If I could do this assignment again I would improve:
I would improve on shading the background shadows of my shoe drawing. It was the most difficult part for me to do because I couldn't balance out the pencil to have the same value, and it was harder to shade on a wide, empty area of the paper.
Why is contrast important in pencil drawing?
Contrast is an important element of pencil drawing, because it shows the differentiation between the different level of values the picture contains. A good knowledge of contrast in drawing helps us significantly because it shows that we have learnt the difference of light and dark values.
