Negative Space Sketch

Here is a sketch where I was working with negative space. Instead of drawing the objects like the tree and ground, I shaded in the negative space. All the dark shading is actually the sky and gaps in the tree.

Plant Sketch

Here is a sketch I did at the beginning of the semester of two live plants. I was focusing on accuate proportions and shading. If i were to do it again I would use a hit-go-hit drawing style to get more precise, bold lines.
