For my repetition piece that is supposed to resemble Wayne Thiebaud I have chosen to sketch cupcakes. The way the light hits the icing gives it clear light and dark areas making it easy to create a print. Also the details in the cupcake wrapper will give me a challenge when I begin to make my linoleum print. I like the sketch on the right the best but for my print I am going to use the sketch on the left because I feel that the light and dark areas are easier to distinguish. This difference in dark and light will help when I start carving my linoleum print. Thiebaud's repetition is reflected in my own sketches but I do not have the cupcake repeated as many times as Thierbaud would normally have an object repeated.
Nicely sketched. I like the shadows on the icing.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for the ellipses on the bottom, they are rounded like the top ellipses.
Consider photographing the sketches so the drawing fills the frame, not the background. You can turn the camera.
