Leaf Sketchbook

Sep 01. In Studio. The leaf appears old, dried, and tired. I showed this through the drawing by using many unblended lines to show the cracks throughout the leaf and also the thin dried veins. By not completely blending all the values, I made the leaf appear more fragile and stiff.

Studio Project 1

I first started my projecct with a same length paper covering the whole leaf. In my fnal one i changed the paper to be half of the tail and one of the top. It is a lot thicker in the middle to dramatacize the shape and width of the leave as it gets smaller towards the ends. My idea for this leaf was a strong leaf that could survive in harsh conditions becuase of its sticky sharp texture. That way, most of the leaf should be exposed to the sun and the way the paper is folded contrasts with the shape of the leaf making such a small leaf more visible and defined.
