My plan for putting my drawings together is to make them look like they are creating a scene in the same room. I am going to align them in a way that makes them flow.

When I began this assignment, I was very confused as to how I was going to achieve the different values of this still life using the tools I chose. The tools I chose gave a very vast variety of textures and I found that very interesting, but it did not give me the exact image I had imagined in my head. Using my tools, it was very hard to make the areas vary from dark to light where they needed it. I have never been very good at art or drawing, so this was really challenging for me. Some of my tools gave the same value whether I changed the pressure on the object. Other tools were a little easier to vary the value, but I had a hard time knowing where to put the lightest spots and the darkest ones. I saw so many amazing projects in class and I was very disappointed in mine. I saw someone else fill in their negative space with a dark value and the table was a lighter value and that made me kinda realize what I wanted to do with my next drawing. Looking at other projects gave me such a better visual of what was expected and how I should revise mine. The shadows that cast off of the light or even other objects looked really good in other projects. Some of the comments I receive, such as the comment on making my two backgrounds contrast more, that made me notice that the two backgrounds are too much alike.
