chinese box



My goals and intentions in this artwork was to show a chinese take out box and make it look realistic using charcoal. I accomplished these goals by taking my time and creating shadows with the charcoal. What suprised me most was that if you make the right lines and shade everything right, it really comes together and looks cool. My drawing is about shadows and dark and light. I tried to portray the light coming on the right side by making that side lighter and the other side darker because that is where the shadows where. The most difficult challange i had to face was making sure it all came together and looked like the actual box. I met my challenege by getting help from mr. gadreau and he helped me make my lines. I think my drawing really works in the lower right corner with the light. Some things i have learnded is that i dont need to make dark lines i can just use my eraser and use that to decifer the light and dark. I learned from taylor that i should use the white chalk in places i wanted it to be lighter because it makes it look better then just using an eraser.
