Week 2: Form and Shape

A 10 minute negative space drawing focused on the forms in the composition.

The composition in the image, while central and potentially not very interesting because of this, is otherwise good as there are no orphaned objects, especially interesting as this means all the objects essentially merge into one due to the negative space, creating an effect where you are not quite sure where objects meet, but are aware of multiple objects in the image. There are also some interesting lines going through the tops and middles of the objects, creating a feel where the objects seem almost to be scaled up in size the further to the right they go.

The stark whiteness central to the image stands out from the background and creates interesting tonal values in the image, included in this is the drapery which has only been semi-shaded, creating a suggestion of space without a large amount of information.
