This piece, a drawing of a still life of many forms of styrofoam, is the white on black still life drawing. The task was to draw the forms that were projected under a light with the use of a white charcoal pencil, while making them true to size and position. The key skills and knowledge in this project included realism and shading. One of the most important skills in this piece was to make the drawing look exactly like what we were seeing. The shading is important to this piece because it shows where the light source is coming from and how shadows were casted on each object. The special part of this drawing is knowing how to use the pencil to show the lightest part on the form while slowly transitioning to the dark shadows that are already created with the nature of the black paper. In my final product, you will notice that I succeeded in using the white pencil the darkest where it was the brightest on each form, while slowly lightening up so that it shows the shadow with the black paper. I also used a smudge stick to soften and blend the amount of white from the lightest part. I had challenges with was using the light as shading for the cloth. It was difficult to accurately show the wrinkles in the cloth with the white charcoal because there were parts that would be darker but not dark enough to leave it black. I would say that it was harder to shade with the white rather than normal graphite pencils. What I learned while constructing and finishing this project is that you have to switch your brain to shade the light rather than the shadows. In reflecting on this piece, I am proud of how I was able to make each form proportional and accurately spaced compared to the real life forms. I need to continue working on shading the cloth so that the wrinkles are placed correctly in comparison to the forms
