Week 4

                                                  
                                         This is a 45 minute exercise which focuses on foreshortening.
My main objective with ths sketch was to show how foreshortening affects objects.Notice how the headstock of the guitar is similar in length to the guitar neck and only slightly small than the guitars body, showing that the object has been drawn from an extreme angle. Although this study successfully show a good use of foreshortening, the bridge of the guitar seems to lack depth and is somewhat flat in appearance.The ellipse of the sound hole also looks like it may not have been drawn at the correct angle. This sketch may also be let down by the shading, although this was not my main focus for this study.
                               

Here is another 15 minute study of foeshortening.

unlike the previous study this object has not been drawn from such an extreme angle but foreshortening is still evident in the right handle of the pliers. By opening the pliers we are able to see a direct comparison between the foreshortened handle and the handle on the left which is drawn from a normal angle. More time has been spent shading this object to try and create the difference in texture between the plastic handle and the darkened metal of the pliers head.
