Copy stand picture

Picture outside in low light

Hey everyone today I'm going to talk about my chess piece. In this post I'm going to talk about what I did in the drawing. To upload this picture to the PC I used three techniques scanning, copy stand and taking the picture outside in low light. I found that the best way to take the picture was out side in low light, but you can only use this method on a sunny or dry day because if the ground is wet it will destroy your picture. The copy stand can cause your picture to look shiny. Finally scanning does not always get the full picture sometimes you are missing edges.


When I was drawing my chess piece I tried to create movement by making my chess piece look like it was falling and being caught by the shadows. I created a 3D looking chess piece by blending the shadows around the chess piece. Using gradation I warp my shadow around the concave. I used thick and thin lines I made it so all the lines lead you to one point the chess piece/focal point. This created movement towards the focal point. In conclusion I created a visually interesting picture drawing the persons eye to the chess piece and leave people thinking about what the Black Shadows are\
