For my inquiry assignment, I am going to be working on my drawing skills. I have always loved doing art but when it came to drawing, I never felt like it was my strong suit. It has deterred me from doing something I love, so I thought this assignment would be a great opportunity to face my fears and practice my drawing skills.
To start this inquiry assignment, I had a math project where I needed to make some flash cards with drawings on them. So I thought this would be a great chance to take a bit of extra time and work on my drawing skills. Since this was my first time working on my drawing, I started with very simple images (a bed, clothes, food, etc). I would search for simple images or how to draw videos of the picture I wanted to make and followed along. I struggle a bit with figuring out the dimensions of my drawings, so it’s very helpful for me to have a guide to follow along with.
Something I learned from doing all these drawings is that dimensions are changed and shown through different sizes. So for example, when I drew my plate of spaghetti, I left a thicker space between the spaghetti and outline of my plate which got smaller when it got to the sides. This better shows that the spaghetti is sitting on a plate and it’s not just this weird circle that has no meaning.
I definitely still have so much to learn about drawing but I believe this was a great introduction that gave me a lot of beginner skills I can expand on for the next little while.
