Still Life and Aberrant Scale

Still Life and Aberrant Scale

I did this piece with coloured pencils.  I originally filled most of the page with a rubber band ball.  To make it look huge I added a small desk with a chair and a ceiling light.  I finished it by adding a little bit of shading for shadows. I wanted the sketch to be pretty simple.  I didn't want to add a whole room or any other objects. The rubber band ball is my still life piece, the chair and the light are there to make the rubber band ball look huge.  I had originally only wanted to do the rubber band ball but I added the other objects to fill the requirement.  It actually looks pretty cool so I think the project was a success, I usually draw cartoons or realistic portraits so drawing still life was kind of a challenge.  I had to redo it a couple times to get shadows and angles right.  It was relatively rigorous because the rubber bands are hard to follow so there was a lot of going back and fixing lines that I didn't realise connected.
