Contour Line Drawings

 




The contour drawings were interesting to do because using the viewfinder I was surprised how mine turned out. I usually have a problem with proportion if I am not using a grid, and luckily the viewfinder helped me much more than I expected it too. As for the images, the first once I chose was a part of a lamp. I knew immediately it would provide me with an image I could crop and draw at an angle. I see this lamp every day and usually it is just a lamp. However, this day it was a real piece of art, with beautiful lines, shapes and proportions. Simple drawings of every day items can helps us to really see the beauty in them which I did.
The table drawing came as I was waiting in a building for class to start. Again, I realized it had some unique lines to it, and though I didn't draw them a part that was so unique was the way the tiles reflected in the window behind the table. The candle I chose to draw was chosen for it's many curved lines. Often curves can be hard to see and draw correctly. While it was not my best, to me it was one of the more fun items to draw because while a candle, I found it's curves and lines beautiful, especially as a whole object.
