Contour Drawings

These past few weeks, we've been learning about contour line drawing, which focuses on lines rather than shading, texture, or lighting. These are the projects.

1. Blind Contours (drawing items without looking at the paper): The items I've elected to draw consist of, in order of appearance, a chair from the U of L library, a plant from the U of L library, my headphones, a fern clipping, a Rubik's cube, a recycling bin, a bottle of hand sanitizer, a combination lock, sunglasses, and my art kit.













2. Contour Line Drawing: The same items as above, with a small difference in order.











3. The Large Drawing (18"x24"). This art piece consists of drawings of the other subjects. The goal was to bring items that remind me of my University experience so far, from items that I bought and used over COVID, such as the lock, the sunglasses, and the hand sanitizer, to items from the library, such as the plants and the chair, to my headphones, which help me on a daily basis. To top it off, a Rubik's cube for an element of confusion.
I think a good title for this would be, "My University Experience So Far". Maybe it's a little long and unoriginal, but I think it fits. Apologies for the poor picture quality, the image may be a little hard to see.

Assignment 1

  Assignment 1 Mason Gatner These are my drawings for my first assignment from Drawing Studio II class at the University of Lethbridge. The assignment was to make one drawing from observation, and another that was purely chance driven.      The first drawing (above) was an observational drawing, not copied from a photo or another drawing. I wondered what to draw for this. There was a lot I wanted to draw from observation. One day, while I was taking a break, doing laundry and watching a horror movie, I looked over and saw my parent's chair, sitting there, catching light from the window and I thought, "Why am I thinking so hard about this? I like how the chair looks right now, and it's right there. Why not?" So, I grabbed my sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, a white stub for blending, and I drew the chair. I loved working on the shadows, the texture, and noticing the little details I never really noticed before, like the pattern on the fabric, or how the shadows were a...

Assignment 5: Scribble Line

 Assignment 5: Scribble Line Sketchbook Drawings: The first part of the assignment was to use scribbles to make drawings. I didn't understand the assignment well enough though, and ended up making contour drawings. I wish I did, cause then I could have drawn something cool, like a monster or an OC. The materials I used were pencil crayons (x2 colors), charcoal, ink pen, permanent marker, alcohol-based marker. This next aspect of the assignment was to study value and shading using scribbles. I can safely say, after learning more about what was expected from the assignment, I'm happier with the results here. Materials used were ballpoint pen, highlighter, pencil (B3), pencil (H3), and crayon. The Big Scribble This was the large project. I got the idea for this while experimenting with tape and scribbles. I originally wanted to draw something more defined and fantastical, but I think I was more interested in something simpler, like this. Of course, I still managed to add a fantast...
