#6 journal reflection black paper white chalk – honest abe

The black paper white chalk – honest abe was in-class work. When I draw this picture, I

used different technique. Actually, I mostly used the technique which is cross hatching to

make dark and light values in a composition. But at this time, I used white chalk in the

black paper. When I draw using white chalk, I drew lines using the side of the chalk. To

draw the three-dimensional picture in the black paper, I draw more lines and lighter than

other part. While drawing I shouldn’t use the contour lines to draw the outline of the

picture. So I dotted to draw the lines and used cross hatching technique which helps to

draw the shadow and value in a composition. In addition, I also draw using dot lines.

Before creating real lines for outline, I dotted first. After dotted as well, I drew the lines

clearly. When I draw the shading, I used abrupt and gradual transition. The techniques of

the abrupt and gradual transition help to create the painting a cubic effect. Generally, I

used abrupt transition around the cheek part and over the eyebrow. And I used gradual

transition around on the forehead and the hair part.
