1. Did you use a fluid line? Explain how this is evident?
For me it was very hard to use fluid lines because I have a slight tremour, so my lines are more like slighty squiggly connected lines. They could have been more fluid if I had done more planning so that the object's lines didn't overlap. Overall, they do look connected, and it was hard to try to make them connected while resisting the urge to pick my pen up.
2. Explain how your knowledge and creating practice studies with contour line contributed your success of your piece.
I have only done contour drawing once before in Art 1 so my previous knowledge was very little. Doing a landscape was a big step up and you really had to look at every little line. Doing the practice studies helped me learn how to take every line in, and fit all the details I could. So by the time I got to the classroom, I knew how to attack a harder image to draw.
3. Describe the difference in your contour line drawing to an outline drawing.
The first big difference is not being able to pick up your pencil, which causes for thicker lines and some weird connecting line you wouldn't normally do in an outline drawing. Also with the contour we draw every little line and detail we see, while the outline just captures the basic shape of the object(s).
4. Explain how your interpretauon of line is essential in capturing the look of the line.
The look of the line in contour drawings are very different because there is only one solid line. Without shading, you have to look at an object and picture it in different lines, so instead of shading in a fold in fabric you are drawing a line to show the folds. Focusing on all the lines that make up what your drawing is going to help a lot in contour drawings.
5. What did you learn from completing this drawing? If you could recreate you piece what would you do differently to enhance the final outcome?
What I learned from this drawing is that every line is essential, and to interpret lines in a different way. It taught me to look at all the details and to tackle this project in different sections. If I could recreate this piece I would take more time to plan where my lines were going to go and try not to stop in the middle of a line for too long that the ink bleeds and makes a dot in the middle of the lines.
