Line/Shape drawing activity

This activity really made me realize how closely lines and shapes are connected. It became difficult to try to distinguish the lines from the shapes that I drew because all the lines formed shapes, and all the shapes were composed of lines. However, I found that putting the paper down and stepping back to look at it from a distance helped me a lot. Then I could see better how the lines and shapes formed the overall continuous design. First I thought about it then penciled everything in to get a composition that i liked, and even after I started coloring it with the marker I kept erasing pencil and redrawing it in differently depending on how I saw it with the black marker. When I was done I was actually fairly pleased with the final outcome, although if I could do it again I might have done a few things differently, such as try to fill more of the page.
