Shadow Cubes

In class we worked on more shading and stacked up our cubes that we made to practice the shading. I had a lot of trouble with the contours at first but I realized that it was much easier to just draw them out lightly and then darken over the more confident lines. After the contour was done I would shade in the cubes and then other remaining factors, such as people or notebooks, I would just gesture draw and try to shade a little bit.


Sketch in pen.



I saw shadows inside of shadow....if that makes any sense. Some of the light was conflicting and causing shadows to lay over each other at different tones. This was particularly hard and in the drawing above I made an attempt to replicate these shadows over each other.
