Shapes, Contrast and Lines

For my second drawing class I was able to practice my shading a lot more. For this class we learned more about using various shapes in our drawings and were told to find objects to draw that had certain shapes to it. I chose to draw this bench which  is similar to the bench I sat on while doing this drawing because of its shapes. It was hard to get the lines right because of the angle that I was sitting at and the angle of the bench in relation to me. Once again, after a lot of erasing I was able to to get my lines better but I didn't until I began shading that they still were off. Overall, I like the way the shading looks a lot. I think it creates a more realistic drawing.

I also attempted to draw a window and the red fire alarm light to show the contrast between the red of the alarm and the white walls. My final drawing was to attempt to draw my friend's coat which was lying on the bench in the distance. The left side of the coat proved to be a lot easier to draw than the right side. I did not think I would be to draw the lines as well as I did for the left side. In the end I am happy with the end result of all three drawings from the second class.
