Final piece landscape

The composition of the landscape is good as the arrangement that was in the frame shows a lot of archways which pleases the eye. The levels of detail in this drawing makes this drawing more pleasing to the eye because the levels adds depth. The foreground is the pillar and the front of the archway which is there to add depth to the rest of the drawing makes the other two levels more pleasing for the eye. The midground  contains the second  archway and the second pillar. The left side of the archway would be the focal point of the image because of the shading and the impressionistic detail on the wall. The background contains the wall and the archway and the window. All of those objects are there so that the drawing does not just end with a void. There is a clear line in the image which can start from the pillar in the foreground  to the the pillar in the mid ground which follows the second line of the first archway, it then goes along the bottom of the wall to the  background.

There is impressionism all over the drawing to lower the complexity of all the designs carved into the stone and wood and it also shows the tiles. The carvings in the stone are in the background which was just done with scribbles to add some detail there and the wood was done with a few quick lines and the tiles on some of the walls are shown with lines. The impressionism used allow the eyes to follow the line of the drawing without confusing the eye. There are multiple sources of light in the drawing one is on the wall in the midground and another is coming from the background and is just out of sight because the landscape is an interior the shadows were simplified to make the landscape look alive without it confusing the eye with different types tones and highlights all over the place. The textures of the stone on the archway was captured by the shading because of how the light is not reflecting of any of the stone.

Final piece figure

The anatomy of the figure is good because all the bones and the muscles in the drawing are in the correct positions. The gesture of the legs gives the drawing life because of the bottom leg going underneath the other making the figure look like they are resting on there side. The pose is static because the gesture makes the figure look calm and the figure would be able to stay in that pose for a while. The angles on the figure adds to the weight of the figure. The angle of the shoulders show that the figure is leaning over to one side which adds to the gesture. The foreshortening particularly on the back of the top leg shows that the leg is coming closer.  The figure is mostly in proportion to the head however the foot underneath the leg is out of proportion which could have been due to the angle the foot was in.

The balance and weight of the of the figure  keep the figure looking like it can support it's self. In this drawing the balance and weight is on the lower side of the figure because the figure is leaning slightly to one side so to stay still the figure had to put more weight there so she could balance.  The figure is in a closed form because the pose of the figure is pulling the focus inward. The figure is doing that by having the knees bent as if it is going closer to the torso. If the arm  was stretched outward it would  be any open form because the focus will be outwards.

Final piece Still Life

The arrangement of the  objects makes the still life good as there is no orphaned objects, kissing objects or any centralized objects which allows for a better more pleasing composition because the eye will be able to follow the line of the objects without being confused. The focal point of the drawing is the basket as this is the object that the eye is instantly drawn to because of the size and the shading of the object. If you follow the line of the focal point you will find the other two objects that are the areas of interest these are here to keep the eye from losing interest in the still life and so the eye can follow the entire drawing. The shape of the objects contour were drawn with Convex's and Concaves  on the wooden basket this gives makes the basket look more interesting especially on the rim of the basket. The form of all the objects was given by the shadows that were given off from the light. There are signs of different shading techniques. The one in particular cross hatching for the fabric on the table which would have been done so that there would look like it had a fabric texture.

The cast shadows are mainly found underneath the wooden pencil case and the behind the wooden basket. As the one underneath the pencil case is so small the shadow that is cast, the tone or the value of the shading does not change. However the cast shadow of the basket gets lighter nearer to the shadow of the handle. The form shadows on the basket looks to have a few bits where it rises so near the rim it is darker as it goes in but the is very light in the middle because of the light, lower down there are similar bits like that to show the form through shading. The objects overlap in the drawing making the three levels of detail. The basket is in the foreground and the pencil case is in the mid ground and the hexagon box is in the background. This adds a level of depth to the drawing as the objects are obviously behind each other. The objects in the drawing are in proportion as the objects are behind the basket so the other two objects will be smaller.
