Practical Drawing: Object Drawing

This practical drawing session with john was about improving our skills of drawing and understand drawing with perspective. The task which was set for this was object drawing. We were set given a number of scenarios where objects were displayed together, and we had to draw the objects from our current perspective. I found this task quite hard as I know that I am not a particularly good drawer and struggle with gather a correct perspective. However I attempted at capturing what I saw in-front of me. I decided that I would go along with any mistakes that I made and draw in fine liner as I would quickly shade any darker areas of my drawing. I think that this turned out okay, but I understand that I need to improve.


So that I could improve I started drawing some objects with pencil and setup my own little display with a meal deal I purchased at the student union. I wanted to focus on getting the outline right to begin with, so I began sketching my displayed objects. Overall I thought that I had a nice perspective but struggled getting some detail within my drawing.

With my next sketch I began to focus on one particular object, a can, looking at understanding detail. I picked a can as it was a easy shape to draw and I could better concentrate on the detail with some shading. I decided to focus on the top of the can as that was the easiest with detail.

Overall I thought that this weeks object drawing task was very difficult for myself to understand perspective in drawing. Though that I believe that the outcomes were not completed very well, I do understand my strengths and weakness much better about myself. I will hope to improve my drawing skills thought the year, and use my strengths to my advantage.
