This is my line drawing of a coffee percolator which I did in pencil, without using shading. I found it hard to get the lines straight and make it look 3D. I also struggled getting the top and the bottom curves equal. I then chose to use a 9B graphite stick to get a more definite line. I drew the ellipses first, to get them lined up, and then drew my next line drawing. I found that this was more successful because the proportions were right and because the lines were darker I think it communicated the shape and form better.
We also tried drawing objects with as few marks as possible (each time the pencil lifted off the paper counted as a mark). I drew a phone using nine marks. I found this very interesting because it made me really think about which lines were important, and what could be left out without affecting the communication of the object to the viewer. I quite enjoyed the challenge of drawing in such a stripped-back and basic style.
