Blog Post #5 - shading project at home

1. Include pictures of the sketches and completed project you did at home.
   
   
   
   
   
2. What did you choose to draw? Why? Did you keep yourself challenged?
   
   
          I chose to draw a lemon. The lemon captured my eye when I walked into my kitchen and my dad was cutting it. I looked for objects to do but I wanted something that would interest me and not just do it because it's mandatory. The lemon was different and has two main components that I was able to draw. This kept me challenged. The exterior of the lemon was hard because I wanted to get the bumpy looking texture.
   
   
3. How did you setup your lighting? Why?
   
   
   I focused on one main light source. I did this because I am able to find small details when the light is shining in one place. In the future, I think it would be interesting to try shading an object with multiple light sources.
   
   
4. Was it easier to draw at home or at school? Why? How was it different?
   
   
   For me, it was way easier to draw at school. At home, there were so many more distractions than at school. I could constantly hear the TV or was thinking about my other homework. When we draw at school, we have one intention and that helps me focus more. Last year at my art class after school, I was able to get so much more done, then when I tried to at school. Classes specifically for art are so claming and fun and I am just more in tune with my art then.
5. Are you happy with how your work turned out? Why/why not? What would you have done differently?
   
   
   I am happy with the first half of the lemon I drew. The first one I drew was the one on the left. It is the one overlapping the other half of the lemon. It took mutiple days to make sure the details were correct. My second half showed shading however, I think I could have added some more darker hues in the drawing.
