Basic Marks

These are a collection of images for practising drawing basic marks and lighting and shade in pencil. My basic mark page shows my attempts at drawing using different angled lines in squares. I found this particularly challenging with diagonal lines as I found it hard to judge where each line would need to start and finish to keep the square shape.
My lighting and shade practise was more successful and I managed to show a range of values through varying the pressure on the pencil and apply these values to a spherical shape in a realistic way. 



This is a quick pencil sketch to practise drawing objects in proportion relative to each other. This was successful as I managed to demonstrate the scale of the box in relation to the table whilst keeping it in perspective. I also tried to show the shadow cast by the object; I feel this would have been more successful had I shaded this to show it was supposed to be a shadow cast by the object.
Whilst my object is proportionally correct, I ended up drawing the table at an angle on the paper and this is made more obvious by the scan also being at a slight angle. In future I need to pay more attention to the angle of my lines that are meant to be at a 90 degree angle in relation to the edge of the paper for better judgement.
