Learning to See

During this project, I have explored with many different drawing utensils such as pencil, pen, and watercolor.  I have found that I am most successful with pencil because I enjoy focusing on contour lines.  I am very literal and realistic, and I struggle drawing in an abstract way.  I believe that I was able to represent the contour lines well, but I struggled with representing value and texture.  I found these drawings to be most successful because I spent the most time and attention to detail on these drawings.  My peers responded similarly, and said my drawings were literal, and the lines were very exact.  My representational tendencies are to use fine lines to create a very one-dimensional image. In the future, I'd like to focus on adding value and texture into my drawings.
