Light Reflection

For this project, my drawing showed a jellyfish underwater. Our focus was drawing light, and for that I had to really think about all the darks I would need to include for the light to show stronger. This was a very interesting process, because I decided to make the background black, and jellyfish are practically invisible underwater. I could have done this many different ways, and tried one way, but it didn't work out as well as I wanted. The way I ended up coming about this drawing was to use charcoal to shade the entire piece of paper black. Then, I went back and used and eraser to erase the parts of the jellyfish that I wanted to reflect with light. In the end I think it turned out pretty well. I believe that what I chose to draw really reflected the idea of light.
