Reflection (10th)

I continued to study shapes along with shading and reflections. I attempted to sketch the images below that are shown in the section of forms. The easier shapes for me were the sphere and pyramid, while the challenging shapes were the cone and cylinder. The sphere’s shape was simple to replicate, as was the sideways-diamond bottom of the pyramid shape. After completing the base piece, it was easy to draw the lines that linked it. The ellipses forming the bases for the cylinder and cone proved difficult, as I am used to drawing circles instead and not ellipses. Creating the cube was another easy requirement for my abilities. The shading remained in mostly an identical format for each piece. It was cross-hatching on the side where the reflection was and hatching near the top sections. Every reflection was hatched horizontally. I realized the way the reflections were placed corresponded to how the object will look if its very backside became its bottom component. Exercises such as these are helping me see the images from an artistic perspective. I am aiming to search for another exercise or a scene that would use elements I utilized.
