These are my 5 compositional sketches that I created before I did my final drawing. 1. I created an interesting point of view by making the balls in the front bigger and towards the back smaller and making the end of the table smaller in the distance.
2. It's important to understand perspective because it gives the art piece dimension whether its drawing or painting or whatever you chose. If you don't use perspective you wouldn't be able to tell what's closer to you and what's further away from you and nothing would look at all realistic. 3. The colored pencil exercises helped me a lot when creating this piece because I have never used them before so if I went and did this drawing with no prior knowledge of how to use colored pencils the whole drawing would have been an unblended mess. 4. The technique I used for my colored pencils was using the lightest color first then creating shadows using different colors you wouldn't normally use. I think everything is fairly blended it was just really hard on the green part of the pool table because I also wanted it to have some texture. 5. I think I was able to create depth by making it noticeable that the balls in the front are the bigger ones and the pocket is smaller because it's in the back. 6. Using prisma colors were very challenging for me and getting how to blend down was difficult because sometimes I didn't know how hard to press my pencil down on the paper. The advantages to using colored pencils was I was able to use different colors no one would use for creating value. 7. I do think I was prepared for the most part for this project but I would like to have studied how to use colored pencils more and the techniques for creating texture.
