So these are my newest sketches. Let's start with the one on top.

As I mentioned in class today, I wanted to start working with squares. So I went home and started working on this. Squares are more challenging to make because they involve more steps and more accurate construction lines so that they are actually square! As you can see, this one is pretty asymmetrical and contains many overlapping sections. I'll be starting the value soon.

Now for the lower image. Here is another symmetrical composition, although this one is definitely more complicated than my sphere image. Coming up with a value pattern for this one is going to be a challenge.

Both of these new images should stand out from the others because they are based on square construction rather than circular and triangular construction. All of the angles seen above are either 45 or 90 degrees. There are no in between angles formed here since each additional shape is formed from an existing line within the image. In future images involving squares, I will create true overlapping by basing shapes off of multiple lines instead of just the initial drawn line. If you don't understand what I'm talking about just ask me and I'll try to explain it a better way.
