50%-70% complete. I’m posting the first two now with the glasses not quite done. I’m learning to shade better now. I started with the glasses, then did the hammer(s) but realized how much better the shading and shadows were here and so I’m going back to the glasses just to touch them up a bit. Trying to reflect the realistic lighting is difficult too, but seemed to be easier for the hammer. We’ll see how the wine bottle goes.

20%-25% Complete

Having to draw the same exact lines inverted from one another is hard but having then to outline them after only adds 2x the risk of a screw up, which I had a few of. I decided to take care of the shadows fist which I think will make the surrounding negative space easier to deal with. I haven’t made the box background-negative space yet for the glasses but I did for the other two. I’m actually learning more about shadows now that I’m doing them again.

I’m going to post all three separately but I’ll write my WordPress progress on this post. 0%-15%ish complete on my three drawings. Symmetry is very difficult, I got a little frustrated on my symmetrical hammer drawing. The even contouring made it very interesting with the shadows. The glasses are symmetrical on their own but I decided to copy the hammer over to the other side and reverse it, creating a new perspective on shadow that I didn’t originally intend but I like. I could draw the shadow like normal one the glasses and wine bottle but the hammer had two shadows, each opposite of the other.
100% completion. I feel really goo about this one! I learned how to keep the single line moving! This was very difficult to me but I did it. I realized too late that I forgot to differentiate the scale between objects so I made some edits to that, which set me back a bit but it’s done. I learned patience with this ounce too, using ONE line is frustrating, especially when you realized you’ve hit a block and don’t know how to move on from it, like that hand. Which its why there are squiggly lines tin the thumb and below the fingers, I wasn’t sure where to go so I made a direction!
I made a huge mistake and realized I never out in my 20% progression, and so I will do that now and post my final image once again for my 100%. I learned that using ONE single line to doodle an entire 18×24 composition was harder than I thought. Don’t get me wrong, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but I assumed it couldn’t be treat difficult, just don’t life the pencil. Before I decided to morph some of my objects together I genuinely didn’t know where to go from there, how am I supposed to create a composition of 5 objects all while never lifting a pencil? I was slowly learning how to do this.
