material study: wood, carpet, textile, stone

For this project, we were to told to build upon the process of studying values through pens and pencils and depict a selection of materials textures, patterns, and detail at varying scales.  For my drawing, I chose wood, carpet, textile, and stone to work with.  For each material, we had to produce a pair of tow value studies, one in pen and one in pencil.  They had to be five squares in length, each square measuring 2" x 2".  We had to show them ranging from direct bright light to them being in a shadow or low light.  For one of the two studies of each material, one of them had to show the material at 1"=1'-0".

While working with each material, I thought the hardest to do was the carpet.  I went through and did individual circles to fill the space, then did connected spirals over top of it to make it not look so perfect.  The tile also took a really long time to do each individual shape.  The thing I struggled with the most was was the different scales and making them in proportion to the full scale one.
