I chose to draw a brown-paper bag progressively getting smashed. Everyone else drew the Hershey kiss, and I already drew a well-detailed kiss. The paper bag is interesting because the shadows are similar to that of fabric. The shadows must be placed accordingly, or else the drawing will fail to look like a bag. The difference between the paper bag and fabric is the lighting is more distinctive and shadows not as dark. Folds of fabric create nice dark shadows, however, paper has minor folds that create tinted shadows and blotches of shade. This is much harder to accomplish because shading the bag is like making smooth gradients with the pencil. After evaluating the aspects of the piece, I feel that the paper bag is an overall good still-life object to work with. Shading it has taught me to use better methods when using pencil so I can make my shadows more realistic. The more the bag gets crushed, the easier it is to capture the shape and shading.
