Master Work

Here is my first project in Drawing 140. The first thing we had to do was find a composition we were interested in and make a copy of it. Once you had the copy, you had to gesture the objects onto the paper. Next, you used tools such as plumb lines, transferring angles, comparative measuring, etc. to recreate the composition.

Here is the copy of my composition with all the markings on it from comparative measuring and transferring angles.

Here is my gesture of the composition.


This photo was taken about an hour later. As you can see, I began to really establish what is where. I found myself having trouble with the placement and making too dark of a line.


Here is the final composition with the resource next to it. I am not very happy with it. It was very hard to match the glass to the proper size and proportion throughout the composition. As you can see, I still had trouble with the line weight. I found this project as good practice though to reinforce all the tools we had learned in class.
