This week we learned how to create value using pen and ink techniques. These included stippling, hatching, cross-hatching and invented. Here are four different forms done in different types of pen and ink techniques. This was a mini project that took about two or three days to practice our pen and ink technique. I used stippling for the bottle.

SketchesThese are a few sketches from my sunflower perspective pen and ink project. The sketches in pencil were to figure out the placement of flowers on the page, and on the side I was testing different petal shapes. In the other photo is a final sketch of the placement of flowers where I practiced stippling a few pieces to test the values. FinalI ended up choosing to stipple a bunch of sunflowers because out of the four techniques we practiced, stippling was the one that I found most intriguing. I chose the sunflower idea because I thought the value in the petals would be interesting to work with and I also knew I could work a lot of perspective into it. I used perspective in the placement of the sunflowers. The large half flower is the focus point, but the background has smaller flowers to incorporate proper perspective. There is a lot of texture in this piece due to the stippling of the entire thing. This creates value and perspective as well. Without value, there would be no depth to the piece.
Going into this project I did not expect it to take as long as it did. I spent about two weeks working on this project using a .01 brown micron pen and some 9x12 cream colored drawing paper. Each area of each flower had to be carefully executed in order to create value and perspective in the piece. I feel like it could be executed much better by someone with more experience in stippling, but for a first try I think I did a decent job. If I could redo this piece I would start with the large half flower and work my way down in size. My value was very dark for the second largest flower (bottom right) and I am not a huge fan on how the center of that flower blended out. In order to create a realistic looking piece you need to have a really clear idea of what each section will look like before you try to start.
