Drawing a crushed can is a challenging task. There will be complicated creases and folds to understand. The material (metal) reflects light more than other objects creating many value changes. After you find the can you would like to draw, crush it. Make it flat enough the you can keep it in your sketchbook or close by so when you have the time you can look at it. View the video below to help you see steps someone else took to complete the drawing. This drawing will be due on 11/1.
What will make this drawing successful is getting everything in proportion, portraying the correct value changes, and paying close attention to detail. So begin with observing the can. What shape does it make now that it is crushed? Draw that first, then slowly start to build up value changes. Try to have similar lighting when you draw the can. Most lights in rooms are directly above, but if there is a large window it may effect the highlights and shadows, if you begin with a contour drawing you can wait until you have a large chunk of time time to do the surface. I am looking forward to seeing the final drawings.
