Basic Shape And Fundamental Form
Check and Log:

During these exercises I found some objects and angles harder to draw than others. The items I have drawn are on the whole, generally correct in size and shape in relation to one another. However I did find making some objects symmetrical on both sides of a vertical line quite difficult. The shapes between objects seem to be correct.

In the exercises where I drew boxes and books, I drew items as if you could see through them, thus the objects don’t seem to be solid. However on the following exercises the items do seem to be solid, due to the shapes used to make them look 3D, and the hidden lines of the drawings in the background.

Most of my drawings do not have much depth. I feel depth can only really be indicated in an image which is shaded or coloured.
