This is my progression of a small Hershey chocolate bar. This project definitely challenged me to use a range of values and to create creases in the wrapper. It was very hard to keep my graphite lines sharp and clean. This project was time consuming but a very cool concept!
Evaluation 1. Explain how value is important in this drawing. Value is crucial to showing the folds and shadows created by the candy wrapper. By using darker values to outline and create shadows I was able to make the drawing sharper. The lighter values show where the light hit certain sections of the wrapper. 2. Describe several challenges that you faced while creating this drawing. What did you do to overcome these obstacles? I did face issues making sure my values stayed sharp. To solve this I went back to add dark values so that the graphite did not grow soft. I also struggled to make the shape of the wrapper look ideal so I had to erase and draw again but pay very close attention to details which helped a lot. 3. How important was it to have clean crisp edges to your wrapper? So so so important. The wrapper itself is made out of a shiny paper that is cut in a rectangle and folded. This alone presses the need for crisp edges. Also since this is progression crisp edges allow for the viewer to see the change from drawing to drawing. 4. Explain how your interpretation of texture is essential in capturing the look of the object. The shiny texture of the wrapper created highlights and forced me to create a smooth look with my pencil lines. The inside was a more dull so the lines were rougher yet blended while still including dark values for folds. 5. Name three things you would draw differently if you were to do this project again. What did you learn from this drawing? a) add more darks in the shadows and make them smoother b) rewrite the lettering and make it sharper c) sharpen the highlights on the shiny part of the wrapper This drawing taught me to pay close attention to detail as well as sharpen value based on the texture of the object.
