The softer pencils were great for creating a smooth merging tone and could give depth as well if harder pencils were worked in before hand or after. So pencils were really good for accurate tone. Ball pionts were far better for hatching or bold lines, blocks of solid tone or stippling as each dote has more presents.
What sort of marks work well to create tone, pattern and texture?
Hatching and cross hatching works really well to create tone. Stippling works well to create pattern, repeated lines can also do this.
Did you enjoy capturing detail or are you more at home capturing big broad brush sketches?
I do ordinarily enjoy capturing detail and if any thing doing this curse has tort me to not try to include excessive detail. However by pencil sketch did not capture the detail of tone I'd wanted because, I was drawing such a small fir cone bud that I had trouble with my observations and the detail suffered because of this.
Look at the composition of the drawings you have done in this project. Make some sketches and notes about how you could improve your composition.
I think the composition of both pieces is ok both being central and use as much of the paper as possible wels still fitting it.
I could perhaps of got a more interesting composition by keeping the size of the items the same but moving them right to one side to create more negative space on one side than the other.
Did doing a line drawing get you to look at space more effectively?
Yes I think it has because all a line drawing really shows is application of space and an objects form comes down to the space in and relationship of the lines. There for makes you really look at the space between lines cos that such a large part of the piece.
