Non human anatomy

the eagle has some basic shading there isnt much verity in the shading area although there are some strong which help to distinguish the outlines around the eagle wings. there is some aspects of pose as you can see the eagle's head is turned. areas which need improving on are the shading on the feathers as the lack of any shading doesn't help create any form with the eagle and cant  distinguish any of the eagles feather patterns.

this drawing of a squirrel has some good proportion , their is some nice detail on the head we can see the whiskers. nose etc making the image look more alive. the shading is shows areas of the fur which has darker values than others such as the top part of the squirrel and the bottom of the tail show the darker values. the darker lines on the hind leg help to indicate where the leg is.      

this drawing of a tortoise has some nice shading around its shell which show cases the tortoise pattern on his shell. we also have outlines of the tortoise's shell pattern as well. there is some good form on  the legs as it show off the scales of the tortoise. some areas which need improve on is the head, the head is very basic more detail needs to be added.     

figure drawing week 8 directed study

this study has some nice shading such as around the bottom of the foot and ankle which helps to create some form on the foot, their is some light yellow shading throughout the which indicates some of the skin and also some of the vains in the foot. some areas which need improving on is the choice of coloured paper or pastel  the yellow pastel is to bright which makes it hard to see the toes but can just make out the outline of the of the foot.    

these studies have same problem as the previous with the yellow pastel makes it harder to see the detail on 

the foot, the top study isn't that accurate but there is some nice shading, the back of the foot has some gentle shading and blends well with the image, we also have some strong darker values on the ankle which is to show off the form of the ankle.  

there have been some improvements here such as the use of different colour pastel making easier for the viewer to see. the left foot has some nice shading, the values gradually change for example side of the foot has darker values and the values being to get lighter. some of the toes need improving as last 2 seem to be same size. the right image is a side view of foot. the proportion on the foot needs some improving as the width is too short.    

Classical Interior architecture

this is a good composition for interior architecture. it's at an angle giving the image a more 3D effect as we can see though the archways. there some good textures here such as on the stairs and arch way the curved line help to show the curves in the architecture such as the archway the line curve inwards to show how the form of the arch. there is is some shading on on the archway, the stairs and the top of the image, however these are the same value and don't indicate any light source also the the inner part of the image doest have any shading so it doesn't show any form of the architecture.

composition focus

this still life arrangement has some good aspects to it, such as the vase is in the centre of the rule of thirds so becomes the focus point of the image and the three other objects become areas of interest. the sideways vase helps to connect the other objects as the image has an actual line so your eyes will follow across the image. one thing which can be a problem with this image is the fact that there is an even number of objects on the table so your eyes will could pair each object up to one another. the shading is well done we get some nice reflections on the vases such as the middle you can see the reflections of the two vases has darker values to so the refection and you can even see how the reflections curves into the vase. however I think that some areas could be improved such as adding another object on left side to make the image more balanced and to move the small jug close to the large vase as the two objects are near kissing.        

light and shade

 this study has some good observation here we get a good sense of form and how the drapery folds, although the drawing could of included the object it was resting on (chair, door etc) as the image just seems to be floating  or very least shaded in the background to get rid of the white void. there are some nice lines used here, there are some harder lines to indicate the folds in the drapery however there may be to many as the fabric is soft and bends so perhaps using the charcoal more softly could help to improve the image. but the shading is very well done there is some soft lines to show the crease in the drapery and verity of different values such as the darker values in the centre which show the form shadow on the folds, we can see the values decrease as you move away from it. although the shading doesn't blend in with the rest of the shading and seems to be a outline of the shadows, these need to blended together. 

 this image has some improvements over the above image such as the addition of the chair which the drapery is lays on and shading around the chair so the drapery doesn't look as if it is floating in space. the lines are similar as to the above image, the darker lines help to indicate the folds in the drapery and help it stand out from the form shadows. the shading are far to dark, outlined and don't blend at all with the rest of the shading in the image.   

first off with this image is we have the addition of the pole the drapery is over,as you can see at the top of the image how the drapery folds over the top of the pole which helps indicate where the pole is but also how the drapery folds around it. there is some good lines here at the top of the pole and down the right side of the image we have a soft line which does help to show the soft fabric of the drapery, however some of the darker lines at the bottom do contradict that, these areas should of been lighter.   

mass, form and shape

this still life has some good shape and form. the shape is well described we can understand what the objects in the image are. the ball and jug have some good form, the shading on top of the image describe the form of the ball as the shading is curves into the ball, the darker values in the ball help show the reflective surface the ball has, the reflections also curve into the ball. the images do have some depth to it as the the jug and vase are in front of the image such as the darker lines on the jug to help show the object is in front. this still life is well balanced, the ball is the focus point as it sits in the centre of the rule of thirds so the eye is focused at the centre. the eye also follows the curve of the ball which connects to two objects together. there are some areas which need to be improved such as the handle which appears to be slanting a bit and some of the shading on the bottle need improving.

figure

this image of s skeleton has some good proportion  body is right height and width, the we can see the curve of the spine. some areas which need improving is shading as there is a lack of shading within this image, also detail needs to be added to the skull as this moment its just an outline of a skull.   

this is a study of a skull, the skull has some good form and shape, its easily identifiable the skull is in proportion and we have some nice added detail on the skull with the cracks on the top of the skull. some areas which require improvement are the eye sockets  as the shape and hight are off slightly this areas does need some improvement although the space between the eyes are right distance. some shading is require on the teeth, one area which should be done next time if the artist wishes to draw another skull is have a different perspective as the skull is just straightforward and looks very flat next time go for a more 3D perspective   

this skeleton has some nice bit of detail on the skull for example the outline and also the detail such as the jawline and teeth. some shading has been used here as well, some of the ribs on the chest have lighter values than others as well.
