posted here my 8 drawings, final four drawings, and then my four models. The drawings I outlined in red so you could distinguish between mine and the others. All of the drawings were black and white (great contrast), which looked absolutely awesome when displayed. On the table, you will notice, are models. Everyone made four, inspired by our final four drawings. They turned out quite interesting. When we had our discussion in class, we choose a model, sketched it, analysed it, and then tried to find the inspiration drawing. Some people actually found the inspiration one, out of all of the drawings pinned up! In case you were wondering, my teacher, Suzanne, is the woman in the one picture. This was an extremely long, drawn out process, but at the end of it all, I learned to really look and see the details of the most common things.
