Project 2 Exercise 1

Detail and tone

In this exercise I’ll practise building up dark, medium and light tones, using pencils and hatching and cross-hatching techniques. First, I practised drawing single objects using pencils.

I used pears and apples and a silk scarf for the final piece. I used coloured pencils and fountain pen so I could do more hatching. I was pleased with the composition but overall but I got confused with adding more and more tones with cross-hatching without achieving my goal.
