inspiration:

Showing the color without using any.


Getting light and dark areas to pop out.


Getting the smaller details.

Samples:
(not related to inspiration, just gettign a feel for the tools)



I want to get the smaller details.

For my project I will be using black and white scratch paper in the biggest size possible (not sure exactly how big). I plan to use hatching and try to give every area texture. I want to draw smaller sketches of nature then bring them back and put the pieces together while adding my own touch. I especially want to catch the essence of fall and bring it to life without colors.

My goal for this project is to really get a feel for drawing landscapes. For me it is challenging and this is a great opportunity to get better. Scratch paper isn't the easiest materiel and I believe that this could help to improve my sketching skills with simpler things like pen or pencil. With the paper it will also be harder to cover up mistakes and it could help me to disguise mess ups and make them beautiful.

    This is a great project with wonderful learning goals. You are really challenging yourself to use observation in an interesting way. The only thing is your pictures didn't show up in this post. Try putting them in again so that I can give you full credit.

    Malia these are so great! I like how you worked with a lot of colors, and not just black and white. I can already tell that your project is going to look great. :)
