I initially wanted this charcoal drawing to be a magnified picture of a leaf. I choose to represent this organic plant because I wanted to experiment with lines. To have them be of different lengths, and widths to create the illusion of depth and space. Through this peace I have also experimented with value. Some of these lines appear to be black and of a heavier width to make them bold and standout. However, next to some of these big, bold lines lie some greyish white lines. The lines in this light shade are generally more petit and thus giving them a much more soft appearance against the bold lines. Having these two dramatic values against one another creates a false sense of depth and gives the illusion of space as well.
