I organized items I found from home in a very
simple way, with some of the items sitting behind the others. Before I even
started to use my pastels I made a thumbnail sketch. A thumbnail sketch is a small sketch an artist does to figure out what they wish to draw
and how they would set it up. Some students in our class used viewfinders to
help them figure out the composition of their pastel drawing; however, I did
not find it helpful and just drew the items in the way that I had taken the
picture.
To make some items appear dimensional I used
darker colors to shade in places where there were shadows, lighter colors to
shade in where the light was hitting an item, and I drew some items
slightly smaller to give the appearance of it being further away. I had a
balcony light as my light source, so all the items have light over top of them, making most of the shadows underneath and to the
sides of items.
