Our First Assignment

Hello whoever is reading this *waves*! Haha, our first assignment's purpose has always been on the tip of my tongue. I mean, I knew some purposes that it could be but I felt like I needed to do it in order for me to really appreciate its reason for existence. I started then messed up and started over. I'm horrible with rulers because I make the lines straight but crooked at the same time (if that makes any sense) and my first attempt was especially off quilter so I got a new sheet out. In the middle of my second attempt, I found out why I was told to do this. Lines are the basics of drawing, and not just in a creating outlines way. They can portray distance, shape, and shading by how closely or far you draw the lines away from one another. Close= dark and further away. Spaced out = lighter and closer. I love lines. They help me planing the way I'll shade something and building 3d shapes (crosshatching and direction).
