KickStart Your Day

I wanted the composition of my still life project to show all of the cans and all of the different sides of the cans. I also created a top vanishing point for the cans to all go towards so that hey would also stay in an exact line. I used a thumbnail sketch, a quick sketch to show different compositions of a drawing, to see which composition I would like to draw the most. To create the thumbnail sketch I used a viewfinder to be able to see only the cans and what I wanted to see. A viewfinder helps you see the cans like it is a photograph to where you can only see it in a rectangular box. My final choice was to make it lines to show all the sides of the cans. To make the items seem three dimensional I showed the curve of the cans and how the light reflects on the can making it lighter in some areas. Lastly I used a light source to show how the can makes a prism shadow. I created my light source by the light source when I did my thumbnail sketch. I made the light source visible by the shadows on the cans going to the bottom left corner; making the light source coming from the top left corner.
