I wanted to do a quick sketch of what my intentions are for the outside landscape portion of this assignment but also wot show where my head is at for the bigger picture once all three pages come together.

Critique Reflection

While completing this assignment there were many triumphs but also some challenges. Some challenges that I came across while creating Big Assignment #1 was using ink in the first place. I realized quickly how difficult ink is to work with. I immediately got intimidated with how dark it was and watered it down and this really helped me have control over the piece. I believe that overall, I created a very strong piece that I am proud of but there is always room for improvement. There were definitely some strong points throughout this piece. I think that my use of measurement and contour line drawings had a great impact on the piece and greatly helped when it came to putting down the ink. I also was very conscious about negative and positive space, and I feel like my drawing really consumed the page which I loved. When it came to mark making, I felt like I was took concentrated with what marks to actually make that I lacked in the value department. One of the main comments I took away from the critique is that although my piece had a great range of value, I could have enhanced the drawing if I would have made my darkest darks stronger. By enhancing the value of my lights and darks, the piece would have had greater contrast and this would have made my drawing a lot stronger. In conclusion, there were many strong points in my piece such as mark making, contour line and value but some things that I could have done differently were enhancing the contrast in some areas to make this drawing even stronger than it already is.
