Observational Drawings

To the left is my first observational drawing piece, the object I was working from was a pomegranate. I firstly used a 2b pencil to drawing the small drawing in the bottom corner. I used a 2b because I wanted small detailed lines to communicate the structure of the pomegranate seeds. In the top corner I created a small fluid piece using the juices from the pomegranate to get a sense of colour but by keeping the black and white drawing separate. I drew this piece when I first opened the pomegranate, so the fruit was still quiet hard and white inside, I used the pencil really softly over these areas so that I could create strong and sharp edges around them to direct the viewers eye towards the seeds inside.

Here is another pencil drawing of mine, however this one is of another object, this is inside of a red cabbage, I cut into the vegetable to discover these interesting and bold lines. 
I added these lines in as close to the real thing as possible, I picked this one small section, because I really liked the way that the lines fed to a focal point which was a lot more exciting this focal point was the left hand side in the middle, the viewers eye should be caught on the top right corner and then led a journey towards a change in angle to this focal area. I used the juices again for this piece to show the colours, as I thought that the play a key role in making this vegetable very exciting, however I did not want it to detract from the basic pencil drawing so there were only small subtle hints.
