I drew this still life as part of my portfolio for my collage interview for Langside collage.

it consists of my compact, choker and eyeliner which i set up near the edge of a table.

I'm not used to drawing still life.

zeldafan92Not bad, not bad at all. I love the idea and the dynamic view you took to look at the items.

Recommendation for still life and black and white shading (it's a pain in the @$$ to do):

Have a bit more intense highlights to distinguish the light parts from the dark. I can see you did so already but adding a some more white in certain places (especially curves in object) would really make the picture 'pop'.

Also, when doing still life it is important to gain multiple texture. When you have smooth objects such as a plastic combact or you want the pencil lines to bend as much as possible and keep even strokes. Also shadows should fade out a bit more to were you have multiple tones. And finally if at all possible texture and shading to the background.

You did and awesome job on this nonetheless. The choker is excellent, and the other object look very nice as well ^____^

Sorry if my critic was soooooooo looooooooong and annoying. I tend to babble. Again, your picture is awesome and very creative *thumbs up*

ladychaosthank you, when i was drawing this the lighting wasn't very good so the highlights were hard to determin.
To be honest i thaught that if i leave the background as it is the still life would stand out more
