Natural History Museum

We were given an objective to create 5 drawings of objects around the environment, ones that we visualise in the museum, ensuring that we had included parts of the architecture of the walls and the case of the objects.

What did you learn?

Just by observing an object whilst drawing, I had learnt that it is important to visualise an object that I see of interest and to add more information around the background of the object that I am sketching out including bits around the environment. In relation I had to look and think about the scale in parts of the building in relation to the people and objects.

Also I learned that when I am drawing I should make sure that my drawings show a gradation of traditional shading techniques as it will enable more value to my drawings making them more convincing.

I could improve further by documenting more materials and adding different tones, textures and hatch markings.
