Negative Space


With this sketch, the goal was to take an object and on color in the negative space around the object. It was hard at first to imagine something in "negative space." I found myself redrawing multiple times, after realizing I hadn't include all the negative space. I decided to do this lamp because it had a simple outline, but with the necklace it added something a little more difficult. Sketching is a skill that I would really like to improve in, and by doing this sketch I was able to learn the basics of outlining, and looking at an object by its figure rather than its details within it. This makes it easier for me to see objects differently, as well as knowing where to begin in a sketch.
