\/><\/a>Phoebe Nichols &#8217;20<\/p>\n<p>In this drawing, I wanted to continue working on my photo-realistic skills. I realized that in order to do this, I really needed to pay attention to value and making confident lines. I struggled with the amount of content and details of this drawing because of the size of the paper I decided to draw on. I think I began to build values but fell short in differentiating the values of the objects. If I had more time, I would continue to build the values and shading so that my composition would reflect the wide spectrum of lights and darks. I also struggled with the lights and shadows of the bundled blanket. I left out a lot of detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 x 14 inches Note the slight cropping at the bottom to activate that negative space and &#8220;launch&#8221; us into the space more strongly.
