In the next few days as we create more sketches, I will focus on trying to bring together the elements of silhouette and line quality in order to produce a more complex, realistic sketch or design. For example, when I was beginning to draw a large tree trunk, I started by creating an outline of the basic shape of the trunk, and then I sort of filled it in with the most heavy lines that I saw in the bark of the tree. This produced an outline of the most basic marks on the trunk, which I liked because it wasn't a completely detailed drawing, but it still got the idea across and represented the tree trunk in its most basic form. I will also try to use the thickness/thinness of the lines that I draw in order to design shadows and highlights in my sketches.
