In my drawing of a wolf standing outside of a cave watching the sunrise, I encountered challenges related to both lines and shading.
Lines: One area that presented challenges was creating realistic fur texture. I struggled with capturing the softness and flow of fur, particularly in the wolf's face and body. To overcome this, I experimented with different pencil pressures and stroke techniques. I used short, light strokes in the direction of the fur to create a sense of volume and texture. I also paid attention to the reference images and studied how the fur lines flowed in different parts of the body.
Shading: Another challenge I faced was achieving a smooth gradient of shading, especially in the sky and the cave's interior. I found it difficult to maintain an even distribution of tone and avoid visible pencil strokes. To solve this, I used a combination of shading tools, such as blending stumps and cotton swabs. I applied varying degrees of pressure to blend the different shades together, ensuring a smoother transition. Additionally, I layered multiple pencil strokes with varying intensities to build up the desired tone gradually.
Looking to the future, I plan on integrating my understanding of depth, lines, and shading into my upcoming projects by further practicing these techniques. I will dedicate more time to studying and observing different subjects to improve my ability to capture their three-dimensional qualities realistically. Additionally, I will continue exploring different shading tools and experimenting with their effects to expand my range of artistic expressions.
Furthermore, I intend to venture into more complex compositions that challenge me to apply perspective and depth in creative ways. By incorporating these elements into my future art, I hope to continue evolving my artistic strategy and push the boundaries of my abilities. Continuous practice, observation, and experimentation will be important aspects of my artistic growth.
