Suitcase Project - Large Scale Suitcase Drawing

Tone became an important factor as I closely examined how the lighting played a part in the objects inside the suitcase. For a composition this size it was crucial that I captured the proportions of the suitcase in relation to the objects as accurately as I could before even filling any of the items. To make my marks more expressive I drew the entire composition using either charcoal or graphite on the end of a stick the length of my arm, this also made sure I didn't get to close and personal with the drawing as it required an overall view to be precise.
