Drawing Midterm Study Notes

Materials Used
- Colored pencils utilized to create a rubbery/plastic texture in the figures.
What Worked
- The texture effectively simulated the look desired, particularly for the figure named "Melody."
What I Struggled With
- Working with white colored pencils on toned paper was difficult.
- I did not add the reflections in my exercises as intended.

Notes on the reference project related to still life were not elaborated on in details in the transcript.

Focus on developing quick, expressive sketches using pastel materials, possibly for capturing the essence of form and movement.

Reference
- Source for inspiration or material referenced from Unsplash, with specific mention of having 500+ jellyfish pictures available for drawing inspiration.
- Consideration about copyright on images used.
Materials Used
- Oil pastels selected for their capacity to create a glowing effect in drawing.
What Worked
- The colors achieved with the oil pastels were described as vibrant, enhancing the glow effect.
What I Struggled With
- Achieving opaque coverage on black paper posed a significant challenge when using oil pastels.

Aim to integrate understanding of structure and design along with artistic representation in this category of drawing.

Reference
- Project details regarding an architectural drawing are mentioned but specifics are not provided in the transcript.
Materials Used
- Combination of colored pencils and oil pastels was employed in this drawing.
What Worked
- The trees in the architectural drawing captured attention effectively, achieving the desired outcome for that element.
What I Struggled With
- Difficulty in representing the texture of brick in the drawing.
- There was a sense of giving up on surrounding elements, particularly the trees around the house, indicating a challenge in balancing various components of the scene.

The reflections highlight challenges in both technique and materials, with specific attention to how different paper colors affect application and representation.
