For this exercise I was asked to choose a simple single object, I chose a tube of acrylic paint.
I was then asked to work with four drawing tools, I chose a pencil, a biro, black ink and a ball point pen.
I then split my page into four and drew the object four different times using my different drawing tools, rather than drawing heavy outlines though, I worked using mark making techniques such as cross hatching, hatching spots and a scribble. Below are my results.

I am not especially pleased with the accuracy of my drawings however I am pleased with my mark making. This mark making allowed me to think about adding tone in a way that’s different than just shading with my pencil. I look forward to using this technique in the future.

I then arranged more objects. This time I chose, two perfume bottles, the tube of acrylic paint and my tea cup. I chose these objects as I found their reflective properties exciting, and I hoped the reflections would make for an interesting drawing? Below I have experimented with layout.

I then drew my favourite layout and I tried to fiocus on showing tone with different mark making techniques. I worked a2 size and used a range of drawing materials such as ink, graphite stick, charcoal and a biro. Below is my result.

Even though I worked on a2 paper I didn’t manage to fill the page. Working large scale is something I clearly need to work on.
I enjoyed the process of this drawing, not worrying too much about accuracy and experimenting quickly with mark making. However I am not entirely happy with my final result. My shape and form isn’t as accurate as I would like it to be. Even though I like my marks and find them quite exciting and expressive I don’t think they are accurate enough?
