Week Five Journal Entry

For week five we worked on a still life, which was pretty cool. I had trouble placing the objects on the paper in a way that made it seem 3D, but in the end it turned out all right. I really liked the advice Lauren gave me for drawing, such as trying to draw the shape you see rather than the object you think of. Like if I were to draw a paintbrush, I might try and draw a typical looking paintbrush, but in order to draw the one in front of my I could draw the shape that I see. Another really helpful piece of advice she gave me was to look at the negative space between obects, to learn how to space them evenly. :)
