This is my second in progress photo of the project. I added the label near the bottom, added a few lines, and started adding value. I am having trouble getting the exact colors of the erasers, but other than that, I think this is going well so far.

This is my in progress photo of the project. We have to submit this today to be counted present, as we do not have live class today. I tried to draw the pencils as accurately as I could based on how they were positioned in relation to each other and the lines on the inside of my drawer. Because of this, the pencils in the drawing are not the same size, unlike the actual pencils in the package. Despite this, I think this is good progress for now. We were instructed to draw a final sketch in our sketchbook. The image on the left is the photo I have chosen for this project, and the image on the right is a picture of my sketch. I think the final sketch looks pretty good. I had some issues with the proportions and shading. I wasn't really good at getting the exact color of the pencils without making them too yellow, orange or black. Although I am not completely satisfied with the colors or proportions, I think it looks fine enough.
Clear Bowl with FruitBox of PencilsI have chosen the box of pencils and the clear bowl with fruit as my two ideas for this project. I am planning on using the photos as the compositional sketches. For the fruit, I changed the position of the bowl a couple times to get better photos. For the box, I took the first three photos with all of the pencils inside, while the last two photos had some pencils sticking out. I had some trouble finding good camera angels with bowl of fruit, but I didn't have too much trouble taking photos of the box of pencils.
I am planning on using the following ideas in deciding which one I will use on the project:
1. Clear bowl full of fruit. 2. Ceiling light in my room. 3. Vase with flowers. 4. Electric Pencil Sharpener, front view. 5. View of inside of microwave through door. 6. Box of No.2 pencils, some sticking out. 7. Clear bag of grapes, bird's eye view. 8. Plastic bag with groceries. 9. Glasses with arms folded. 10. Cookies in clear wrapper, the wrapper would be open. 11. Bag of bread. 12. Cheese slices in clear wrapper. 13. Prismacolor pencil package, some sticking out. 14. Clear packaging of paper, the stack sticking out a little. 15. Jar of mayonnaise, not completely full. I had an easy time with coming up with some of them, but struggled later on. I think this project will be good for practicing how to show when something is behind or inside of a clear object. My preferred ideas are #1, #4, #5, #9, and #11. For this assignment, we were required to draw a piece of candy with an opaque wrapper, and a piece of candy with a clear wrapper. I used a Twix and a Swedish Fish. I had a trouble making the color of the Twix wrapper. The actual wrapper had more of a gold color, which I found difficult to show with the Prismacolor pencils I got. I also had trouble showing the reflections on the Swedish Fish wrapper using the Prismacolor pastels. I didn't have too much trouble coloring the candy inside of it. I did not fill up the entire sheet of paper, leaving some room on the right. I think I could've done better on this drawing, by coloring more accurately, and by filling up the whole sheet. For this assignment, we had to take pictures of two eggs with a defined light source and shadows. We then had to choose one picture to use a reference. We had to use both warm and cool colors to draw the eggs. I used the bottom middle picture as the reference photo. I used cool colors on the eggs, and I used warm colors for the background, along with some black on the shadows and white on the eggs and a white patch in the background. I think it looks decent. However, I think I could improve on blending the colors, and making the shine marks stand out more. I also should have used a pencil to draw the eggs, shadows, and background line, rather than use a pastel stick.
