From this assignment, I have learned various techniques of sketching. I also learned to be more observant of my surroundings and pay attention to the details of objects. Some of the drawings required charcoal, artline & other media so I was able to hone my skills in using these tools. For the eighth sketch which is artistic representation of a famous building, I experimented with coffee as my media to do Big Ben. It was interesting as the final product had this glossy surface to it due to the sugar from the coffee. I also had problems when using this media as it only comes in one shade. To fix the problem, I mixed the coffee with black acrylic paint to get a darker shade.
